Forget about making do with maternity shorts that dig into your bump, roll down or simply don’t fit – your body is doing an incredible thing, and you deserve better! These cycling shorts will not only support you to stay active throughout your pregnancy, they’re great for wearing under a dress in summer to avoid thigh-rub and ‘Marilyn moments’. Best of all, they’ll be a perfect postnatal fit too, so they’ll last way longer than nine months.
Designed by a mum for mums and mums-to-be, these squat-proof shorts are crafted in silky-soft technical fabric that wicks away sweat and grows with your body. The super-high waistband can be rolled down for a lower rise or pulled up over your tummy to gently hug and support your bump, lower back and hips. Stretch in the fabric delivers light compression and ensures the waistband continues to adapt to your changing shape, even after your baby is born (no bagging or sagging here!).
The seams on these cycling shorts are strategically positioned to sit below your tummy, so they won’t dig into your bump or irritate a C-section scar. We’ve also added two deep pockets that are ideal for stashing a phone, gym card, keys, toddler snacks or even a baby bottle – we’ve tried and tested all these and more!
We're proud to be a GOLD winner in the Best Maternity Fashion Brand category of the Loved By Parents awards 2022.
Also available in Raspberry, Grey and Olive
Why mamas love them
Bump-loving fabric
Our stretchy fabric will grow with your body from the first trimester to the third, without ever compromising on support. It also provides light compression, which can help ease pregnancy back and hip pain.
Perfect for postpartum life
You can wear these super-versatile cycling shorts for as long as you like postnatally – in fact, they'll probably become your go-to for everything from a workout to an extra bit of modesty under dresses.
Never see-through!
Squat to your heart’s content without worrying that your shorts are letting you down! Our fabric is completely opaque and will stay that way through wash and wear. It's also the ideal thickness for preventing VPL and concealing maternity pads or knickers.
Wear low or high waisted
Wear the waistband high to gently hug your bump or lightly sculpt your postnatal tummy, or roll it down if that’s more your style.
Dropped seams
These maternity cycling shorts feature dropped seams that won’t dig into your bump. They're also strategically positioned so they won't rub a C-section scar.
Two large pockets
Cycling shorts with pockets? Yes indeed. We’ve added a deep pocket at either side of these maternity and postnatal shorts. They’ll easily hold your phone, keys, a muslin or even a baby bottle. Game changer!
What stage are they for?
These maternity cycling shorts will see you through every step of your pregnancy – from the first trimester until you’re ready to pop! You can also count on them for comfort and support once your baby arrives, because they're designed to transition with your body both during and after pregnancy.
Show
Generally the first trimester: you're newly pregnant and your regular clothes are becoming a little tight.
Glow
Generally the second trimester: your bump has 'popped' and there's no more squeezing into your jeans with the hairband hack!
Grow
Generally the third trimester: you're in the thick of it now! You can't really see your toes anymore and baby is very much at home!
Whoa
Mamas of multiples or those with truly magnificent bumps – especially towards the end of pregnancy.
Postnatal
The fourth trimester and beyond: you've got through labour, your baby is here and you're keen to get moving. You need workout shorts you can count on to boost your confidence and support your postpartum tummy through every movement in comfort.

Let customers speak for us
Love these cycling shorts. They are so comfy. I’d wear them all the time if the weather was warmer! I’ll be buying another pair for sure.
Bought as a gift as they had tried a different brand and not got on well with them. Recipient is 28 weeks pregnant and loves these so much she’s buying another pair. Excellent fit and well priced for a gift.
The bra is not the correct size. I tried on the pink one in small size at the baby and toddle show in Manchester and it fitted fine. As per advise I ordered same size in black but it doesn’t fit.
It flattens my chest furthermore I need to use the spare hooks and use it on last set which wasn’t the case when I tried pink one on.
Please issue a refund for it
These shorts are brilliant, so comfortable and love the style and colour. 100% recommend
Lovely quality, really comfortable and supportive, and easy to feed my little one.
Comfortable, supportive and practical
I really like the design. It covers much of my torso so I don’t feel like I need an extra top over it. The clips at the back mean the racer back position is easy to get and this is tight. Sizing might need adjusting as I did my measurements following the online guide and ordered a small. However, whilst this fitted well around my torso, I had spaces under the arms with the cup. As the bra comes with back extenders, I should have ordered XS to get the right fit for my cup and then I could use the extenders to fit around my torso. I would love to see a navy one of these products available .
Lovely sportsbra suitable for feeding. I like the removable insert. The only thing I would say is the size of the back strap is on the larger side. I measured as recommended and it's fits on the tighter strap not allowing chance to make tighter as elastic stretches. Love it though, thank you
Feels much more secure and supportive than other nursing sports bras I’ve tried, would definitely recommend!
Great fit, true to size, super comfortable, pockets are a godsend. Best shorts I’ve had in ages. I quite often wear them into work under dresses as well as they are supportive without being restrictive. A few more colours eventually would be good.
(FYI they aren’t padded cycling shorts in case it wasn’t obvious but if I’m on the bike I just wear padded cycling knickers!)
Hands down the best pregnancy and post partum leggings.
I have ordered again and again as you can never have enough. My 1st pair only just died and they were over 3 years old. I wear them pretty much 24/7
I ordered these after Latched was recommended to me by a friend. Unfortunately, these leggings were way too long for me. I’m 5’7 and the leggings I bought would have fit the leg length of someone 6ft+. When I tried them on, I had to roll them over about 4 times! Before I was pregnant I was a size 20-22 but with my bump growing I bought the largest size Latched sell (3XL), thinking that I’d need bigger. The leggings fit brilliantly on my tummy and thighs, were very comfortable and great quality. All I can think of is that due to the bigger size, Latched are catering for very tall women too. It’s disappointing because I’ve heard nothing but good things about the brand, but these leggings just aren’t for me and that’s fine.
I bought this for my daughter and was concerned about buying online. The sweatshirt arrived promptly and was really well made. She is very happy with it. Highly recommended.
I was so keen to get back into training after having my daughter but was worried about having the correct bra for both feeding and exercise. I definitely needed support as I wanted to pursue running again but really wasn’t sure how it would work out with logistics of feeding. I was recommended latched by a fellow breastfeeding friend.. what a fabulous recommendation that was! I can honestly say the support the bra offers is incredible. My boobs don’t ache, bounce up or down but at the same time they don’t feel restricted. The bra is true to size and the feeding straps are easy to use: when you have sweaty hands from training! Just don’t forget to do up the catch on the back, luckily my husband spotted it!! Have already recommended to others at my running group.
These are so comfy for my growing bump. Definitely need to buy more pairs!
