A guide to the best maternity gym leggings

Having looked everywhere on the internet for the best maternity gym leggings, the Adidas Maternity 7/8 Yoga Leggings come up again and again as one of the most sought-after pairs out there. Available in a muted shade of 'wonder orchid' (which we love) or plain old black, they're a reasonably priced pair for such a big brand name.

Going fast at Myprotein, the MP Women's Power Maternity Leggings are the ultimate budget maternity gym leggings that don't fall short on quality, either.

Well, you'll be pleased to know they have those too.

Customer review: "So so comfy, I bought these so I could have them ready for when I needed them, ended up wearing them way earlier than originally planned as they were so much comfier than the ones I was in. Great quality as always."

Fabletics do some of the most highly recommended gym leggings out there, so it's no surprise that their maternity leggings are also the best around. The Fabletics PureLuxe High-Waisted Maternity 7/8 Leggings come in an amazing inclusive range of sizes, are made from the softest most buttery fabric EVER and have pockets. A no-brainer, tbh.

Customer review: "Perfect maternity leggings, these are so comfortable! The stretch is great and has meant I have been able to wear these through all stages of pregnancy. Some other brands' maternity clothes were too big at the start of the second trimester but I had outgrown normal clothes. Not so for these Fabletics leggings. Love that they put the pockets in these as well."

Now on offer, the PUMA Maternity Studio 7/8 Training Leggings Women are the best value maternity gym leggings on the high street atm. Made from recycled materials with dryCELL moisture-wicking technology and a supportive high waistband, we just had to include these. They also come in an unreal 'dark jasper' shade, which are a bit more 'spenny but look oh-so stylish.

Customer review: "I love these, I tried ordering a few other brands, and these are definitely the winner! Not see-through and really nice quality material. Also, really love the side pocket. Fit me perfectly as well. If you’re wondering on spending the extra money on these, they are definitely worth it."

We just LOVE these MP Women's Maternity Leggings from Myprotein with their flattering fit and cute, stylish design.
