postpartum doula toronto - belly bandit compression leggings

You’ve stocked the pantry with your favourite one-handed snacks, the diaper station is set up, your lactation tea is ready to go. But what happens when you have to leave the house for the first time, and you’re feeling anything but ready to put on something other than a robe and fuzzy slippers?

Transitional postpartum clothing is something that I would definitely recommend for any person who’s just given birth, whether it’s vaginally or via cesarean.

ENTER THE BELLY BANDIT LEGGINGS.

The gals over at Belly Bandit sent me a pair of postpartum leggings, and the compression technology on these bad boys are unreal. These leggings were made for parenthood! Mother Tucker® Leggings utilize Belly Bandit's world-famous compression technology to keep your postpartum tummy securely tucked. This product isn’t going to zap away your belly, however, the compression provides a really great amount of support to the “loose” feeling many new parents describe after delivery, especially for post c-section people who are lacking core strength.

One of the main “no one told me about this!” statements I hear from new parents is that the post-baby belly can feel pretty strange, with all that empty space and your internal organs moving back into place. Compression technology can help with the feeling of “putting everything back together.” These leggings engage the core, but are gentle enough for post-c-section compression and won’t irritate your incision.

The high cut was another standout feature for me. So many parents on the go have to worry about double layering shirts if they don’t have nursing friendly tops on, which is less than ideal for those postpartum hot flashes (or when you have to change TWO shirts when you get spit up on). The ultra-high waist provides complete coverage - perfect for discreet nursing wherever you go.

When teaching postpartum yoga, finding the perfect leggings that don’t dig in to the abdomen is hard to come by. You won't have to worry about digging as these Mothers provide a cinch without a pinch. Muffinology® Technology is what gives these leggings their superpower and the soft, breathable fabric will smooth you from the waist down - energizing your legs!

Thank you Belly Bandit for the sample. If you’re interested, they have a whole line of pregnancy and postpartum garments, underwear, and compression clothing that are totally worth adding to your list of new parent staples.
