It provides support to help with the uncomfortable weight being carried in your stomach which affects your lower back -and the compression on the leggings helps with pain relief caused by swelling.”

The KKW creator revealed people can wear it even after giving birth. She explained how her maternity line supports and comfort that most women need especially after birth. Kim added it helps women who are recovering from a cesarean especially.

“We launched this category in response to the tens of thousands of pregnant women who wrote us requesting it and because it was something I personally needed when I was pregnant myself,” she explained.
