I, 31 years old, no flight attendant, no grandma, now have a compression tights. How it came about and why I feel like a lucky bear since then, you can read here:
For a few weeks (in reality, it may be months) I do not fit in my clothes anymore. That's okay, I'm pregnant. Rumor has it, that goes with it. Only I had initially convinced that the growing tummy of my wardrobe can not harm. I would stretch my pants with a rubber, finally fill out my baggy clothes completely and otherwise just run into my friend's closet. Well, how can I say it, nothing came of it. In fact, sack dresses only look good when they dangle informally on the body. With belly: tons of alarm! So I rescheduled. Looked closely at my new silhouette, fraternized with her and went shopping. A tight (!) Knit dress with a turtleneck and a black pencil skirt made of buttery soft jersey have been my favorite pieces ever since. Comfortable, surprisingly feminine and uncomplicated.
But - just with tights!
But they are such a thing with me. I am a so-called pantyhose mimosa. Either slip, pinch, push or annoy with stupid shine. So when Isa asked me if I wanted to test the new ITEM m6 Mama Tights, I hoped she could do more than the usual suspects.
Under the following aspects I have looked at the panties so:
Is she more than practical? For just under 60 euros, I expect a bit of glamor. If already underwear with function, then it may please in no case look after it!
What can the tights do for me? To make my life easier, it should already be in there ...
Will she annoy me? A pantyhose neurotic wants to be converted.
Let's go:
Glam factor
Let's be honest, a pregnancy is not very glamorous. Compression tights are not really. So I had expected thick flesh-colored cloth tubes. Instead, there's sexy lingerie at ITEM m6. I like.
The Mama Tights are available in two DEN variants, 30 and 50, which means they are never completely opaque, which shines through some skin and is in line with the trend. On the belly a big red heart embroidery perches, which I first silly, but then also found very sweet - these hormones! Unfortunately, I have now conjured up a terrible catchy tune from my childhood - the theme song of the Glückbärchis. These hormones ...
Can factor
I've learned: Compression stockings during pregnancy are important when the body is no longer able to compress the vessels. For example, if the blood volume increases and the veins work for two and the blood can not circulate properly. Often it then comes to varicose veins, heavy legs or water retention. In order to prevent this, compression stockings specifically exert pressure, reduce the size of the vessels and stimulate blood transport. This means: Tired legs get better again, the day easier and the pregnancy has a stupid concomitant less. Yeah.
Although I had no problem with my legs (Fingers crossed), the tights are a carrying little dream. Everything is held together, the back is supported, the butt is pushed up nicely and the ball is packed well. By the way, the material on the belly is different than the legs. It is stretchable, of course, without compression effect and grows comfortably from the 5th month.
Nerve factor
Believe me, as an old tights muffle I was looking for mistakes. And yes, maybe it's a bit hard to put on. But hey, compression = tight, that's the deal. But once they sit, they sit. No trace of tightness, no squeaking, no slipping and the cuff over the stomach does not cause a stomach ache. Even after the Airobic shine, I searched in vain.
My conclusion
The Mama Tights are the all-round carefree package against moderation and heavy legs. I am confident and wear it almost daily. Only around wooden benches I make a big bow from now on. Against running mats, even these super tights are not immune.
