Why do SRC Maternity Tights/Leggings Work so Well?
The gentle compression promotes supporting pressure to the pelvis and stimulates the underlying muscles to remain active to assist in making the pelvic joints more stable. The reinforced gusset design (patent pending) allows maximum support to the perineum reducing symptoms of vulval varicosities and incontinence. The graduated compression in the leggings places pressure on the veins to reduce blood pooling and therefore the aching symptoms of varicose veins and swollen leg. Please note that the pregnancy leggings are suitable for mild varicose veins of the leg (see notes above).
How Maternity Support Stockings can Help?
Reducing pregnancy related lower back pain:
- Pelvic Instability and Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)
- mild Varicose veins (see notes below)
- Vulval varicosities
- Reduce symptoms of incontinence
- Women with mobility and stability issues
- Women wanting to continue working and/or exercising during pregnancy
- Graduated compression during air travel
Please note: SRC Pregnancy leggings have a gentle level of graduated compression in the legs. These are suitable for women with mild varicose veins or swelling. This product will not provide enough compression to moderate or severe varicose veins of the legs. Women often complain that wearing a grade 2 or 3 compression stocking for long periods can be difficult due to they becoming hot and tight. The SRC legging was designed with a specific level of compression so that women can wear their compression stockings under the SRC legging for a number of hours during the day. Once the compression stockings have been removed the SRC legging will continue to provide mild graduated compression so the benefit of having worn the stockings is not lost.
In addition to our versatile women’s compression leggings we also provide SRC Pregnancy Compression Shorts
SRC Pregnancy Shorts & Leggings Find Your Size
For best results get someone other than yourself to take a number of measurements as sizing is critical to the performance of the garment.
Please use the chart below to determine your perfect fit for all SRC Women’s garments.
Measure in your underwear only. Stand with your heels together and keep the measuring tape straight. Place the tape over your hips, pubic bone and bottom at the fullest part. The tape should touch your body at all points but not be pulled tight.
We advise you measure and order your SRC Recovery Shorts during the 36th week of pregnancy as your hip measurement may change during early to mid-pregnancy. If you already have had your baby you can measure at any time.
Should you find that you are in between sizes or just into the next size we recommend that you choose the smaller size because of fluid loss post-delivery.
