SRC Over The Bump Pregnancy Leggings – FAQs
What are the SRC Over The Bump Pregnancy Leggings designed for?
These leggings are clinically developed to support you during pregnancy, helping to relieve discomfort from back pain, pelvic girdle pain (including SIJ and Symphysis Pubis), vulval varicosities, and more. They also help protect your pelvic floor and reduce the risk of pelvic organ prolapse and stress incontinence.
How do the leggings support my pelvic floor?
SRC’s patented triple-layer compression gusset provides targeted support to the pelvic area, helping to reduce pressure on pelvic floor muscles and promote better postural alignment. This can reduce the risk of issues such as stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
What makes these leggings different from regular maternity leggings?
Unlike standard leggings, SRC Pregnancy Leggings are medical-grade and evidence-based. They’re designed with multi-directional compression fabric that offers real therapeutic support — not just stretch. They’re also breathable, moisture-wicking, and comfortable for all-day wear.
Can I wear these leggings every day?
Yes! The leggings are safe and comfortable for everyday use — whether you're relaxing, working, or on the move. The fabric is soft, flexible, and designed to move with your body without restricting circulation.
Are the leggings safe to wear in all stages of pregnancy?
Yes. They are designed to be worn from the first trimester right through to full term, and many women continue to wear them postnatally for support during recovery.
Will they help with varicose veins or vulval swelling?
Yes. The gentle compression may help improve circulation and reduce swelling, pressure and discomfort caused by vulval varicosities and varicose veins in the upper thigh.
What size should I choose?
Sizing is based on your pre-pregnancy measurements to ensure accurate compression. Always refer to the SRC sizing chart before ordering and watch the film — it’s important to get the right fit for optimal support.
Can I wash the leggings in the machine?
Yes, SRC Leggings are machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and line dry. Avoid tumble drying or using fabric softeners to preserve the compression quality.
Can I wear these postpartum?
The special SRC support panels in pregnancy leggings are not suitable for postpartum wear - you need support and compression in other areas after delivery. That's why you'll find Postpartum, and Recovery in the SRC Range. We're not just about compression, this is specialist support for your body.
Are they visible under clothing?
No — the design is discreet and streamlined, so you can wear them under dresses, tunics or trousers without bulk.
