Lululemon
4.5
(35)
"They are pricey but they are the most comfortable leggings you’ll find that you’ll get the most use out of."
"Align does not fall down at all"
"My Lululemon aligns - both leggings and shorts - have held up fabulously. The waistband hasn’t dug into me at all."
"They are so comfortable and yet supportive. I’m about to buy another pair."
"They are so much more comfy around the waist and don't squish it at all."
"Lulu align, soft and don’t cut in"
"Lululemon align tights are absolutely perfect for this. They’re not compressive at all and are so soft."
"100% Lululemon Align is the solution."
"Lululemon Aligns. The super high rise are my favourites."
"Came here to recommend the Aligns too."

CRZ Yoga
4.0
(13)
"CRZ is so great. It’s on Amazon (ugh) but they’re the best imo. I like them more than lululemon."
"I second CRZ brand. I have their leggings x3, flared x2, shorts x3 and dresses x4. it's literally all I wear. the most comfortable, buttery soft material."
"Love CRZ. Have multiple leggings and the workout tops with built in bra. I wear these all multiple times a wk to workout and wash them every wk … I find they hold up really well for the price tag!"
"I second CRZ. Bought them at the beginning of second trimester and still wearing them at week 36."
"I love my CRZ from Amazon and also a brand called Poshdiva!"
"Honestly I’d go with CRZ!! Beyond yoga maternity leggings are comfy for lounging but not working out."
"CRZ is pretty good!"
"I usually wear Lululemon but didn’t want to spend a ton on bigger leggings so I went with CRZ. They’re very similar, I have no complaints."
"I saw a lady who was much more pregnant than me at the farmers market and she was wearing these incredible leggings....CRZ Amazon lol"
"If you want something cheaper the crz yoga are the closest dupe I've found."

Oner Active
4.6
(8)
"Oner has incredible quality leggings that are sooo flattering on the glutes."
"Other scrunch I've tried is so obvious and it makes me self conscious. With these it's really subtle and they're very flattering."
"I bought a pair of effortless leggings a few months ago to see if they were worth the hype and now I’ve sold all of my gymshark stuff/replaced it with oner lol."
"The Oner effortless leggings are truly worth the hype. I’m a personal trainer and live in the damn things haha."
"I second the oner active effortless! such a stretchy, buttery-soft material and the scrunch is much more subtle than other brands like DFYNE for example . so comfy:)"
"Oner Active honestly has some great leggings regardless of the hate Krissy gets. I recommend Effortless if you’re looking for scrunch or Unified for a normal seam that contours."
"Both have great quality and comfortable."
"I have Effortless and Unified leggings, and Unified were disappointed and wanted to slide right off me."

"Gymshark. They have a range of leggings. Pause and Everyday Seamless are the most comfortable leggings I have ever owned."
"Gymshark any of the seamless range"
"Gym shark make very good quality leggings."
"Gymshark! Wait until their promotions (I think they have them 2-3 times a year?)"
"I also don’t rate Gymshark."
#6
LSKD
4.8
(4)
"LSKD elixir and size up. I wear these for Pilates as they don’t cut in anywhere and feel like you’re not wearing anything."
"I find the LSKD Fusion to be the best material in terms of the lightest compression that doesn't feel like it's tucking into your skin but has the soft support feel."
"LSKD fusion or elixir"
"I love LSKD elixir tights. The elixir have been fantastic."

Poshdiva

"No falling down, great thickness. Not too expensive, I don’t plan on wearing them after pregnancy."
"POSHDIVAH maternity over the belly legging. They provide a lot of compression but that’s what I like. They stay put and feel supportive in the gym and hiking."
"Poshdiva are amazing. I am really really picky about leggings and if they fall down I write them off immediately. Poshdiva stay up and are thick and seem to be holding up well."
