Ugh - my LOFT leggings are getting a bit snug - Destination Maternity has maternity leggings buy one get one 1/2 off (or at least had last week - hopefully the sale is still on today because I NEED leggings).
Yikes! Right now I'm just wearing plain black ones from Target. Workout ones actually and they've been great but the band goes right across my belly. I need coverage!

I'm happy with the ones I bought at destination maternity. They have some expensive ones that are thicker, but I bought the cheaper ones and am very happy with them.
I have some I got on sale at Old Navy for $11 (I think they were on for $15 last week). They are thick cotton-blend ones SUPER comfy! Be sure to buy the "full panel" maternity ones, they go right over your bump in the front, but aren't super high in the back. Their "low front" maternity ones are not good; I bought one of those by accident and they are NOT comfortable (they basically just sit below your bump, so they feel like they are falling down all day long.)
I also have maternity tights from Thyme maternity that are super comfy too. They give your bump a bit of support to lighten the load a bit!

Pea in a pod leggings- so comfortable and on sale in Macys or Destination Maternity right now. I found the destination maternity leggings to be a bit itchy...
I NEED ALL OF THESE. i swore i would live in leggings to save money because my newb-mind thought leggings were a sure-fire fit all through pregnancy. until i put some on the other day and they cut across my belly in such an uncomfortable and unflattering way that i looked like i had a double-decker bump under my dress.

I have these, too! My friend who gave birth in August said she still wears hers bc they are that comfy.
I have some full-panel leggings from Motherhood that are ok. They're not very thick, and I notice if I kneel down they're a little see-through at the knees. But it's not like you can see my underwear through them. (Plus I always wear long tops) My philosophy is that since I want to wear leggings every single day, I plan on getting lots of pairs and I'll probably wear them out. So I'm just buying whatever's cheap.
The ones I got from old navy are very thin and see through. I hate them. I'm still living in my lululemon wunder unders and I just fold the waistband down in the front.
I love my old navy leggings but they are the athletic ones. Don't know if there is a difference with their leggings. Hate the motherhood leggings they were soft but you thin
I bought this gray pair from Destination Maternity, they are Jessica Simpson leggings. So far I really like them! I'm starting to show, enough that I don't fill out the full-cover maternity pants (I'm having to pull the stretchy coverall part back up a couple inches) but I can't sit with even my lower rise jeans buttoned, but the coverall seems like it will have enough room for a while.
Besides the front pockets being fake (same way with my JS skinny jeans from the same website, damnit!), the leggings are super comfy and I see myself living in them for the next few months.
ETA to add link to exact pair purchased.

I got some from target in Black Friday that are bematernity. Same as the beband. They are thin and sorta tights like. But they get the job done and are full pane. I can fold them over and get more use out of them. They have full length and cropped. I'd like them thicker. Maybe I'll check out destination mat and gap.
I know I already posted about old navy, but I also have some zulily ones...have to look up what brand. They aren't as comfy as the old navy ones, but they are just a tiny bit thicker fabric.

I ordered a pair of ON ones, just to see. If they suck I'll order Gap or something. Thanks ladies!
