Where to get maternity panty hose?

Bran_ham · April 2011

Or do you need to use maternity panty hose? I'd like to wear some with a dress on Easter. I'd be going for a nude color if that makes any difference. I would imagine the ones at Motherhood might be more pricey. Can I get them at Walgreens, Kohls, JCP?

I got mine at A Pea in a Pod. I don't think they were too expensive - maybe $15 and they're really good quality and comfortable.

Had to deal with this 2 weeks ago, after going to 2 maternity stores and not finding the size/color I needed (and wasn't willing to pay $20), I opted for thigh highs...super cheap on Saturday morning at JCP, not much more than price of regular pantyhose...wish I'd been wearing them all along!

I got mine at Motherhood Maternity and they have lasted without any snags or tears. I was also told that you can buy a size up from your normal size in regular hose but when I tried that I found it to be uncomfortable around my midsection.

I have a pair from Motherhood also, I don't think they were very expensive. You definitely need to do maternity hose, I can't imagine trying to get nonmaternity hose over my belly - OUCH!

although I do love the idea of thigh highs!

I got mine at motherhood Maternity and they were about 6 - 7 dollars.

I'm not sure if it's an old wives tale or not but I've heard that wearing thigh and knee high hose during pregnancy can cause varicose veins due to circulation issues. Every women in my family has terrible varicose veins so I'm super paranoid about anything I hear COULD cause them, so take that with a grain of salt.

I had maternity tights from Motherhood that I thought were pretty good quality.

At this point I'd just go for thigh highs. Anything tight around my abdomen is a no-go!

If your nervous about varicose veins I would definatly get compression socks. I got them for when I flew over to England 3 weeks ago. My doctor suggested them and said that these socks are for diabetics and people who are one their feet all day. On the package it says for people who have problems with varicose veins - I dont but the pressure actually helps prevent them not cause them.

Also I got mine panty hose at Motherhood there were pretty reasonable at like $6-8 bucks. I havent seen maternity hosery anywhere besides a maternity store and believe me I looked.

Ditto PPs. I got a pair at Motherhood for about $6, and they fit well. I don't know that I'd want to wear them all day, but they work. Also, putting on nylons SUCK when you're not pregnant - I was huffing & puffing putting them on the other day, haha.
