Are these suitable for postpartum?
Yes. The Florecer Leggings are designed for the postpartum stage.
I had a c-section. Will the waistband be comfortable?
The waistband sits high, above the navel, so for most women it clears the scar line entirely. That said, it is a firm, fixed waistband with no fold-down option. If you are still in the early weeks of c-section recovery and sensitive around the midsection, the Calma Wide-Leg Trousers with their fold-over waistband may be more comfortable at that stage.
Is this a compression legging?
No. The brushed nylon knit is close-fitting and supportive but it does not compress. It holds the shape of your body rather than grips it. If you are looking for light abdominal compression, the Retorno Postpartum Leggings offer more structure through the waistband.
What does the flare look like on?
The flare is subtle to moderate, opening from the knee into a clean bell at the ankle. It reads as a fashion-forward everyday legging rather than a statement flare trouser. The leg-side four-stitch technique gives the seam a clean, sharp line that makes the flare look intentional rather than sporty.
What can I wear these for? Are they gym-appropriate?
These are not designed as a high-performance gym legging. They are made for yoga, walking, and daily wear where you want to feel active and put-together at the same time. For higher-intensity movement the Retorno Postpartum Leggings are the better fit.
How do they wash?
Gentle hand wash or machine wash cold at 30°C. Do not tumble dry as heat affects the brushed finish and elastane over time. Hang or lay flat to dry. They come out of the wash holding their softness and shape well.
