What kind of pregnant life do you need?

Your pregnancy. Your choice. Your active life. Your emama shorts.

Go to pilates in the morning without worrying about overheating in the summer. Spend half a day with friends over chai lattes and look good doing it. Get fancy, go out & wear emama shorts under your dress to be comfortable.

And do it all knowing that your growing belly, your thighs and your back have the best support possible. 

-Designed to look amazing every day.

-Made to support you and bub throughout your pregnancy and beyond.

-Engineered to perform anywhere. Anytime.

Pick Your Size

Pick your size based on your pre-pregnancy size.

The emama shorts are made to compress, stretch and grow during early and late pregnancy. This means that our shorts are designed to change with you as your body changes and expands as your bump gets bigger. With post pregnancy also in mind the emama shorts will also support your recovery as our shape retention fabric will keep their shape ensuring a comfortable fit without the added pressure from the mid-section allowing the shorts to be the perfect transition piece as you take your time getting back into your regular shorts.

You can also wear the waistband up high for belly coverage while breastfeeding, or roll the band down over your hips.The sizing guide can be found here, if you have any questions about sizing and pregnancy please send us your question on our contact us page here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the shorts safe for pregnancy?

Yes! All our materials are certified Standard 100 by OEK-TEX, meaning they are perfectly safe for the body. The compression is designed to support and not squeeze - with more than enough stretch to accomodate your growing body safely.

 What is the material like?

We use a high density stretchy fabric that feels smooth to touch and soft on the skin with a matte finish.

Do they get a lot of fluff and hairs stuck on them?

No! We spent 12 gruelling months designing these leggings and making sure they stayed soft and smooth and clean was not negotiable!
