Best Maternity Activewear of 2026

"I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant, 5'3" and 162lbs, and the size S fits me perfectly. These leggings provide the right amount of gentle compression without being restrictive. The material is comfortable and stretchy, and even though they're slightly looser than typical athletic leggings, I love how they fit over my belly. I especially appreciate that they don’t have pockets—that’s my personal preference."

"As a first-time mom in my 6th month, I waited to buy maternity leggings until my regular ones stopped fitting. A friend recommended these, and I’m so glad I tried them. The quality is excellent, they look great, and they’re super comfortable. I stuck with my usual XL size and they fit beautifully. These leggings are definitely a bit pricier, but they’re so worth it for any maternity wardrobe."

"The fabric is incredibly soft and the over-the-belly fit stays in place, making these leggings perfect for daily wear or workouts. I wear them constantly because they’re so comfy and stretchy, but just a heads up—they’re a bit on the thin side and don’t have pockets, so I mostly use them as a base layer or at home."

"I'm extremely picky about pants, but these are now my absolute favorite! They're incredibly comfortable, stylish, and soft, plus the stretchy fabric gives me plenty of room to grow through my third trimester. I wear them for work and leisure, and they never feel like they're slipping down. Highly versatile and worth every penny!"

"Being almost 5'10", it's hard to find maternity pants that fit right, but these are perfect! I ordered a tall large and the length and fit are spot on.

"I wear these almost every day—they've been with me from week 15 to 31 and still look new! Super comfy, stretchy, and not too long for my 5'3" frame. They really do grow with you throughout pregnancy. Can't recommend them enough!"

“I absolutely love these CRZ YOGA Butterluxe Maternity Flare Leggings!

Plus, the pockets are perfect for my phone or keys on the go. I highly recommend these leggings for their comfort and style!”

“Currently, at 33 weeks pregnant, I can say these are among the comfiest maternity pants I’ve ever worn! They have a super buttery feel, hugging my body without being constricting.

“I got a large size as recommended, and they fit great at 8 months pregnant. I'm currently 180 pounds, and these leggings have a medium thickness that isn’t see-through. They are very soft, and I’m hoping they’ll fit well postpartum as well!”

"I’ve tried a lot of maternity leggings but these are by far my favorite. The fabric is incredibly soft and the fit stays true to my pre-pregnancy size with plenty of stretch for my bump.

"As my pregnancy progressed, I found even my pricier maternity leggings started to feel tight and itchy, but this jumpsuit has been a lifesaver.

It’s become my favorite piece, and I’ll continue wearing it postpartum!"

I was impressed by the combination of comfort, stretch, and professional look—a rare find for maternity pants, especially labeled as yoga pants.

These pants turned out to be an absolute lifesaver—the material is incredibly soft and stretchy, and I love that the waistband can be pulled over my belly or folded down. The pockets are a must-have for me, and honestly, I've worn them for days in a row just for the comfort. If you're pregnant and need something cozy yet stylish, I highly recommend these pants."

"I initially ordered my usual XL size but found them way too big—I could have fit another person with me! I'm glad the material is super soft and the legs truly wide, and I love the roomy pockets (though anything you put in them is obvious). I'm exchanging for a smaller size and plan to buy all the colors. These are finally maternity pants that fit comfortably without squeezing my belly."

"These pants are amazingly comfortable and stretchy, making them perfect for my third trimester. The soft fabric and wide legs make them easy to wear, even as my belly keeps growing. The only thing is, with my long legs, they're almost too short, so if you're taller and want to wear them out, keep that in mind. Otherwise, they're my go-to for lounging around the house!"
