These are the times when you don’t know if it is a Monday or a Thursday, if it’s day or night, “have I brushed my teeth today?”, “what am I going to wear?”… I know, been there, done that. Let’s check one of those things off your list, shall we?
I’m here to share with you one of the things that got me through the new baby stage much more comfortably. Read up for the best postpartum leggings I’ve found!
First of all, congratulations on your new baby! I’m sure you’re overjoyed, over-emotional, over-tired… phooof, the newborn stage is one to remember, for sure! But what is not so easy to remember is how to make yourself FEEL anything like what you used to. And what you wear is a big part of it.

I remember having my first (and second) baby and struggling with the changes in my routine. Suddenly, I needed comfort more than anything but also wanted to feel stylish in some way, shape, or form.
I’ve been a leggings-crazy person for yeeeeears now. But, sadly, none of my old pairs fit “right’ in my postpartum days. So, I researched and researched, bought a bunch of fails, and finally discovered the ones that I judged as the BEST.
The BEST postpartum leggings from Amazon – and why they are so amazing!
Leggings for daily outtings: Colorfulkoala Women’s High Waisted Yoga Pants 7/8 Length Leggings with Pockets
With over 30 (!) different colors/patterns, these are by far my favorite leggings for daily outings, such as grocery shopping, little walks, running errands, visiting the in-laws.
They hold everything in place, are suuuuuper comfortable, and the best part: pockets! Perfect size to keep my phone, keys, and even my wallet, so that I could leave the diaper bag in the bottom of the stroller without having to reach for it every second.
Leggings for lounging at home: Homma Premium Thick High Waist Tummy Compression Slimming Leggings
I would LIVE in these while I was at home. And honestly, you can definitely wear them out too! I prefer these at home because they were just a tad more “flexible” than the first ones, perfect to lounge around with my new baby.
I love that they are high-waisted (almost all the way to the breasts) and secured my still wobbly baby tummy in place. Plus, super affordable, less than $20 a pair! Score!
“Dressy” Leggings: BLACK Premium Quality Jeggings
These jeggings were a gem to find! I looooove them! Use it to this day.
A few things to note: double-check the size you order. There are some discrepancies with the sizes in the reviews on Amazon. I, personally, did not have that problem, but I did measure myself before ordering.
They turned out to be a perfect fit, have lasted for years with constant use, and are super beautiful! Not to mention: less than $15 a pair? Double score!
EXTRA FIND: the high waisted shorts I use every single day: ODODOS Women’s High Waist Bike Shorts with Pockets
These shorts…. you guys… I can’t even begin to describe how amazing they are. I own 6 pairs in different colors and it’s pretty much everything I use in my day-to-day life when it’s super warm outside. They come in different lengths (5″/2.5″/9″) to suit your needs as well.
They are comfortable, beautiful, keep everything in place, and have pockets! It’s everything I ever wanted in a pair of shorts. I don’t know what I did with my life before I owned these!
Comfort and style is what it’s at!
The postpartum days can be rough. I hope this helps bring you a little bit of comfort while still feeling like your clothes compliment you!
Be nice to yourself, to your body, and all the work it has done for you. And most importantly: enjoy your new baby! These days go by way too fast, so savor every minute of it!
