    Why Emamaco Postpartum bottoms?
    We solve these problems for our customers
    Problem: painful, unflattering, not made for postpartum
    Solution: made for post partum, flattering and holds you together

    Voted one of the best post partum products of the year by Mum Central, read on to find out why this Pregnancy Recovery Legging is raved about by thousands of Australian Mums.

    Your body doesn’t instantly “bounce back” after birth — and your activewear shouldn’t expect it to.

    Our Postpartum Recovery Shorts are designed specifically for post-baby bodies, with ultra high-waisted medically inspired compression that smooths, supports and helps hold you together comfortably while your body recovers.


    The shorts style perfectly as:
    - under dress wear so you know you are supported
    - workwear when black attire is required
    - every day shorts paired with a loose crop and jumper
    - gym shorts paired with an emamaco nursing crop top or sports bra

    Your body doesn’t instantly “bounce back” after birth — and your activewear shouldn’t expect it to.

    Our Postpartum Recovery Shorts are designed specifically for post-baby bodies, with ultra high-waisted medically inspired compression that smooths, supports and helps hold you together comfortably while your body recovers.

    Just support, confidence and a fit that actually feels made for postpartum life.

    Made from buttery-soft sculpting fabric with supportive stretch, these recovery shorts are designed for:

    • warm weather walks
    • lounging at home
    • light workouts

    About Emamaco Recovery Leggings

    Designed from the ground up to support and shape Post Natal.
    Introducing the Emamaco Pregnancy Recovery Leggings and Shorts.

    Made to complement the Emama Maternity Leggings. Our Maternity Leggings are made to be worn throughout pregnancy and also immediately after. When you need that extra support and compression you can switch to these Pregnancy Recovery Emama Leggings (usually straight away when you get home from hospital).

    Please consult your medical professional regarding your compression requirements for post pregnancy recovery. They will be able to advise you on the timing and suitability of wearing recovery clothing including the emamaco pregnancy recovery tights.

    Extra high and extra supportive the pregnancy recovery leggings pull you in provide back support as well as abdominal support.

    No Front Seam = No Camel TOE

    No annoying front seams and stitching down the crotch means you get better comfort AND no camel toe

    Custom Developed by Emamaco for our beautiful customers

    4 Panel Support System

    With in-built Mesh we have 4 support panels around the tummy to provide back and ab support and the help with ab separation through compression.

    The extra layer of mesh provides breathable support and compression through the abdominal region.

    Stitching for Post Natal Recovery

    We only use flat lock stitching because it is strong and does not cause skin irritation. This is especially important for Post natal recovery if you have c-section scars.

    The waist seam is lower to provide all of the support required for postpartum 

    Materials and Fabrics

    Made from the emamaco Supaflex fabrics used across our maternity range, the leggings are smooth, super soft, breathable and fit like a second skin.

    Material is a custom Nylon and Elastane blend

    please note some sizes have our updated emamaco logo at the back - note shown in picture new photos coming soon
    The new logo is just as small and unobtrusive as the old.

    Size Guide

    The size chart for Recovery is different to Maternity & all other emamaco leggings.

    Sizing is based on your Hip Measurement if you are currently 35v weeks plus.
    To measure your hips you just measure around the widest part of your butt (not your bump!) like in this photo:

    Blue measuring tape used for hip measurement in Pregnancy Recovery Size Guide.

    Please note our size chart is a guide and everyone and everybody shape is different  if you need help with sizing always reach out to our customer service team for help.

    If you are postpartum:

    We recommend to choose based on your waist and hip measurement.

    If you find on the size chart that your waist measurement is under a larger size category than your hip measurement then we recommend to go with the waist measurement. For example if your waist is 80cm and your hip is 102cm then we recommend to go with size medium.

    If your hip measurement is on the larger size category compared to your waist measurement on the size chart then we recommend to go by the hip measurement. For example if your hip is 100cm and your waist is 73cm then we would recommend to go with size XS 

    Please note our sizing chart is a guide and everyone is different. If you have any questions about sizing please get in touch through the contact us page here.

    Please pick your size based on your hip measurement if 35 weeks plus pregnant and  based on your waist and hip measurement if postpartum in the chart below, please note everyone will always fit into 2 sizes well. If you want a less tight fit you can usually size up.
    Note - do not size down as these are a compression garment and quite tight!

    Sizing applies for all Pregnancy Recovery Leggings and Shorts.
