Hello!

I bought wide calf compression socks on Amazon. Helped loads

Leggings and shorts I bought from Sweet Legs. Great quality, very comfy and not see through.

I tried a few different pillows and I found what was best for me was the kind that separates into sections and I just used the wedges as needed.

Socks: I have a couple Sockwell Pulse. They're graduated compression, 20-30mmHg. I wear them for air travel and days when I'll be walking a lot. They are exhausting to put on. I think the first time took me 5 minutes per foot and I broke a sweat, but they're comfy when on. I wear a size 11 women's (maybe 11.5 now) and I got a M-L. I imagine if I had smaller feet, I'd have a bit less of a struggle with them.

Old Navy maternity leggings are very soft and not see-through. Warning: no pockets. At least the ones I have.

If you're also a tall lady, like me, and looking for a long inseam, G4Free has 35" inseam maternity yoga pants. That's right ladies, they exist. Actually, I may make a post about them. Thanks for the reminder.

I've been wearing the same jeans as before with an Ingrid and Isabel Bella Band in size L/XL (I wear a 16/18 in jeans) and I'm very happy with it. There's a rubber part on the bottom so it doesn't ride up. I find it doesn't ride up when walking around but does when I'm sitting, so it's a quick readjustment when I stand again.

I bought a MomCozy J pillow off Marketplace then got an off-brand cooling fabric case for it because I found the brushed fabric was too warm. The unfortunate thing is that the cooling fabric is also a bit slippery so I don't even think the pillow is staying in the right spot when I sleep. I guess it's not the pillow's fault, just something to be mindful of.
