Pretty underthings for pregnancy

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Dressing a bump is difficult enough without struggling to find decent underwear. The right underpinning can smooth, slim and support your changing body throughout your pregnancy and beyond… without an over-elasticated nerdy knickers in sight! Here are three tried and tested all-rounders to add to your wardrobe right now:

The fashion find

If grey granny pants ain’t yo’ thang, take your behind to Topshop and raid their collection of sexy matching sets in fun colours. This fabulous bra features super-soft jersey cups and a clip bra strap fastening. Three please!

That sexy something…

Hotmilk’s vision is to change maternity and nursing lingerie the world over “by revealing the sexy woman inside the loving mother.” Their Sinfully Sweet Seductress French Knickers (€13) are stretchy yet sexy and feature a rouched gathering at the back to enhance and sculpt your shape. Genius.
