Is the ideal, cost effective garment for supporting me in the third trimester with pelvic ligament pain. Tight in all the right places. Thick and supportive. Wearing constantly under skirts and dresses. Tight enough that it will also be worn post partum for recovery. Highly recommend.
I purchased these to give me some support while wearing dresses and skirts, and am so happy with them. They are smoothing over my love handles and also help to stop my thighs rubbing together in the heat. I have the nude and the black. Pre-pregnancy I was a 10-12, and purchased a Medium in these and they fit great. I am 23 weeks pregnant and will be able to wear these the rest of my pregnancy in this hot and humid summer. They are so comfortable, supportive but not too tight (you don't get to the end of the day and want to rip them off).
Pre-pregnancy I often wore shapewear under my corporate work skirts, so I am used to feeling 'held in' and 'smoothed out', so I was pleasantly surprised with the Ripe Maternity shapewear, they are so soft and comfortable to wear, supportive but not so much that you feel you are being restricted. They hold in place, with no sagging, rolling, or weird belly windows at the front. I would highly recommend and will be buying more!
These are the most comfortable shapewear shorts I’ve ever bought. I ordered an XL probably a bit big ( very generous sizing) but will be great for my growing belly. They don’t dig in or roll down. I’ll be purchasing the nude and another black pair in a smaller size so I can wear all summer long.
