Belly Bandit's ActiveSupport Helps Before, During & After Pregnancy

— April 3, 2019 — Life-Stages
Belly Bandit recently launched a new line of maternity athleisure called ActiveSupport, which promises to support women before, during and after pregnancy. The collection of athleisure-inspired maternity wear includes leggings, tank tops, capris and even a nursing sports bra. These pieces of apparel feature high-performance features like supportive panels, moisture-wicking fabric and panels for nursing to support both active and everyday life.

The Essential Leggings & Capris, Essential Sports Tank and the Power Leggings & Capris are made in the USA from eco-friendly fabrics that are bluesign certified.

In the same way that women love the way athleisure styles can seamlessly take them from the gym to other activities, Belly Bandit co-founder Lori Caden remarks that "We realize that moms-to-be want products they can wear from the gym to the grocery store."
