A revolutionary x-shaped back support encourages good posture, resulting in reduced pressure on the pelvic floor, decreased abdominal strain and less stress on the lower back.
Creators of the ‘nursing legging’, Blanqi’s postpartum legging feature a high waist to conceal a post-baby belly with gentle compression to help re-engage your core without any constriction.

So comfy! I’ve bought so many more expensive pregnancy support leggings to end up not wearing them but this pair are the most comfy yet. Firm to get on but once on they are lovely and soft with plenty of stretch. I only wish I purchased them sooner. I’m 31 weeks pregnant and usually a size 8 pre pregnancy and bought a size small & they are a great fit. Natasha
Absolutely love these leggings. They are very good quality, thick and supportive around the waist without being too tight - it has a seamless design so no muffin tops. Looks very slimming also! Will be ordering a few more pairs just to wear on the daily! Cindy
The best maternity dresses
Everyday is an occasion to celebrate pregnancy and what better way to glow than in flowers. Floral maternity dresses are a Floressa speciality and are always lovely to wear to feel stylishly comfortable. They are very popular for baby showers because milestones deserve a memorable outfit.
The obsession with their crossover maxi dress is real - they are elegant and graceful with a romantic silhouette. The crossover panels frame the bump beautifully and make for a very flattering style post-pregnancy too.

Beautiful flowy dress. The material is so soft and luxurious. Worn to a wedding and it was very comfortable. I plan to get the other colours too. Mel
Absolutely in love with this dress! The pictures don't do it justice! It is better quality and so comfy. The best investment!!! Perfect for summer. And so versatile. I plan to dress it up with heels for events, or you could pair it with flat sandals or espadrilles for a more relaxed look. FIVE STARS! :) Isabel

Pregnant with twins and feeling very meh with only a few weeks to go. This chemise (I have in 3 colours) is the best! It's soft and feminine and makes me feel beautiful. Highly recommend for your hospital bag as something to help you feel good about yourself - Eve
Very flattering bathers that are also super comfy. Plenty of room for my growing bump and an added bonus that they are breastfeeding friendly too! Amber

Hugs for your legs!
For some, the extra weight from growing a baby can cause leg cramps, swelling, cankles! and those pesky varicose veins. But there is a way to find relief for pregnant mamas - maternity compression stockings and socks!
These maternity compression stockings are true graduated compression which provide relief from varicose veins during pregnancy. They are designed to provide a controlled amount of pressure greatest at the ankle which gradually decreases towards the top of the stocking. This naturally helps the body promote better circulation.

Best sellers are the open-toed compression socks and the medical grade compression stockings
Customer Reviews
These compression socks have been a game changer for me. I get swelling postpartum, and with my twins it was extreme. I can comfortable wear these 24-7 and they not only help but are comfy and easy to hide under leggings and in shoes while I'm in and out of NICU with bubs - Eve
These socks have been a lifesaver with my swollen ankles!! And I love that they look like regular socks rather than the hideous skin colour socks you can buy from the chemist - Leah

Bought these for my belly support and thigh chafing (the joys of being pregnant during the middle of summer!) and am so pleased with my purchase. They fabrics are really good quality, the design and seams sits just perfectly and postage was very quick. Will definitely recommend! Kerry

The most comfiest and easy to wear legging you'll ever buy! I feel inlove as soon as I put them on. Already looking to buy the fleece leggings! Ivy
Absolutely the best pants for tall women! I'm 6" and to finally a long pant leg length (82cm inseam) that actually means long!! I have trouble finding long enough pants normally let alone maternity. I even wear these to work. The fit is incredibly comfortable and flattering, can't recommend highly enough! Olivia
I love this dress. For summer in Qld it’s my fav of a number of purchases from here. I love the relaxed style for postpartum and very easy feeding access. It was a staple on my recent beach holiday. samantha

Wow! This is THE most comfortable bra! I've just gone back and ordered another one! The fabric is so soft and even though the band is thick and supportive it doesn't cut in at all. Comfortable enough to sleep in. The colour is pretty and light/subtle (I don't like really bright colours that clash with my skin), and the added lace makes it that bit sexy that I actually feel good wearing it. I LOVE that there is separate stitching between each breast section and the pads are shaped to each section (with a wing going upwards) so they stayed put while wearing but also in the wash!! (I hate having to remove pads or adjust them every time I wash my bras). Surprisingly this bra gives me nice cleavage (!!) which I wasn't expecting from a nursing/wirefree bra. Definitely recommend! Mel
I have the recovery shorts and one of the feeding bras and love them. The shorts are like wearing a second skin and they hold my Mum Tum in perfectly. The bra is so easy for feeding. It’s a little go to outfit for those at home days - Emma-May
These shorts arrived while in hospital and my hubby brought them in. They make me feel so supported and confident. The compression draws my attention to my stomach muscles and has helped with focussing on keeping them engaged and drawn in. Looking to get a 2nd pair as I wear them so oftem both as shorts and under dresses and skirts - Kate
