DESCRIPTION
By the time the bump starts to feel heavy, most maternity underwear just gets out of the way. The High-Waist Maternity Brief does a bit more than that. The over the bump panel holds from above, taking the downward pull off your lower back and hips so you can get through the day without thinking about it. The 360° stretch panel moves and grows with you through mid and late pregnancy without rolling down or digging in. A dual layer antibacterial gusset keeps things fresh through the longer days. Full coverage seat, smooth nylon, nine colours. Steady and quiet, the way good underwear should be.
SIZING & FIT
Size to your pre-pregnancy size. The high-stretch nylon panel grows with your bump through mid and late pregnancy without needing to size up as you progress.
The waistband is a ribbed high-stretch elastic. It hugs firmly without feeling constricting, and the fabric has strong recovery so it holds its shape wash after wash without bagging or distorting. The leg hems are precision-stitched to lie flat against the thigh with no roll-up and no digging in. The back cut is full-coverage, wider than a standard brief and built to stay put.
If you are between sizes, go up. The high-stretch fabric comfortably accommodates a body larger than the measurements suggest.
MATERIALS & CARE
The fabric is a smooth, fine-textured nylon and elastane blend that moves without bunching and recovers quickly after washing. It sits close to the body through a full day of wear and is breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps with the warmth and sensitivity that tends to build in the later months.
Composition: 90% Nylon, 10% Elastane. Gusset: dual-layer antibacterial construction.
Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry. The dye is colour-stable and holds through extended soaking without bleeding. Wash with similar colours on the first wash.
FAQs
Will the waistband sit over my bump or below it?
Over it. The high-waist panel is cut to wrap above the bump and hold it from above, which takes some of the downward pull off your lower back and hips. If you prefer under-bump support, The Bump Support Short lifts from below and some women wear both depending on the day.
Does the waistband dig in or feel tight across the bump?
The waistband is a ribbed high-stretch elastic that sits at the waist rather than across the widest point of the bump, so the pressure is minimal. If you are unsure, size up.
What does the antibacterial gusset actually do?
The gusset is a dual-layer antibacterial construction. Hormonal changes in pregnancy can make the body more sensitive and prone to irritation, and a standard single-layer gusset does less to manage moisture and freshness through a full day of wear. The dual layer adds a buffer that helps with both.
