Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I wear maternity compression garments?
Compression garments are medical devices designed to support your body during its most physically demanding changes. During pregnancy, your body produces the hormone relaxin, which loosens joints and ligaments. A high-quality maternity support garment acts as an external anchor, providing the stability your changing body loses naturally.
Incorporating pregnancy compression into your daily routine can help alleviate common symptoms such as sciatica, lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, vulvar varicosities, and edema (swelling).

How does postpartum compression help recovery?

The fourth trimester is critical for healing. Postpartum compression garments are designed to support weakened abdominal muscles, especially if you have Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation). Wearing specialized postpartum garments after delivery can help reduce swelling, support your incision after a C-section, and improve mobility during those first crucial weeks.
Unlike standard shapewear, our post-pregnancy compression wear is FDA-listed and designed for medical recovery, ensuring you get safe, gentle compression that supports tissue healing without restricting blood flow.

Does insurance cover maternity compression?
Most health insurance plans cover maternity compression garments and postpartum support garments as durable medical equipment (DME). At Motif, we make it easy to access the compression wear you need.
Use our Insurance Lookup Tool to see if you qualify for a pregnancy support garment or postpartum recovery support garment at little to no cost to you.

When should I start wearing a pregnancy support garment?

You can typically start wearing a pregnancy support garment or back brace at the beginning of your second trimester (around 3 months), or whenever you begin to feel lower back pain or pelvic pressure.
If you are unsure if maternity compression is right for you or when you should start wearing compression garments, talk to your doctor.

Will the support garment fit me throughout my entire pregnancy?

Yes. Our maternity support garments are fully adjustable, allowing them to grow with your bump from month three all the way to delivery. This means you don't need to buy multiple sizes as you progress; one device provides consistent relief throughout your pregnancy.

How tight should my compression wear feel?
Your compression garments should feel like a firm, supportive "hug", snug, but not painful. You should be able to breathe deeply and move comfortably. If you experience pinching, numbness, or deep red marks on your skin, the garment may be too small.
Correctly sized compression wear provides relief, not restriction.

What is the difference between maternity compression and shapewear?
Standard shapewear is designed primarily for aesthetics (slimming the silhouette) and is often made of non-breathable materials that can trap heat.
In contrast, a pregnancy compression garment is a medical device designed for rehabilitation. It uses graduated compression to reduce swelling (edema), stabilize the pelvic floor, and support the lower back while your core muscles recover.

Can I wear compression wear while sleeping?

Unless prescribed by a doctor for a specific medical condition, it is usually recommended to take off compression wear at night to allow your skin to breathe.

Do I need a prescription for compression wear?

If you are purchasing postpartum recovery garments through insurance, a prescription from your healthcare provider is typically required. However, if you are buying out of pocket directly from our store, no prescription is required.

What are the compression garments made of?
The Pregnancy Back Brace is made of Nylon and Polyester.
The Postpartum Recovery Garment is made of latex-free Nylon and Spandex.
The Compression Socks are made of a blend of Nylon, Spandex, and Polyester.
The Pregnancy Support Leggings & shorts are made of Polyamide and Elastane.
The Lumbar Support Pro is made of Polyester, Nylon, Spandex, ABS, PE, TPU, Gel, and PVC.
The Abdominal Binder is made of Polyester, Nylon, Spandex, and PU Foam.

How do I wash my support garments?
To maintain the elasticity and medical-grade support of your maternity compression garment, we recommend handwashing in cool water with a mild detergent. Lay the support garments flat to dry. Avoid hot water, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can break down the fibers that provide the essential compression.
