How To Choose Sexy Maternity Lingerie
Being pregnant shouldn't mean you have to sacrifice on sex appeal or comfort.
There’s no doubt your body goes through so many changes when you’re pregnant. From your physical appearance on the outside to your hormones running wild on the inside, there’s a lot going on.
For some pregnant people, those hormones mean the last thing they can think of is getting sexual and for others, it’s all they can think about. Regardless, it’s always nice to have a gorgeous set of lingerie to make you feel amazing from the start of your pregnancy to the end. When there are so many different types of lingerie though, where are you meant to begin?
The key to shopping for sexy maternity lingerie is to choose something loose or stretchy that won't start to feel uncomfortably tight as your tummy grows. Comfort is important, so once you get rounder, we recommend staying away from underwired or boned lingerie - save the lace-up corsets until after you give birth!
It's a good idea to choose lingerie with adjustable straps and fastenings which allow you to change the fit with your body’s changes and your belly’s growth. Another thing to consider is choosing sexy maternity lingerie you’ll want to wear beyond pregnancy, for example, pieces with easily removable cups for breastfeeding and a stretchy material which will continue to fit your body once your baby is born and long afterwards. One size lingerie—which luckily, we have heaps of on Lovehoney—tends to have more of a stretch than regular sized clothing, meaning it expands and retracts for a comfortable fit as your bump grows.
Read on for everything you need to know about buying lingerie for pregnant women, erotic maternity lingerie and the best styles we have to make you feel beautiful inside and out. We've also chosen some key pieces for you which can look great before, during and after pregnancy, helping you feel satisfied and sexy for the entire nine months.

Sexy maternity lingerie for your bust
A soft cup bra is a pregnancy essential, as underwires can be painful for swollen breasts. Choose a soft bra that shows off your nipples beneath a layer of sheer mesh for sexiness and support without discomfort.
If you’re someone who doesn’t usually have the biggest bust and you want to show off your swollen tatas while you can, consider a peek-a-boo bra. The jaw-dropping open-cup style will make it near impossible for your partner to look anywhere else and takes full advantage of all the sensitivity your breasts and nipples can be feeling.
To hide your bump
Loose-fitting, comfortable and adjustable, a flyaway lace babydoll skims, flatters and reveals a glimpse of your bump. It's the perfect way to keep feeling sexy throughout your pregnancy journey. The flowing and soft material of baby dolls also feels so good against your skin. Walk and swish around in one for a bit to feel what we’re talking about.
Do you feel like your breasts need additional support during sex? A sheer babydoll with halter neck ties will gently lift and support as it flares out over your bump.
A robe is a truly versatile piece of bedroom attire that you'll wear long after your pregnancy is over. Fully adjustable to suit your changing body, satin will smoothly caress your bump, breasts and below while making you feel great.
Sexy pregnancy underwear
Try stretchy lace knickers with a low waistband and a full gusset. Discharge occurs more often while pregnant and so it is handy to wear underwear which provides a good level of coverage around the crotch day to day. That being said, a soft thong or crotchless pair when it comes down to doing the deed is always a good idea. Black lace is also a winner for letting you feel oh, so sexy.
Maternity lingerie to show off your bump
Pregnancy is a beautiful, natural thing your body can go through and sometimes flaunting it feels awesome. If you're looking for something to do just that, an all-in-one bodystocking is it! Free from uncomfortable seams or waistbands, these stretchy numbers fit like a glove throughout your whole pregnancy.
