Are these suitable for early postpartum?
Yes. The Retorno Leggings are designed for the postpartum stage.

I had a c-section. Will the waistband sit on my scar?
The Retorno waistband sits high, well above the navel, which means for most women it clears the c-section scar line entirely. That said, how a high-rise garment feels in early recovery varies from person to person. If you are still healing, we recommend checking with your midwife or physio before wearing a high-waisted style.

Are they squat-proof and opaque?
Yes. The double-layer nylon knit construction means these are fully opaque, at rest and in movement. The fabric does not thin out under stretch.

Will the waistband roll down during a workout?
No. The high-rise waistband is built with anti-roll construction and stays flat through walking, yoga, and gym sessions. This is one of the main design details of this legging and it holds up in practice.

How does the fit feel if my body is still changing?
The four-way stretch and strong elastane content mean the legging adapts well to a body in flux. They do not feel restrictive, but they do hold their shape, so they will feel consistent wash to wash.

Can I wear these for yoga and running as well as everyday walks?
Yes. The moisture-wicking fabric handles a yoga class or a brisk walk equally well, and the full-length fit works for both.

How do they wash?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry, as heat degrades the elastane over time and affects the shape recovery of the knit. Hang or lay flat to dry. They come out of the wash holding their shape and colour well.
