Hip: the widest part of your hips making sure the tape measure is even over your bum

 

Waist: your natural waistline above your belly button and below your rib cage

 

Bust: the fullest part of your bust at nipple level

      For maternity leggings, the hip measurement is the most important for finding your perfect fit.

       

      We've designed our pregnancy leggings with plenty of room for your growing bump, so don't use your waist measurement.

       

      Hip: the widest part of your hips making sure the tape measure is even over your bum

       

      Waist: your natural waistline above your belly button and below your rib cage

       

      Bust: the fullest part of your bust at nipple level

       

       

      Crops

      Due to the changes your body experiences during breastfeeding, we recommend comparing your under bust measurement (where your bra band sits) to the sizing chart below.

       

      Our nursing crops cater up to a DD cup. For larger cup sizes you may wish to size up.

      Bike Shorts

      "You know, I am a bit on the chunky side myself and not over confident with purchasing. I certainly don't look like the model but let me tell you. . . . even chunky these high waist bike shorts are the bomb. No spilling over the top, no roll down, good compression without looking fake, super comfy. They are my new favourites. I wear them with comfort and love the length. Will certainly be buying more"

      Deborah P. (5/5)

      Nice Pant

      "Brought for a gift very happy with fit"

      Black Essential Move Bike Shorts

      "Great fit and control whilst still feeling like you have no shirts on"

      Helen L. (5/5)

      Love the fit and that is not too tight at the bottom section!

      "Love them! they are tight at the top, an not too tight at the leg area, simply perfect!"

      Camila C. (5/5)

      Supported and confident

      "I am really enjoying wearing my new active shorts. The fabric is substantial providing opaque coverage. I love the higher waist band which provides compression on my tummy and discretion whilst I am working out. I will look towards the longer workout pants when the weather becomes cool."

      Kimberley H. (5/5)

      The comfiest bike shorts I’ve

      "The comfiest bike shorts I’ve ever worn. They don’t roll up, and the waistband stays put without digging in. Highly recommend."

      Natasha W. (5/5)

      These are the perfect bike

      "These are the perfect bike shorts for me. Love how they are high waisted, very comfortable. Fabric feels great."

      Lynda O. (5/5)

      Perfect fit

      "I have bought a couple of these now. I am usually a size 14, I bought the L and they fit perfectly. Initially I thought they might be too small but they stretch to fit and come up nice and high to hold in all my squishy bits. Very comfortable and supportive, I feel great in them"

      Belinda C. (5/5)
