‘Fit for Purpose’ Design
Designed in consultation with an obstetrician, the whole SRC range of compression products uses Anatomical Support Panels (ASP). Developed and patented by SRC Health, ASP delivers targeted compression, ideal for treating multiple conditions during pregnancy and after delivery, as well as enhancing athletic performance.
Anatomical Support Panels in the SRC Pregnancy Leggings deliver targeted compression to assist with treating multiple conditions such as low back and pelvic girdle pain, vulval and mild/moderate leg varicose veins.
Designed to be worn under regular clothes if you wish, adjustable and most importantly comfortable, SRC Pregnancy Leggings and Shorts will assist you in getting through the demands of work and exercise and aid in the reduction of leg swelling. These maternity leggings can be worn from 12 weeks, until late term.
Unlike mainstream compression products, let alone your everyday maternity leggings, leisurewear or activewear garments, SRC Pregnancy Leggings have been specifically developed for this purpose of supporting your baby carrying pelvis. Exclusively manufactured for SRC, our fabric is independently tested to provide you with the highest quality with maximum support and comfort including features like moisture wicking.
We took the SRC fabric and that of a leading competitor through 100 wash cycles and then re-tested both using the fabric extension test. The results showed that the compression properties of our fabric, unlike those of the competition were sustained. After 50 washes, the results showed that the competitor fabric had not only shrunk significantly but was less resistant in the stretch. The SRC fabric had minimum shrinkage and retained its stretch resistance under higher force. The shrinkage of both fabrics stabilized after 100 wash cycles, but only the SRC fabric retained the same high level of compression at the end of the testing. You won’t get that from your $20 cotton pair of ‘everyday maternity leggings’.

Gentle medical-grade compression avoids muscle deactivation and allows for SRC Recovery garments to be worn day and night, delivering 24-hour wearability and pain relief. But that’s not all.
The research and development of the fabric for the SRC Compression range took an extended period, as the designers wanted to create a fabric that provided support and comfort without any feeling of restriction. This resulted in a unique fabric that stretches and returns to its original shape after consistent wash and wears. True Cross Compression means that each layer of fabric is cut on a different plane so that during activity no compression is lost at any time. And of course the SRC Pregnancy Leggings and Shorts are not see-through, so there’s no need to stress when bending over at the office or squatting at the gym.
SRC is committed to maintaining the highest quality standards for all products. Each batch of fabric is rigorously tested by an independent Australian Government scientific testing facility to ensure the level of compression meets our strict standards.
The best testing of all has been performed by the 100,000+ mums who have worn and benefitted from our products during the last 10 years.
