Whether you’re expecting or have just welcomed your new baby, comfortable clothing is a must because of your changing body and how sensitive your skin is. You need breathable and flexible wardrobe staples that will keep you comfortable no matter what you’re doing. This is why Larken has chosen to use one of the most comfortable fabrics, MicroModal, for some of our clothing because we want all moms to feel great during pregnancy and postpartum.
What Is MicroModal Made Of?
MicroModal is a specialized type of modal rayon fabric that's made from the pulp of beech trees. The difference between MicroModal fabric and other fabrics is its ultra-fine fibers give this fabric its signature silky texture and lightweight feel.
Why MicroModal Fabric Is Excellent For Maternity & Postpartum Clothing
Soft & Comfortable
When you’re pregnant and during postpartum, your skin can become more sensitive and easily irritated. Hard seams or itchy material can make some clothing unbearable to wear, which is why clothing made out of MicroModal fabric is so comfortable, you can live in it, literally! Because it’s so soft, it feels especially good on sensitive areas like your growing belly, hips, thighs, and breasts.
Breathable
During pregnancy and postpartum, hormonal fluctuations can cause your body temperature to go back and forth between hot flashes and night sweats. MicroModal fabric offers advanced breathability so air can circulate to help regulate your body temperature, and not make you feel wet due to its moisture-wicking capabilities. MicroModal fabric also keeps you warm when it’s cold, making it the perfect type of fabric to have in your wardrobe all year round.
Stretchy & Keeps Its Shape
Your body fluctuates in shape and size throughout pregnancy and into postpartum, so you need clothes that will grow with your bump, as well as keep you comfortable. For postpartum clothing, you need clothes that offer gentle support without feeling restrictive. MicroModal fabric adapts to your changing body, and stretches as you grow without losing its shape. It also keeps its fit after being washed, so you’ll always have a flattering fit.
MicroModal Clothing For Pregnancy & Postpartum
Nursing Tank Tops
For moms that are breastfeeding or pumping, nursing tank tops are going to be a must-have wardrobe staple. MicroModal nursing tops are incredibly soft against both your skin and your baby's. Because of how stretchable the material is, it allows for easy access for feedings or while pumping.
Loungewear & Pajamas
When you want to get into something cozy and relax, MicroModal pajama sets, nightshirts, and high-waisted leggings give you a flexible, non-restrictive fit. Wear any of these pieces for a great night sleep to manage night sweats so you don’t wake up all sweaty.
