Finding a reliable pair of maternity leggings — and then stocking up on them — is a must for many moms-to-be. A good pair of maternity leggings will grow with you as you progress through the trimesters without putting too much pressure on your belly. However, as summer approaches, you may want to consider a shorter option. And What to Expect moms are big fans of Lululemon Align High-Rise Shortwhich is essentially a bike short version of the famous Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant.
These high-rise shorts normally cost $68, but right now, you can get yourself a pair for as low as $24. Made with the brand’s famous buttery-smooth lightweight Nulu fabric, these shorts are designed to offer a “next-to-nothing feeling,” according to Lululemon. Each pair has light compression, which many pregnant women find supports their bump without being too tight.
“Highly recommend the Lululemon Align shorts. I live with me. Comfy on my bump, and not ‘maternity,’” wrote a What to Expect user.
Several other What to Expect community moms agreed that they couldn’t get rid of the Align Shorts:
“I live in align super high rise shorts. I went up a size, and they’re still super comfortable at 31 weeks.”
“Get the align shorts too! I got pregnant that summer and lived with them.”
“I just bought a pair because many mothers recommended them on forums. They are amazing. I love the Align joggers too! And honestly I want to wear nothing but Align shorts right now.”
While many moms recommend going up a size in Lululemon biker shorts, others are fine with keeping their regular size. In fact, some already have them on hand and have been able to wear them before, during and after pregnancy.
“Lululemon Align 8” biker shorts, expensive but VERY comfortable. I actually had them pre preggo belly and they fit very nicely. They expanded a lot. I just got my usual size and they fit perfectly,” a mother said.
Having a pair of maternity biker shorts on hand is not only great for finding comfort when it’s hot outside, but also for working out while pregnant, whether for yoga, walking, running, strength training or cycling And what’s great about Lululemon’s shorts is that they’re moisture-wicking, so you can get your heart rate up without getting your pants soaked in sweat.
One thing you’ll want to keep in mind if you plan to buy Align shorts is that they come with three inseam options; 6- 8- and 10-inch.
If you want to take advantage of this Lululemon shorts special and get your hands on a pair of Align shorts, keep in mind that the price may vary depending on the style and color. You’ll also notice that some colors are available in limited sizes. Finally, since these shorts are on final sale, you cannot return them once you have purchased them. But, if the rave reviews from What to Expect moms and moms-to-be are any indication, you don’t have to worry about that!
