We are often asked which of our pant styles are best suited for early pregnancy or the postpartum period. Hujaus pants are so comfortable that almost any of them would work for this purpose, but we’ve selected a few examples here that feature an exceptionally stretchy and soft waist. The most elastic waistbands are found in styles with no elastic band at all, or where the elastic is placed only on the back side of the waistband. Check out the styles below:
Hitti Sweatpants feature a purely ribbed waist, meaning there is no elastic band at all. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more comfortable pair of pants for early pregnancy or the afterbirth period. The soft ribbing is gentle on the stomach and usually works well with C-section scars too. Hittis are made from a soft stretch sweatshirt fabric. Hitti sweatpants are also available in a longer long leg length. Highly recommended!
Rauha Jersey Pants have a soft ribbed waistband with an elastic band on the back side that keeps the pants securely in place without pressing on your stomach. Rauha pants feature wide, full-length legs made from soft jersey material. They are truly soft and comfortable on the belly, generally fit well over a C-section scar during the afterbirth period, and make perfect leisure pants for the future as well.
Helmi Culotte Pants are heavenly comfortable jersey culottes. Helmi pants feature a soft ribbed waistband with an elastic band at the back, ensuring they won't squeeze your stomach or slip down. The soft ribbed waist is generally suitable for use with C-section scars. Made from a soft, stretchy jersey, their culotte length makes them great for year-round wear.
Tatsi sport tights are made from a comfortable activewear fabric. Tempos feature a double-layer waistband with elastic at the back, so the pants stay up comfortably without constricting your stomach. Perfect for workouts as well as free time, making them the ultimate pants for stroller walks. A similar waist structure is also found in Slimmi Biker Shorts.
We hope you found a favorite option among these styles!
