Why Should Pregnant Women Choose Maternity Underwear

The role of maternity underwear

In the first three months of pregnancy, the body shape of the pregnant mother has not changed significantly, so it is enough to wear ordinary underwear. After three months, most pregnant women's appetites have improved, their food intake has increased, their weight has increased, and their stomachs have gradually grown. At this time, you should change your underwear, don't let the underwear tightly restrain the abdomen and hinder the baby's development.

Compared with ordinary underwear, maternity underwear is not only different in size, but also pays attention to the choice of fabric. The texture is generally a comfortable pure natural fabric, which reduces friction and brings a comfortable touch to pregnant women.

In addition, some adjustments have been made in the design of maternity underwear. The most common is to increase the function of supporting the abdomen, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of low back pain caused by the load of the abdomen during pregnancy, and can also keep warm.

During pregnancy, because the belly is bulging and the belly is slowly stretched, it is often felt that the belly is itchy, and the vaginal secretions of pregnant women increase, so in this extraordinary period, you should choose the one with good air permeability, strong water absorption, soft touch and warmth. Pure cotton underwear is non-irritating to the skin and will not cause rashes and pruritus. The bottom of the pants is made of antibacterial and anti-odor material, which can also reduce the hygiene troubles of pregnant women.

Pregnant women's underwear should be purchased according to the changes in the abdominal circumference and hip circumference during pregnancy: you can also buy button-type underwear that can adjust the waist circumference, which can be applied to the whole pregnancy. As for the style, it is mostly high waist and mid waist. However, more and more fashionable expectant mothers also prefer to choose low-waisted underwear or even thongs specially designed for pregnant women in order to match the fashionable clothes. At this time, they must pay more attention to maintaining hygiene.

The difference between maternity underwear and ordinary underwear

Maternity underwear is basically a high waist design. Because a woman's uterus will become larger with the growth of pregnancy, and the blood vessels are oppressed by the uterus, more and more mothers will have obvious lower extremity edema in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. The abdomen plays the role of wrapping, does not fall, keeps warm, and the fetus is not easily frightened. Ordinary underwear is generally designed with a low waist.

2. Abdominal support design

Maternity underwear basically has the function of supporting the abdomen. First, it plays an important role in supporting the abdomen; second, it prevents excessive stretching of the abdominal skin, which helps to reduce stretch marks; third, it reduces waist pain. Ordinary underwear has no abdominal support design.

3. Adjustable waist

The adjustable waistline of maternity underwear is to reserve space for growth and development of the baby, and at the same time, there will be no streaks on the mother's belly. Generally, ordinary underwear is in a fixed shape and cannot be adjusted.

4. Breathable and comfortable

The underwear worn by pregnant women is the clothing closest to the baby, so the material of the underwear for pregnant women is pure cotton or more natural and pure texture, which is breathable and soft. Ordinary underwear is made of different materials and various types, and some ordinary underwear is not very breathable and comfortable.
