How Compression Shorts and Leggings Can Help Relieve Sciatica During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it doesn’t always come without discomfort. One common issue many expecting mums face is sciatica—a sharp, shooting pain that can radiate from the lower back, down the hips, and into the legs. If you're experiencing this, you’re not alone—and there is relief.

At Supacore, we understand the physical toll pregnancy can have on your body. That’s why our patented Coretech® compression shorts and leggings are designed to support you through every stage of your prenatal journey—including those not-so-fun sciatica flare-ups.

So, how can compression garments actually help with sciatica?

Here’s what makes our seamless pregnancy support shorts and leggings a game-changer:

1. Targeted Compression Where You Need It Most

Our body-mapped compression technology mirrors your body’s natural core stability system, applying gentle yet firm compression to the pelvis and lower back. This helps reduce the pressure on the sciatic nerve, offering noticeable relief from pain and discomfort.

2. Support for Pelvic Instability

During pregnancy, your body produces relaxin—a hormone that loosens ligaments in preparation for birth. This can lead to pelvic girdle pain and instability, which often aggravates sciatica. Our patented design supports the pelvis and sacroiliac joints, promoting alignment and stability.

3. Stretch Zones That Move With You

Our seamless soft flex zones are thoughtfully engineered to expand with your growing belly, ensuring comfort without compromising support—whether you prefer the lighter feel of shorts or the full coverage of leggings.

4. No More Chafing

Say goodbye to painful thigh irritation. Our anti-chafing fabric keeps you cool and comfortable—especially important if you’re staying active during your pregnancy. Both the shorts and leggings are designed to prevent friction and discomfort, even on your busiest days.

5. Comfort That Lasts (And Lasts)

Made with quality-tested materials that last up to 150 washes, these garments are built to support you through multiple pregnancies—or simply long-term use. Fewer seams also mean less abrasion and more comfort, no matter which style you choose.

6. Health Rebates Available

If you’re in Australia, you’ll be pleased to know that Supacore maternity compression shorts and leggings may be eligible for health fund rebates. That’s added peace of mind for both your body and your budget.

7. Better for the Planet

Our sustainable, seamless manufacturing process uses 35% less energy and produces 30% less waste, so you can feel good about what you’re wearing—for yourself and for the future you're growing.

Don’t let sciatica slow you down. With Supacore’s patented pregnancy support shorts and leggings, you can feel more stable, supported, and ready to take on the day—whether you’re resting, walking, working, or preparing for the baby's arrival.
