LoveSteady was created by a Women's Health Physical Therapist and Pilates Instructor. Our products are inspired by your active pregnancy and motherhood journey! Proudly made in the USA. 100% designed & manufactured in California.
At LoveSteady your goal is to be more than just a place you shop. Our desire is to be a trusted ally, a supportive friend, an encouraging advocate, and a helpful source of information.
Where We Come From
LoveSteady was created in 2007 when our founder, a then practicing physical therapist named Suzanne, noticed that her patients didn’t have the tools they needed to comfortably get through pregnancy. She began designing products that would support those who were looking to remain active and supported throughout their pregnancies and prevent them from turning to restrictive, ill-fitting girdles and binders that would squeeze their midsections and actually impede postpartum recovery. She started sharing her sample pieces with local Northern California mothers and officially launched as Bao Bei at the Los Angeles Trade Show in September 2007. The Belly Sports Bra was officially born.
Fast forward to today, LoveSteady is still comprised of a small team of moms dedicated to providing support for people in all phases of their parenthood journey. We believe postpartum is forever and are constantly working to extend our reach so that everyone can feel supported, nurtured, and cared for through pregnancy and beyond.
Intentional Design
Each product from our collection is intentionally created from start to finish. We begin with a design and test it again and again before it is ever publicly released. Each piece we make is more than just part of an outfit. We aim to create lasting support wear that will stand the test of time, and, most importantly, support a healthy pregnancy and postpartum. From our sizing to our fabric selection, nothing is chosen without thought and concern for those who are trusting us with their bodies.
As a promise to you, we are constantly striving to be more inclusive while maintaining our commitment to slow fashion and ethical production. Our goal is to continually expand our reach so that you feel supported, regardless of your size, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation,
Commitment to Sustainability
From the start, upholding ethical production has been a core tenet of LoveSteady. We use small batch production, ensuring both the quality of our product and the proper treatment of all those involved in manufacturing. From our fabric selection, to our sewing team, to our shipping team we work with small businesses to support our local economy and reduce our impact on the planet.
We are consistently upgrading our packaging to be more environmentally conscious and look for creative ways to use our fabric scraps so we can reduce waste. We are dedicated to supporting every caregiver, including Mother Earth.
Community Focus
LoveSteady will always strive to place our community first. We are who we are because of you. You really do matter to us. As a small business, we promise never to forget our roots and never to stop celebrating each and every purchase you make. You are the reason we are here, and we will continue honoring our commitment to you, to our community, and to our Earth. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time (hello@teambaobei.com) We look forward to the opportunity to support you and thank you for placing your trust in us.
WE (are) LOVESTEADY
I have bought 3 pair of these and recommended them to all my mom to be friends! First night coming home from the hospital I was so uncomfortable, I had a scheduled c section and was managing the c section pain fine but my god the back pain from laying on my back for 3 days straight and ribs settling back into place was getting unbearable but the thought of sleeping on my side was terrifying as I thought every organ was going to fall out of me. I put these on and holy sh*t, I have never felt so supported in my life. Was able to move freely without feeling like I was compromising support! Since that night, I ordered two more pair and have lived in them. The belly binder the hospital gave was so uncomfortable and let’s be honest, no one’s sleeping in that or wearing it through the day. My Pelvic PT recommended against any Velcro belly binder and recommended these and I am so glad she did! I will continue to use these until they fall apart, even after recovery! Picture is right at 2 weeks postpartum and I’m only 8lbs from pre-pregnancy birth weight, started wearing them day 4 and notified a huge difference with belly size and ab muscle support when not wearing within only a few days. Cannot recommend them enough!
These legging are not what I expected, these are regular leggings but overpriced.
My sister-in-law got these for me 3 months ago while recovering from a c-section. They are amazing, I still wear them often! I would love to get another pair but the size M has been sold out for a while now. I hope they are back in stock soon!
Postpartum Recovery Leggings
These leggings give great abdominal support after a c-section and are much more comfortable than a belly binder.
I’m two weeks postpartum after my second c-section, and I’ve been wearing these every single day. Love the support and definitely recommend! The only thing that would make them better is pockets :)
The leggings are very supportive and do make a difference for my pelvic floor. Unfortunately for me the seam across the butt lands in a spot that is a sensory irk. It makes them feel as if they are sliding down, when they are not. This might only be an issue for people with pear shaped bodies. I am confident I have the correct size as they fit everywhere it’s simply one seam placement that bothers me . I have many love steady products and love all of them but these are a meh for me.
I tried two other expensive postpartum brands after my c section. These are by far the best leggings on the market.
Im soooo glad i got these. I am a week postpartum and started wearing these 2 days after my natural birth. The compression is perfect and I have seen such a huge difference from my previous 2 postpartum experiences. My recovery is so much smoother and my core really feels supported. I know I’ll also be using them in my workouts because the support is excellent I want to get more pairs but they are sold out and have been for a while! Please bring them back in size M!!
These leggings provide great post partum support but they are a little too compressive for everyday wear. I can wear for about half a day before feeling uncomfortable. I ordered a size small (I’m usually an 4 or a 6). Getting them on is difficult (thighs and butt are curvy, but I’m petite). The stitching over the butt also comes down a little too far and makes your backside look a little flat. Overall, I appreciate the support, but there are improvements that can be made for a more everyday wear legging.
my new favorite leggings!!
Love the amount of compression with these high waisted leggings! Able to wear these a couple weeks postpartum in a medium vs my pre pregnancy size of small. Highly recommend!!
I took the advice of sizing up and glad that I did. The leggings fit really well and I definitely feel supported, post-cesarean. The leggings do have a tendency to roll at the top but it's not something that prevents me from wearing them multiple times each week.
I'm very happy with these leggings! I first tried them on 3 days postpartum and was happy with how supported I felt. I've been wearing them just a few hours each day and plan to wear them longer once they fit better.
I’ve tried many of these types of pants and honestly these are by far the best. Fits nicely - slims all your postpartum parts. Totally recommend.
These leggings are fantastic with a good compression and fit. However I would’ve rated higher if there was a way to stop them from rolling down at the top.
I like these leggings, but they are too short! I wish they had them in tall sizes. For reference, I am 5'10", and around 165 lbs (bought size large)
I was excited to try these, but I am disappointed with the quality of the fabric and fit given the price. The material is not very breathable and not quite as buttery as advertised. The fit isn't quite as hugging and snug as I was expecting it to be, so I find myself hoisting and adjusting the crotch area throughout the day. I want to return these, but I don't want to pay for the return shipment so I will keep them. I also have the bloomers, and I also find the fit a bit off--the lining around the butt feels loose and doesn't hug as much as I would expect with compression bloomers. I am 5'8 and 34 weeks pregnant, weighing about 200 lbs. I read good reviews, so I was willing to try these products, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed.
I love Bao Bei so much. From the belly support band to the hug tanks - BUT THESE LEGGINGS. Holy WOW! I have bought several different support leggings from other brands that everyone probably knows - (going to abbreviate the brands as I know some love them) as a big booty and thick thigh girl BF leggings were 1. Not supportive enough, the material was not soft and the crotch area went bad after 1 wear. PL leggings the legs were so small idk how any thick thigh girl could get them up because I couldn’t lol! And the material was terrible as well. BB leggings pretty much the same thing. Now Bao Bei - these are buttery soft, thick - but not too thick - material that is compressive for sure but the legs and booty fit in perfectly. They lift the butt and tuck that mom pooch quite nicely and if you get the right size they don’t roll down! These are a must and I’ll be replacing all my other leggings with these. I’m so beyond in love - don’t worry about the price they will pay for themselves in the confidence you get back. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
I was 200lb at 39 weeks and have dropped to around 175 (I’m 5’6’’ athletic build) within 2 weeks of giving birth. The mediums are still a little too tight but I’m hopeful in a few weeks, they will be perfect!
They fit better than expected and are snug exactly where I need the support. I've only had them for a day so this review may be premature. But my biggest complaint is it's 2023, why are there still leggings being made with zero pockets? Do we know what moms do all day? We juggle. We run around. We manage multiple little humans. So please. At least 1 pocket for our phone or our keys. Please.
I bought these to help with pelvic floor recovery and am so far impressed by the quality of the leggings. Recovery will take longer, of course, but I feel supported while wearing these and as a bonus, I feel cute!
I’m 4yrs postpartum but bought these leggings to try for the couple days before my period. I usually get so sore and swollen with so much discomfort in my low back and so far I haven’t had any of that this month!! I can’t wait to try them out for my next long road trip or flight as well to see if my swollen legs and ankles improve :) I would 10/10 recommend these leggings. I usually wear a lulu 4/6 and the small in these leggings is PERFECT!
Just the right amount of support. Very high quality material.
These leggings hold you in just right. Glad to have them postpartum
Fun fact: I'm not pregnant and I haven't been pregnant. I bought these as a means to feel more supported due to hormonal imbalances and lower belly pooch I've accumulated with estrogen dominance. These make me feel so confident and I feel really held. I also like to wear them alone with a cute crop top or swimsuit top. Love!!! The only thing I would mention is that since they're so high-waisted they can show the 'outer circle' of the belly button and I feel myself wanting to try and hide that sometimes. I would also love an option for full-length!
These were recommended to me by a post partum recovery nurse to help with recovery after giving birth. They definitely feel more like compression leggings, and I’d recommend going at least a size up from your pre pregnancy size. I usually wear them in the morning to early afternoon, then switch to a looser pant.
The leggings made me feel like my pre pregnancy body was back!
These have held up incredibly! The quality can’t be beat, in fact I’m two years out and these are still my go to leggings. Not see through and pretty much the only thing I work postpartum other than sweatpants. The only thing that would make these the best would be a side pocket…moms need pockets. But overall I would absolutely recommend!
