High Waist Tummy Compression Control Slimming Leggings

here is my very comprehensive, glowing review for these leggings. i love them. bought these end of 2023 after my 2nd was born. now that im due soon with my third, i had to come back to review these. these are simply the BEST postpartum compression leggings i could find. i had purchased the regular and capri length in small on a whim after my first baby was born in early 2021. there werent many reviews at the time, and i didnt have any other postpartum leggings to compare them too. little did i know at the time, i started off with the best ones. i was a bit bigger and more stretched out postpartum with my second in late 2023 and needed a size large. this is when i bought a few other brands to compare... why these are the best: the compression is ACTUALLY where I need it. i am short (5'2") with a long torso and short legs (soft gamine body type). but I make heavy and long babies for my height thanks to my 6'4" husband, so my stomach area gets really stretched out compared to most women. maybe others don't have this issue, but I found with other leggings brands, even high-waisted ones SPECIFICALLY marketed for postpartum, that the compression starts way too high up, like past my belly button. idk about you, but my uterus is much lower than that, even a few days post-birth as it starts shrinking fairly quickly, so what ends up happening in the compression is all up in my ribs, above the uterus, and it actually forces my pooch down and to stick out MORE especially when sitting, which you do a lot of after birth. anyways, these leggings start the compression where I need it, right around hipbones and up. far below the belly button and actually over where we need it. the compression isnt painfully tight either. so what this does for me is puts comfortable pressure on not only my uterus area, but also helps hold your looser shrinking hip ligaments in place and any lovehandles. yes, a belly band/binder would do the trick to lower the compression area, but it's nice to have leggings with the correct placement for sleeping/going out of the house when you dont always want to wear a binder. on top of that, these wash well and do not seem to be see-through. i wash separately in a mesh bag as a precaution, but i dont think it's absolutely necessary. i wouldnt exercise in them or call them specifically squat proof, but i do feel comfortable wearing them out of the house even with a shorter shirt. im sure these do eventually pill, especially if youre a non-thigh-gap girlie postpartum like me lol but i havent had any issues with that yet and still have my two pairs from 2021. once i lose most of the blood volume and fluid retention weight (which ALL goes to my thighs during pregnancy), i am able to wear the smaller sizes within a few weeks. even tho they are over 5 years old at this point. please never change how you make these. they are perfect

So, I’m here to write the review that I was looking for when making this purchase lol. For reference I am 5’ 5” and weigh 145lb; I’m also 7 weeks postpartum w/my 3rd baby! I really like these leggings! The compression isn’t going to suck you ALL the way in but it is still good and the smoothing of my belly/love handles is great IMO. The leg compression is PERFECT! They make my thighs look wonderful and accentuate my booty! The leggings are not see through at all which I’m thankful for as well. Take into account that I’m a bit short waisted, but I personally like how high waisted these are—coming up well above my navel. The material is thick but not overly so and seems to be fairly durable. They look like ”nice” leggings as opposed to “athletic” style leggings. (For instance, I wore them to church with a chunky sweater & boots.) Over all I would definitely recommend these leggings, especially for the price! Can’t beat it! They’re comfortable and have given me back some confidence while being postpartum. I’ve also attached pictures so that you can see what I mean by good compression, great smoothing. I hope this review & the pics help you make your decision! Happy shopping!

Mom approved 👍 I am 8 weeks post partum , had a c section and my tummy is taking longer to shrink back how it was. That being said I have a portruding tummy that still looks pregnant and it kind of jiggles when I try to exercise. I bought these compression leggings to help keep the jiggly parts in place as well as provide some stiff support for my abdomen. These leggings do the trick, they hold the abdomen nice and tight and supported, no more jiggling and they come all the way up to my bra, so no weird muffin top. They are a thick material , not see through , pretty soft. Well worth the money. Going to buy another pair. I am 5'3 and 150 pounds. I ordered a medium and it's just right. Now granted its alittle bit of work to get these on because they are compression, but once on, they feel fine. They have not rolled down or anything.

I was surprised at how good the compression is - very supportive for postpartum healing and slimming to boot. I had purchased a belly band but I prefer wearing these leggings instead, ordered a couple more pairs. I really appreciate that these leggings are actually long enough for me (I'm 5'9" with long legs) and the waist is nice and high, hits at the ribcage, leaves you feeling nice and covered, snug and tucked in. The material is a bit strange in that it's very light but also manages to feel thick somehow. The black leggings are nice and dark and don't attract lint, which is a plus. Sadly they do not pass the bend-over test according to my husband, but that's okay with me as I'll be wearing them as a base layer or with long shirts/tunics.

These leggings are great! The compression on top Is just enough. I had a Csection and couldn’t wear these until about 2 weeks postpartum, maybe I could’ve in a larger size, but until the swelling in my legs subsided these weren’t a good fit. However, once I was able to put them on they provided a great amount of support for my postpartum belly. If you’ve had a Csection you know that as your belly gets smaller it can overhang somewhat and aggravate the incision site. These leggings help avoid that. You do need to be careful to pull them up just enough so the area where the compression ends does not sit directly over the incision site. I wear these instead of a postpartum belt as they are more comfortable. They are not see through. A nice thick material throughout. They are also not too tight. Great choice for moms!

As others said, the top to mid-thigh is heavy compression and there is a significant difference when that ends down to the rest of the leg. For me, I sized up based on the sizing chart and it still was uncomfortable around my butt and the line of the end of the heavy compression was very visible. I really did want some compression that would support my lower belly not just like my waist area, but the way this ends mid thigh definitely won't work for me. Otherwise if you have the body type that they will fit well, they actually feel really high quality and nice, I wish I could keep them.

I have loved these leggings for years. I have purchased them for three sisters and a friend. I have purchased three different sizes as I lost baby weight. I have purchased leggings for the winter and capris for the summer. To say I was a fan is an understatement. Today, I bought capris in my next lowest size and I am so disappointed and will not buy them again. I already own this size in leggings, so the issue is not a new size. They seem to be a different material or be made differently. The flat tightening part doesn’t go as far down on my stomach as it used to, rendering them basically useless when it starts at almost my belly button and goes up. The part most women need help with is that little pouch in the lower belly. In addition, the top is not as thick and tight as it used to be and it rolls down endlessly now. All my other pairs never ever rolled. I am so disappointed. My postpartum body after having multiples has a lot of flappy skin and I wore these with so much confidence as it helped mask so much. Consider looking elsewhere as you navigate your post partum body until they return these back to what they used to be. Utter disappointment. They have absolutely lost my business and I will no longer be buying them as gifts for others too. I am 5’3” wearing size medium running somewhere around 155 right now. I like them tight so I have been wearing a medium. These are a softer material and just don’t have the thick flattening like they used to and the flattening starts way too high now.

I literally own five pairs of these and have bought a pair for every single one of my friends post-baby. They’d work great even if you haven’t had a baby! These things flatten and suck it all in yet somehow remain comfortable. Don’t be afraid when you start pulling them on and have to scrunch them, jump around, lie down, wiggle, not breathe, etc. because as soon as they are on, they are immediately comfy! They are very durable; mine have been through two babies ages 3 and 3mo. They are thick but not hot, so no showing off the lady parts! You can wear them in summer or winter. I even wore them months after losing the baby weight as they’re just that awesome. I like the black the best. Be advised that they do have a large band to suck you in, so if you wear them with a crop top or tshirt, the band will show. It’s not super obvious, but the band does look a bit different as it runs from high waist down to the hips. You need at least two pairs of these! I’m 5’6” and 135lbs post baby. Right after baby with baby 1 I was 175lbs and with baby 2 was 156lbs. I bought a size medium and am usually a small. I’d size up one size.
