Review of Maternity Shapewear
Your body changes dramatically and quickly when you’re pregnant. And sometimes this can affect your confidence, especially when you’ve got a special event coming up. Some quality shapewear designed especially for maternity can give you a more flattering silhouette and also offer you a little extra support. If you usually wear a support belt but don’t want the bulk of the belt to show when you’re wearing dresses, shapewear can give you the support you’re looking for.
Today, we take a look at some of the most popular maternity shapewear on the market and welcome our fabulous guest reviewer, Joann Wagner.

Review by Joann Wagner
I had a wedding to go to when I was eight months pregnant and had bought a gorgeous dress. But it just didn’t feel right. I had been wearing a support belt but it wasn’t going to work under the fitted dress. Then I found this shapewear. It pulled everything in nicely and gave me back a little support that I was missing from the belt.
Looking and feeling like a goddess in your maternity dresses can be a challenge. But the good people over at Belevation Maternity Fashions have designed a range of maternity shapewear that enhances both style and comfort.
The long boy-short style underwear holds your thighs apart and prevents chafing while the waistband stretches gently over the belly and gives you a flattering silhouette while offering full support to your pregnant belly.
The manufacturers advise buying shapewear in your pre-pregnancy size, and, if you already had a generous figure before becoming pregnant, you can buy your maternity shapewear plus size, the range goes right from U.S size 0 to 26.
I think this is the best maternity shapewear for anyone who wants to prevent chafing and feel comfortable while still looking amazing for a night out (or a day in) in a fabulous maternity dress. It gets a full five-star rating from me!

Does this shape wear feel tight to wear? Does it get itchy? Do you wear panties underneath? And most importantly is it easy to pull down when you need to go to the bathroom?
Hi Carla,
Thank you so much for your excellent questions. Because this shapewear is designed especially for the pregnant body, it should not feel tight or uncomfortable. It is designed to be breathable, too, so it shouldn’t become itchy when you’re wearing it. And, yes (thank goodness!), it is easy to roll down when you need to go to the bathroom. Hope this helps you to make a decision. If you do decide to buy the shapewear, we’d love to hear your opinions and experiences of it.

This shapewear is beyond amazing! I wore it with a body-con dress recently. I had been nervous about wearing something so form-fitting and flaunting my belly but the dress was a total hit! I really think this shapewear gave me the confidence boost I needed! Thanks for the recommendation!
