How to Choose Sexy Maternity Lingerie
While you’re pregnant, you don’t have to sacrifice feeling sexy in stylish, seductive lingerie.
There’s no doubt that your body goes through many natural changes while pregnant. Your body physically undergoes change and hormones can alter the way you feel on the inside. For some, these hormones can mean that getting frisky is the last thing on their mind. For others, it can be all they think about! Regardless of where you sit, it can be enjoyable to have a gorgeous set of maternity-friendly lingerie to help you feel amazing at all stages of your pregnancy.
With so many different types of lingerie to choose from, where do you begin? The key to shopping for sexy maternity lingerie is to choose an item that is either loose or stretchy for comfortable wear as your tummy grows. Comfort is most important, so we recommend staying away from underwired or boned lingerie and instead opt for lacy and loose.
Tips for choosing your Maternity Lingerie
It’s a good idea to choose lingerie with adjustable straps and fastenings which allow you to change the fit as your body transforms and your tummy grows.
To continue enjoying your piece of maternity lingerie beyond pregnancy, you may wish to select items with easily removable cups for breastfeeding and stretchy material which will continue to fit your body once your baby arrives and afterwards.
When in doubt, go for one size lingerie. Luckily, we have a generous selection of one size lingerie here at Lovehoney to choose from. These pieces tend to have more stretch than regular sized clothing, so it expands and retracts for a continually comfortable fit.
Read on for everything you need to know about buying lingerie for pregnant women, selecting erotic maternity lingerie and the best styles to help you feel beautiful. We've also chosen some key pieces for you to enjoy during and after pregnancy, helping you to continually feel satisfied and sexy.

Sexy Maternity Lingerie for your bust
A soft-cup bra is an essential piece of maternity lingerie. This is because the underwire can be painful on enlarged or swollen breasts. If you’re after something a bit raunchy, choose a soft-cup bra that shows off your nipples beneath a layer of sheer mesh for sexiness and support without discomfort.
If you’re keen to show off your newly enlarged tatas while you can, we recommend trying a peek-a-boo bra. This jaw-dropping open-cup style of lingerie is the ultimate piece to showcase your sensual body. The cheekiness of a peek-a-boo bra will make it near impossible for your partner to look anywhere else. Plus, the open cup allows you to take full advantage of the potential sensitivity of your breasts and nipples.
For total comfort and support
Flyaway lace babydolls are your best option for a loose-fitting, comfortable and adjustable piece of maternity lingerie. Babydoll lingerie skims and flatters your bump. They are a perfect option for feeling sexy and comfortable throughout your pregnancy. For additional breast support during sex, a sheer babydoll with halter neck ties will gently lift and support your bust and flares out over your bump. As an added bonus, the flowy, soft material of babydolls feel incredible against your skin! Walk and swish around in style, revealing the sensuality of your growing bump.
Alternatively, a robe is a beautifully versatile piece of bedroom attire that you’ll get wear out of long after your pregnancy is over. Robes are fully adjustable to your changing body and the silky satin will smoothly caress your bump, breasts and below to help you feel wonderful.
Sexy Pregnancy Underwear
For a functional and alluring style during pregnancy, try lace underwear with a low waistband and full gusset. For day-to-day, it’s handy to wear underwear that provides a decent level of crotch coverage. However, when it comes down to doing the deed, a soft thong or crotchless pair of underwear can help you to feel your sexiest. Black lace is always a winner to feel super sensual.
Maternity Lingerie to show off your bump
Pregnancy is a beautiful, natural process your body can go through - so why not flaunt it? If you’re searching for maternity lingerie to do just that, an all-in-one bodystocking is the perfect item. These stretchy numbers fit like a glove throughout your whole pregnancy, with no uncomfortable seams or waistbands to deal with.
