I’m usually that girl who shells out for premium leggings, and I still think they’re fun as a treat, but I’ve now bought these so-called “compression” leggings in multiple colors. And since 74% of you told us in a recent Instagram poll that you live in leggings, we hope this practical hot tip can help make #momlife a little easier for you, too. So why compression? While we’d never advise going to extremes, we’re not opposed to a little help keeping everything in place. To be clear, this isn’t about hiding—we’re all for celebrating our bodies (and especially our bellies) at every stage. But adapting to an ever-changing shape can be distracting, and a little extra support around the stomach and hips can feel amazing after birth and help you focus on what’s important. What these $20 leggings have on even my most expensive pairs is that they are thick—meaning they don’t snag in the wash, sheer out when I squat, or (heaven forbid) rip when I bend over. Their durability makes them perfect for both household chores and high-intensity workouts. They’re also warm, making them well-suited for transitioning between seasons. And once your wardrobe fully changes over, the same brand makes compression shorts that are equally comfy. Homma • $19.95 1. Premium Thick High Waist Tummy Compression Slimming Leggings As for the whole compression thing? Once they’re on, I honestly don’t notice anything but how flattering they are when I catch my reflection in the mirror. The 88% Nylon, 12% Spandex blend keeps it tight without feeling, well, too tight. Think of the compression like a gentle hug, or a guardian angel that just wants to bless your curves all day long. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to order another pair.
