What is it? Lululemon’s Align Leggings
Why parents love it: Moms-to-be say the soft, buttery leggings grow with your belly without stretching out, so you can wear them after your baby is born.
How much is it? $49-$69 (normally $98)
Where to buy it: Lululemon
For many moms-to-be, leggings are an essential part of their maternity wardrobe. But you may be hesitant to spend money on maternity pants which, in theory, can only be worn for nine months and shortly postpartum. Enter Lululemon. Moms in the What to Expect community specifically love the brand's Align high-rise leggings and consider them a favorite non-maternity item that you can wear before, during, and after your pregnancy.
These high-rise pants are normally a splurge at $98, but Lululemon has joined the Cyber Monday craze (a rare move by the retailer!), knocking the price tag down to as low as $49. But hurry — the biggest savings are limited to select styles and sizing, all of which are selling fast.
Made of a soft and breathable Nulu fabric, the high-rise pants feel like butter on your skin. They also have a lot of stretch, which is crucial when your body is constantly changing. “They worked with my growing bump, never felt too tight and helped me continue working out,” mom Cassie Shortsleeve says of the Lululemon leggings. “I quickly picked up two more pairs in one size up from my pre-pregnancy size.”
And she’s not the only one who considers these leggings a pregnancy staple. Here's a few more stamps of approval from the What to Expect community:
“I have literally 12 pairs… they’re the best, I’ve worn them for all three pregnancies, I wear my usual size 6, I have a couple pairs of 8 bc I preferred a color but don’t see a noticeable difference, I’m able to wear before during and after (caveat, I don’t get that big pregnant - don’t really show until the 3rd trimester). Worth every penny, love them!”
“I have three pairs of aligns that I purchased over the last few years, and honestly, they have been a BLESSING during this pregnancy. I’m currently 28 weeks, and they still fit perfectly. They provide the perfect amount of support! I definitely recommend.”
“They're the only thing I bought for maternity clothes and I absolutely love them.. Very comfortable and I plan on wearing them postpartum, too.”
“I have worn the same size 4 lulu pants before, during and after 2 pregnancies. I never size up and they never stretch out even wearing till the end - such good quality.”
“Lululemon pants are extremely versatile and can grow with with you. They’ll also keep their shape once you no longer have a belly. I have been wearing the align pants almost everyday now (considering these are the only things that’s fitting me these days ??).”
“I love the aligns they’re the only leggings I can stand. I wear my same size currently at 17 weeks as I did pre pregnancy (size 6). They do pill though so wash on delicate separately and hang dry!!”
Many reviewers recommend sizing up for maximum comfort during pregnancy. Several also note that the leggings tend to pill if run through the dryer, and suggest hanging them to dry as a solution.
The leggings are available in sizes 0 to 20 and in more than 40 color options. As previously noted, the leggings are currently part of Lululemon’s "Cyber Monday" promotion. Aside from the high-rise option, there are also biker shorts, bras, tank tops, and more from the Align lineup as low as $29 up for grabs.
Two things to keep in mind if you shop the special: First, the price will vary based on the color you choose. Second, not every color comes in every size, so your options may be limited. But if you’re not picky about color and in need of comfortable maternity leggings (or loungewear in general!), then you'll want to snap up a pair (or two) of Lululemon’s leggings before they all sell out.
