Maternity sweatpants with a stretchy elastic belly inserter, side seam pockets, and an elasticated drawstring waistband. Designed to grow with your bump.
Comfortable maternity sweatpants with a stretchy elastic belly inserter that grows with you, plus pockets set into the side seams for everyday wear.
An elasticated waistband finished with a drawstring cord lets you fine-tune the fit throughout your pregnancy.
We recommend a dense knitwear with lycra — two-thread French terry is perfect. For warmer pants, use a denser knitwear such as three-thread French terry or fleece.
If you choose a warmer main fabric like fleece, use rib-knit or two-thread French terry with lycra for the waistband, in a matching color. The fabric should be dense, stretch well, and then restore its shape.
