why the periodic elements?
We believe confidence and comfort should never be defined by a number. Our sizing is inspired by the periodic table instead of traditional labels, to remove the stigma around sizing and create a more inclusive, empowering experience.
step 2
measure your hips
Your jeans size and compression size can differ, so a quick measure is the easiest way to get it right.

hot tips for finding your fit
pregnancy
designed to grow with you
They may feel snug at first, but the belly panel and flexible seams stretch with you through to full term.
Between sizes and 20 weeks or more (or popped early!)? Size up.
Compression can feel a little different to what you're used to. They should feel snug and supportive (firmer than your usual activewear), but never restrictive or uncomfortable.

firm to pull on, secure once on
Your hips can change during pregnancy, so always go by your current measurements rather than your pre-pregnancy size.
Between sizes? We recommend sizing up.
Our targeted abdominal compression means they can feel quite firm as you pull them over your thighs and hips. Don't be afraid to stretch the waistband! Once they're in place, they should feel snug, secure and supportive, never restrictive or uncomfortable.

A note from our osteopaths
Dr Daniela Aiello
Osteopath & co-founder
Dr Ash Sankey
Osteopath & co-founder
After treating thousands of pregnant and postpartum women, our co-founders Dan and Ash knew exactly what mums needed through their motherhood journey: real support for their body.
We wanted to extend our care beyond the treatment room. So we set out to create compression wear with real purpose, designed to support your body through pregnancy and postpartum. But the fabric also had to be buttery soft, never slippery and super flattering, so you look and feel great while you're being supported.Dan & Ash
