10 Best Maternity Underwear 2024 | UK Wardrobe Concierge Reviewed

These super-comfortable knickers wrap around your tummy nicely and they look great too – in fact, they're probably the most similar to your non-maternity underwear! They come in a multi-pack of black, nude and grey, which means you have a pair to go under any type of clothing from white dresses to black jeans. 

While they have a regular bikini cut, it's the waistband that stands out: the folding mechanism allows you to wear them whichever way you like, either below or over the bump. Made from pure cotton and elastane, they're ultra soft and give you the perfect light-but-effective support you need throughout pregnancy. A winning pick! 

These briefs don't sit too high over your belly like some other high-cut over-bump undies, so they provide the support you need without feeling too bulky or hot – perfect for the summer months or anyone feeling hotter than usual during pregnancy. 

If you're a regular Calvin wearer or you simply want to invest in a good brand, this is the right pick because they're not only stylish but excellent quality too. They strike a comfortable middle ground between the above-bump and below-bump styles, smoothly blending them in a way that gives you the benefits of both in a single item.

Made of 95% cotton, these knickers are super breathable so they'll help to prevent discomfort when you're feeling overheated. The 100% cotton lining in the gusset area will also ensure you're comfy, and, regardless of which cute colour you pick, it's light in colour to help you keep an eye on any unusual discharge. 

Also, the V-shape curves at the front nicely so that they sit comfortably under the bump, which lets you move around without any annoying edges or elastic digging in. A perfect mix of comfort and style, these colourful low-rise undies enhance your cheeky bottom shape too!

These briefs are predominantly composed of polyamide, so they'll withstand wear and maintain their construction wash after wash. Long-lasting and tough, this is not a pair you'll be forced to dispose of in a hurry! Comfort-wise, there's a cotton gusset for breathability, as well as ribbed fabric panels at the rear to ease aches in the lower back. 

They also have extra stretchy leg openings and light built-in under-bump support that will stretch as your body changes and your bump grows – just the support you need throughout your pregnancy. 

This product comes in black, lotus purple and magnesium yellow with a tagless design on the front, which means there are no pestering tags on the inside to itch or irritate your skin. The material is nice and light with really great elasticity – so light that you almost forget you're wearing underwear! 

The fabric has got enough stretch to cover your bump well and is cut as such that they'll be a great fit for the curvy mamas out there! They're also available in a good range of sizes, from 10-20. 

It's always great to know that the clothing you're buying isn't just comfortable for you, but also kind to the environment as well. Lindex's underwear range is made from organic and recycled fabrics, so this is a win-win for eco-conscious shoppers!

Since your personal comfort doesn't have to come at the expense of the planet, this product includes some synthetic fibres that are safe for you and have undergone a production process that isn't highly toxic or chemically saturated. In a pretty pink shade with a lace trim and a seamless construction, these are a great option if you're after something both comfy and cute. 

This very comfortable and pretty pair are perfect for any mum whose priority is underwear that does not hurt her belly. They sit below the belly line snugly and are not constricting, fitting nicely under the bump without pressure. The material itself is very soft, the style is great and they come in a variety of cute colours, too.

If you're looking for something that is fashionable, soft, durable and will last for a long period of time, these are ideal. On the downside, the bum coverage isn't as generous as it could be, though that is somewhat compensated for with its stretchy 13% elastane.

This pack of five is something you're going to want to continue wearing even after pregnancy due to how extremely soft and comfortable they are! They have a flattering cross-over design that many women love, and a white cotton gusset to help you keep an eye on any spotting or discharge. 

While many of the other undies have waistbands that go all the way around, these ones do not – the band is only on the front section, with the back featuring just a rolled-over seam which might show off a little rough under clothes. However, this means that the waistband does not dig in at all, adding to their supreme comfort. 

Since 1886, the Anita brand has specialised in designing women's underwear, consistently delivering impeccable quality over the decades. And with this piece, they maintain that long-standing reputation of giving you an undergarment that you can trust to support you through your maternity months.

If you're on the lookout for something as non-restrictive as possible, this is the perfect pick for you as the material is fully seamless. This is not only more comfortable, but it means no pesky VPLs! To note, these knickers are quite light and therefore may not give you the degree of bump and back support you require during the later stages of pregnancy. 

Since your pregnancy is only a temporary phase, you might also prefer temporary undies to use and throw away. This is a great option for convenience and better hygiene as the disposable element eliminates incidences of accumulated bacteria.

Secondly, they are versatile and can be used not only during pregnancy but also pre and post pregnancy as hospital or sanitary pants, helping to avoid any spotting and bloodstains affecting your usual knickers. However, although they're useful, the throwaway element is a bit wasteful and they're not particularly supportive.
