Finding The Best Maternity Underwear (2017 Guide & Reviews)

My favorite maternity underwear is definitely these undies by Intimate Portal. The crossover style is a classic for under the bump panties that will not put pressure on the growing belly.

I still like the look and feel of my regular bikinis, so I prefer my pregnancy undies also to look that way. It’s good that it fits below my bump and offers moderate coverage at the rear which is good for a full comfort.

I love wearing cotton-made undies cause you will not feel hot in them which is a plus on the comfort side. As a cotton lover, I know that this means softness and breathability. Plus, it goes green with the eco-friendly method of quality testing.

You would notice that if you become pregnant, you will easily feel hot and uneasy. You need something to keep you cool inside to avoid sweating that could promote bacterial growth. Cotton underwear provides extra softness, a good stretch, allows better circulation, and helps absorb sweat. Giftpocket is made of 95% cotton, 5% Spandex, and 100% cotton on the lining.

The low crossover style rides lower so not to cover your bellies if you like it that way. Some women just don’t want anything touching their bumps. It may be low in the front, but the back has comfortable rear coverage.

It is recommended to buy one or two sizes up as the size runs a bit smaller. This comes in five pieces of random designs and colors. Prices vary in sizes but still easy on the budget. Plus, like Intimate, it’s also eco-friendly to assure a secure and healthy pregnancy. 

The last trimester is the most difficult to handle as you are probably experiencing most of the physical discomforts of pregnancy, due to the increased size and weight of your baby. Some comfort and extra support are all you need this time.

The Anita Maternity brief rides above your bump and stays there while offering a gentle support with a light support band that won’t slip or rolls down. The blend of nylon and elastane is stretchable to adjust to your growing belly and have a good amount of back coverage. Plus, the seamless design is invisible from your maternity dress.

On the downside, the price is a whopping $22 for just one pair, but reasonable enough from the comfort you’ll get later in pregnancy and even during post-partum recovery. It comes in black or white and available in small to extra large sizes.

These medical grade disposable panties are a must-have for your hospital bag. While childbirth is pretty gross at times, you may want to spare your favorite regular underwear and use something that you can just leave behind.

Though the material is thin as expected, it is very stretchy and breathable, and it will effectively hold your pad securely. Plus, the seamless lining avoids any rubbing or irritations.

It says disposable, but you could wash it on a gentle cycle and could still use it post delivery. Some moms noted its comfort after a c-section as it fits above the incision site.

The third trimester of pregnancy is the most exciting, but it can be uncomfortable. And when you are an extra size, you need something that could support your changing body.

Belevation Maternity Underwear grows with your body thus perfect for plus size moms. This stretches a lot to shape your belly and provide support. The high rise band rises above your bump and stays there.

It is very comfortable you won’t stop wearing them after pregnancy. Moms swear to its comfort post delivery. I recommend going down to size with this one as it is very giving and stretching.

However, the price is a little bit higher, but you would not hesitate to pay this much for a piece of underwear that could give you the comfort and support- just all you need.
