Maternity Underwear Australia - Comfortable Pregnancy Underwear for Every Trimester
Comfortable, well-fitting underwear is one of the unsung heroes of pregnancy. As your body changes through each trimester, the right maternity underwear moves with you, providing support without restriction. At Peekaboo Baby, our maternity underwear range is designed for expecting mothers across all stages of pregnancy and the postpartum period. Browse alongside our full maternity clothing range and maternity pants for a complete wardrobe. Our nursing bras transition seamlessly from pregnancy to breastfeeding, and our maternity bras offer the support you need before baby arrives.
Good maternity underwear should feel like a natural extension of your body - supportive without digging in, soft against sensitive skin, and able to accommodate a growing belly. We stock a range of styles from over-the-bump briefs for full support, to under-the-bump options for the earlier stages and postpartum recovery. All items are made from soft, breathable fabrics that are gentle on pregnancy-sensitive skin. Finding the right fit during pregnancy makes a real difference to daily comfort and confidence. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in maternity underwear
- Fabric softness - Pregnancy skin can be sensitive. Choose maternity underwear in soft, breathable cotton or bamboo blends.
- Over vs under bump - Over-the-bump styles provide full belly support and are ideal from mid-pregnancy. Under-the-bump options suit early pregnancy and postpartum.
- Waistband comfort - Avoid tight elastic waistbands that dig into a growing belly. Look for soft, wide bands that sit comfortably.
- Size range - Your body will change significantly through pregnancy. Choose brands with a generous size range and check the size guide before purchasing.
- Postpartum wear - Some maternity underwear doubles as postpartum recovery underwear, offering gentle support after birth.
- Care instructions - Machine-washable maternity underwear is essential for the frequency of washing required during pregnancy and the newborn stage.
Complete your maternity wardrobe with our maternity bras, maternity pants, and full maternity clothing range. Our nursing bras are also worth exploring early as many styles work through the later stages of pregnancy.
Maternity Underwear - Frequently Asked Questions
Many women switch to maternity underwear from around 12-16 weeks as their body begins to change shape. However, some women find it comfortable to switch earlier, especially if regular underwear starts to feel tight or uncomfortable. Under-the-bump styles can be worn from the first trimester.
Over-the-bump maternity underwear has a panel that extends up over the belly, providing full support and warmth. Under-the-bump styles sit below the belly, like regular briefs but with a more flexible waistband. Over-the-bump is popular from mid-pregnancy, while under-the-bump suits early pregnancy and postpartum.
Most pregnant women find 7-10 pairs sufficient for everyday use without doing daily washing. Having a range of over and under-the-bump styles gives flexibility as your body changes through different trimesters.
Yes! Many maternity underwear styles are excellent for postpartum use. High-waisted, soft styles provide gentle support around a healing abdomen after vaginal or caesarean birth. Many mothers find maternity underwear more comfortable than regular underwear in the early postpartum weeks.
Soft cotton and bamboo blends are the most popular choices for maternity underwear. They are breathable, gentle on sensitive skin, and comfortable through all-day wear. Avoid synthetic fabrics that can trap heat and moisture, which is especially important during pregnancy.
