Helping You Enjoy Your Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and a wonderful time in a woman’s life. There is no feeling quite like your little one wriggling around and developing in your belly as you wait to meet them. Pregnancy can also be a difficult time on a physical level and the impact it can have on your body both outside and in is great. Your internal organs and even your bones physically move to create room for your growing foetus, and your ligaments and muscles that support your back and pelvis become looser, meaning you are far more vulnerable to the possibility of back and pelvic floor issues.

Endorsed by The Australian Physiotherapy Association, the SRC Pregnancy Leggings have been specially designed to support and reduce the stress placed upon your pelvis as your baby grows. The gentle medical compression works to improve your muscle tone and stability whilst reducing pelvic and back pain.

With separate anatomical support panels targeted to each area affected by a pregnancy, these leggings are a must-have for expectant mothers.

• Waistband: This is adjustable throughout pregnancy from barely showing to welcoming your beautiful new addition
• Back panel: Providing lower back and sacroiliac joint support
• Lower abdominal panel: Supports and protects your growing tummy as it gets heavier
• Gusset panel: Provides gentle medical compression for the prevention of vulval varicose veins and symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD)
• Leg panel: Through compression, the leg panels encourage healthy blood flow back to the heart and reduces the risk of DVT

Made with Comfort in Mind

Pregnancy is amazing, it can also be very uncomfortable as you grow bigger and bigger – particularly if you are at your largest during the summer months. These leggings are made from breathable and lightweight materials yet are durable and strong. The design of the shorts means they act as a compression garment as well as support wear, ensuring healthy blood flow and reducing the risk of DVT.

Wear after wear and wash after wash this durable garment holds its shape and functionality, meaning you can utilise the shorts for future pregnancies if you decide one isn’t enough of a challenge! Lightweight wicking fabric and breathable power mesh lining eliminate odour, providing maximum air circulation and heat dissipation. This assists with the regulation of your body temperature, without compromising the quality or durability of the fabric, allowing you to be comfortable and dry, keeping you cool even in warmer climates. True Cross Compression means that each layer of fabric is cut on a different plane, so during activity, no compression is lost at any time. The unique fabric stretches and returns to its original shape consistently after wash and wear.

Working closely with leading obstetricians and women’s health physiotherapists, SRC have worked hard to create garments that are not only highly functional but also discreet for wear under regular clothing. This allows you to still be ‘you’ during your pregnancy, whilst getting the physical support your body needs.

Providing All the Support Your Body Needs

Support your baby-carrying pelvis to reduce the stress placed on it and be in the best shape for delivery. Gentle compression improves muscle tone and stability and reduces your pelvic and back pain. Designed to be worn under regular clothes, adjustable and most importantly comfortable, SRC Pregnancy Leggings will assist you in getting through the demands of work and exercise and aid in the reduction of leg swelling, they can be worn from 12 weeks until term.

Alleviate the symptoms of vulvar varicosities

Vulvar varicosities are varicose veins that form at the outer surface of the vulva. This condition most often affects pregnant women, and it occurs due to increase in blood flow to the pelvic region.

When you have varicose veins in your legs, support stockings or compression socks are highly effective in supporting the swollen veins. As such, many physiotherapists and health care professionals now recommend wearing compression support garments to assist in reducing the symptoms of vulvar varicosities. Compression garments help to support the tissue and pelvic floor, thereby reducing enlargement of the veins and preventing discomfort. The SRC Pregnancy Shorts and Leggings allow for “24-hour wearability” due to their gentle compression and, hence, deliver pain and symptom relief around the clock.

We also recommend using the Vagikool Reusable Feminine Cold Pack to alleviate any swelling and discomfort/pain associated with vulvar varicosities.
