SRC Pregnancy Shorts and Leggings are an effective, non-pharmacological option for prevention and management of pain during pregnancy and are endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association and Australian College of Midwives.
Our studies show ~82% of women who wore SRC Pregnancy Shorts or Leggings experienced [1] a reduction in their discomfort.
Stylish, functional maternity shorts and comfortable maternity leggings
SRC Pregnancy Leggings & Shorts were designed by women for women in consultation with a Melbourne Obstetrician Grant Saffer. Like all of our pregnancy garments, the pregnancy leggings and shorts deliver targeted compression ideal for treating multiple conditions such as low back and pelvic girdle pain, vulval and mild/moderate leg varicose veins. While there are many maternity shorts & leggings on the market, SRC maternity shorts and SRC pregnancy leggings are unique in every way from design, materials used and construction, to product longevity.
Like all SRC compression garments, SRC maternity shorts and leggings feature Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) which were developed and patented by SRC Health to deliver targeted compression, ideal for treating multiple conditions during pregnancy and after delivery, as well as enhancing athletic performance or post-surgery recovery.
True Cross Compression (TCC) is another SRC Health innovation that ensures that during activity or movement, no compression delivered by the garment is lost at any time. This is achieved by having each layer of fabric being cut on a different plane so that the unique fabric stretches and returns to its original shape consistently after wash and wear.
Pregnancy leggings and shorts have been shown to ease pelvic pain, and lower back pain
The SRC pregnancy leggings were subjected to a 100-wash test in which they retained their original size and shape when compared to the competitor pregnancy leggings which shrunk significantly. SRC pregnancy leggings also retained the same level of compression at the conclusion of testing whilst competitor pregnancy leggings lost some level of compression.
The SRC pregnancy leggings will help support your “baby-carrying” pelvis to reduce the stress placed on it so you can be in the best shape for delivery. Gentle compression improves muscle tone and stability and reduces your pelvic and back pain. Designed to be worn under regular clothes, adjustable and most importantly comfortable, pregnancy leggings will assist you in getting through the demands of work and exercise and aid in the reduction of leg swelling. Maternity leggings & shorts can be worn from 12 weeks, or when you start showing until term and many customers will use them for multiple pregnancies.
You have the choice of either Under The Bump or Over The Bump pregnancy leggings and unlike many of the brands out there, they don’t have branding splashed across the legs, making them suitable for everything from going to work and wearing them under a skirt, dress or as you would normal leggings as well making them part of your casual wardrobe or going to the gym and being safe in the knowledge that your pregnancy leggings are squat proof 😉
