Designed to assist new mothers in the recovery phase following childbirth, our shorts offer targeted support to the abdominal and pelvis areas.
Whether you have undergone a C-section or are experiencing postpartum discomfort, our maternity support shorts will help you reclaim your comfort and confidence.
The benefits of postpartum recovery wear
Our Postpartum Support Wear shorts are an essential to help you heal and recover after birth. Made from nylon and spandex, they are super soft and breathable against your skin. The mid section gentle and targeted compression helps postpartum conditions such as:
- Lower back Pain
- Abdominal Separation (Diastasis Rectus)
- Perineal tearing and episiotomy wounds
- C-Section Wounds
Women have been wrapping up their torsos after delivering babies for thousands of years. Japanese women wear a “sarashi”, Latin women bind themselves with a “faja” and Malaysian women use a “bengkung”
Applying a gentle compression to the belly after delivering your baby provides support to stretched out abdominal muscles, helps your uterus contract, can reduce back pain (especially those with C-sections and abdominal wall separation), helps rid your body of excess fluids and helps pull your hips and ribcage back into their pre-baby position. The greatest benefit comes from binding during the first 8 weeks postpartum, when the hormone levels of relaxin are still very elevated. It’s a no brainer: gentle compression is a win win.
It is so important to focus on the physical benefits of postpartum compression wear. Postpartum compression can aid in back support, help with muscle memory, provide support during breastfeeding, and decrease pressure on the back and legs. Abdominal compression also speeds up the recovery process after C-section surgery.
Does postpartum shapewear work?
Women have been wrapping up their torsos after delivering babies for thousands of years. Japanese women wear a “sarashi”, Latin women bind themselves with a “faja” and Malaysian women use a “bengkung”. In more modern times, postpartum recovery shorts have emerged as a blend of tradition and modern technology, offering new mothers targeted support for quicker healing.
Designed with the latest compression technology, these shorts focus on providing optimum support to the abdominal and pelvic regions, which is especially beneficial after a C-section or natural childbirth. They help reduce swelling, improving blood circulation, and correcting posture, all while offering the comfort needed in the postpartum period. Just like their traditional counterparts, postpartum recovery shorts aim to make the journey into motherhood as comfortable and beneficial as possible, acknowledging that maternal well-being is a critical part of newborn care.
How to wear your postnatal compression shorts
Open up the leg holes and carefully slide your feet through them, just as you would with regular shorts. As you stand up, gently pull the shorts upwards. Make sure the fabric smoothly covers your abdomen, reaching up to just below your ribcage. The material should sit comfortably above the incision site, not on it, to prevent any discomfort or irritation. Finally, adjust the shorts so that they offer snug but not constricting compression. You should feel supported but not restricted.
What size should you get?
It is normally pretty safe to go by your rough pre pregnancy size if you have put on just 'baby'. If you have put on some baby weight (which is completely normal) think about sizing up accordingly. Our beautiful model wears a size 10
Remember that they are a compression garment, so they are meant to be a very firm fit. The shorts stretch, and the compression acts as a fantastic support to aid you while you recover and heal.
If you want to wear them during pregnancy, size up to accommodate your beautiful bump.
As with all things pregnancy, seek medical advice if you are unsure of anything. Always consult your doctor before using any compression garments.
