Can I use Bauerfeind products while pregnant?Updated 7 hours ago

Yes — many Bauerfeind products can be safely used during pregnancy, particularly for joint support, comfort, stability, and swelling management.
However, every pregnancy is unique, so it’s always best to follow the guidance of your midwife, obstetrician or healthcare professional if you have any specific medical concerns.


Common Bauerfeind products used during pregnancy

✔️ Back Supports

Many pregnant women use our lumbar and pelvic supports to help relieve lower-back strain and improve comfort during daily activities.

✔️ Compression Garments

Graduated compression socks and stockings can help manage:

  • Swelling

  • Aching legs

  • Circulation support

  • Prolonged standing or sitting

(Please note: Some compression products may not be eligible for return — see our Returns Policy for details.)

✔️ Joint Supports

Knee, wrist, and ankle supports are commonly used to relieve:

  • Joint instability

  • Pregnancy-related discomfort

  • Extra load on joints during movement


When to check with a healthcare professional

You should speak with your clinician if you:

  • Have a high-risk pregnancy

  • Have been given specific medical instructions

  • Are using compression for a medical condition (e.g., varicose veins, DVT history)

  • Experience any unusual swelling or discomfort

This ensures your support product complements your care plan.


General guidance

For everyday comfort, mild support needs and general activity, most Bauerfeind products can be used without any special requirements.
