lululemon

Any second time moms have advice on buying lulu lemons to wear through pregnancy? Their site says that though they don't make a maternity line, the clothes are designed to "stretch with you & your growing belly". Before I go and spend $100 a pair on these pants, I just wanted to know if anyone has personal testimony, either good or bad, about the wearability of these pants for the duration of your pregnancy?

Re: lululemon

  • Yes they do stretch and they also sit low so they go underneath your growing belly. I have a couple pairs of them and wore them until month 8 or so, then have worn them out of the hospital both times.

    They are crazy expensive, but i wear them all of the time. Some of my other work out clothes have been cheaper but they don't wear as well (color fades, loses the spandex, etc). I did just buy a pair of capri black yoga pants from the Gap though since they were $25.

    I think they are worth it, but they are expensive. I have had my first pair of lululemons since 2008 and they are still in great shape. I am also 5'10 with very long legs and they make them in extra longs which is hard to find.

  • Thanks!! I already have a few pairs, but I was looking at getting something a little more relaxed to wear to prenatal yoga. Did you buy the Groove pants? (original fit). The ones I have are higher waisted (worn with a crop top/sports bra) so those ones are already no good, too uncomfortable on my waist!

  • What kind of pants did you get. I have the wunder unders, but I those things were super tight before. It would probably take me 5 minutes to put those pants on! Any recommendations on the different styles during pregnancy? I love, love, love their stuff.

  • I have several pairs of the Groove pants (LOVE Lululemon) and just bought a pair in a size up so that they will be comfortable as I grow.  They fit pretty much the same in the butt, but have a bit of extra fabric in the front.  I think I will love that as I get a bigger belly, but for now it's kind of annoying and I am sticking to my old pairs.
  • My cousin swears by Lulu and she wears them all the time - pregnancy or not.  I have two pairs that I plan on wearing as I grow - one is the groove and the other is a running pant - and I'll probably get a couple more items too.  Their stuff is great and super comfy. Expensive but worth it, I think.  I found my running pants on 'sale' - check out their sale racks first when you hit the store - they are still expensive when on 'sale' but better than full price!

  • Thanks ladies : ) I ended up getting a pair of the studio pants, which I was hesitant to try but the girl there said they were comfy and much to my surprise, amazingly flattering. I didn't go with the Groove pant again, I opted for 2 pairs of the Astro pane. I like the 'v' style waist on them and they roll down as well. The material at the waist is softer then on the groove. I also noticed more of difference between size 4 and size 6 in the Astro, I felt like I could stick with my true size (4) and still grow into them where as the waist on the Groove was too stiff to be comfortable either way! No sale rack today : ( but it'll be worth the comfort (and keep me out of maternity wear for awhile longer!)
