The Yunoga leggings are Collin’s fave, but here’s what one expectant mom had to say about them:

I bought these after hearing they are nearly identical to the Align leggings which are $100. I sized up to a Medium as I am currently 7+ months pregnant and intended on just wearing them later as postpartum leggings. I tried them on just for fun and they fit SO well, even with my large bump without feeling like my belly is being choked like my maternity jeans. They are still supportive though so could be worn while pregnant or after and are SUPER soft/smooth and flattering! For reference, I’m 5’3 and currently 155 lb at 30 weeks pregnant. They are 7/8 length so not too long on me for once! 10/10 reonlinemend!!

LOVED these overalls! The lady who I saw wearing them in person they came up a little higher but these came all the way to my ankles -awkward length for me, personally. I was 4 months pregnant while wearing it. I ordered it again in khaki at 8 months pregnant and I can’t wait to try it on!


If you’re on the fence about this, get it! I was worried that this wouldn’t look good on my body type (pear shape, loves pizza), but it’s cute as a dang button. I’m even 16 weeks pregnant, and I think the bump is just making it cuter. I’m 5’9 was a size 12 pre-pregnancy, and I got an XL. It’s perfectly flowy and cute cute cute!!!
