Vitality Must Have’s - Pregnancy Edition
Since getting pregnant with Dallas, I get questions on the daily from other soon-to-be mamas looking for recommendations on the best Vitality pieces to invest in for pregnancy. So, I figured the blog would be the best spot to outline all my thoughts and recommendations so you all can refer back to this whenever you might be pregnant yourself! Let’s get into it….
The Cloud II Maternity Pant
After being pregnant for a bit… I became very passionate about creating the BEST maternity legging on the market. I sit here today confidently saying we hands down made this dream come to fruition! I wore this pant almost every day during the last half of my pregnancy because they offer the most comfort AND support. Here’s WHY our maternity pant is the best and offers features that other maternity pants don’t! The front waist seam curves below the belly so you won’t have any digging AND there is a back suspension system that provides lower back support (which is a life saver as the belly starts to really grow). We also made the opening around the ankles seamless, so if you deal with any swelling there won’t be any discomfort from the pants! Outside of the incredible technology and design aspects, these pants are also just the most comfy clothing item you will have during pregnancy. The Cloud II fabric is buttery soft and holds you in without being super compressive. I also love that you can wear these to workout OR dress them up for a night out or everyday wear. They seriously will be the pant you grab for every single day of your pregnancy!!
Sizing Recommendation: I sized up to a small for my pregnancy! This allowed me to continue wearing them as my bump grew!
The Cloud II Pant
We all know that we loooooove ourselves some Cloud II pants. If you want something that you can continue wearing postpartum, I would recommend snagging some! It is made of the same buttery soft fabric as the maternity pant, it just will be a lower rise and won’t have all the maternity specific design aspects! I really loved wearing the Cloud II pants for my workouts during pregnancy because they stay in place but would not put too much pressure on my bump! We also have wayyyy more color options in the regular Cloud II pant, so you don’t have to wear the same pant every single day lol.
Sizing Recommendation: I sized up to a small in the Cloud II pant as well! I could wear my normal size (XS) until I was about 4-5 months pregnant, then they got a bit tight.
The Daydream Pant
One of the things we wanted to create was a fabric that was like Cloud II but extremely light weight. That’s were Daydream fabric enters the chat. The Daydream Pant is another amazing piece for pregnancy because it is an extremely light weight and stretchy fabric!! Again, these are not maternity pants but they are still great for pregnancy! During my pregnancy we only had the v-cross waistband option (see below) for Daydream pants, but we now have a flat waistband available as well that will offer a bit more coverage on the belly! If you want a pant that will be the least compressive on the belly it’s this one!
Sizing Recommendation: I actually was able to stick with my normal size XS for the Daydream Pants because they are soooo stretchy. But if they start to feel too compressive you can definitely size up as your belly gets bigger!
Bras, Tanks and Tops
Many of the amazing tops we have now weren’t launched when I was pregs. But I wish we had them because they are PERFECT for zee bump. One option is the Energy Tees and Tanks. These are both full length options because depending on your comfortability while pregnant, some women don’t love to wear just sports bras! Another great option is our Versa Tee and Slouch Tee.
As far as bras and tanks that offer support, here are my recs. The Cloud II and Daydream tops are definitely our most comfortable options during pregnancy since they are a soft fabric and not super compressive! If you are looking for more compression or support though, I would go with the Ascend II Racer Bra/Tank! And if you’re looking for a super comfy everyday bra option you will LOVE our new Form Bra and Form X Bra (more coverage)!!!
Sizing Recommendations: I sized up to a small for all bras and tops during my pregnancy!
The last items would have to be the Cloud Jumpsuits and Jumper!! They are hands down the most versatile piece we offer that is perfect for pregnancy. Comfy, can dress up or dress down, and you just feel so well put together when wearing one! Size up so you can comfortably wear it as your bump grows!!
That’s everything! I hope this helps you get a better idea of what pieces will work best for pregnancy! Can’t wait to see you all rocking these pieces with your cute lil bumps!!
XOXO, TAY
