For expectant moms, slipping into hosiery of any kind during the final months of a pregnancy can be torture. But a new line of luxury hosiery, Maman Maternity by Solidea USA, is made from a stretchy fabric that helps to support the abdomen.
Through the use of a patented Micromassage Magic technology, the company promises hose that will reduce the appearance of cellulite and aid in preventing or soothing many of the aggravating conditions particular to pregnancy, including varicose veins, ankle swelling, and water retention. Among the most appealing pantyhose styles are the Magic Maman Shapewear ($47.95), which features Micromassage cellulite-control tops, and the Wonder Model Maman ($49.95) with attached cotton soles that relieve worn-out feet. Both feature a cozy pouch held up by a firm band that gently hugs a growing belly. For more information and to purchase, go to legluxe.com.
