Your new mum bestie! Our Postnatal Recovery Support Brief is here to support you through those days, weeks and months post-birth. Our postpartum compression recovery underwear is designed with compression recovery technology to offer you support and comfort after childbirth. Like shapewear you can wear our postpartum underwear under clothes all day long — the firm compression fit helps reduce swelling and muscle fatigue and the high waist offers exceptional support through the belly band.
The best postpartum underwear
Designed with women's health physiotherapists for medical-grade support
Our postpartum underwear range has been created in consultation with a women’s health physiotherapist to target specific postpartum issues including muscle separation postpartum (Diastasis Rectus Abdominus Muscle DRAM) or a sore lower back.
Each pair of postpartum underwear has been consciously constructed in a compression fabric that will assist in reducing swelling and muscle soreness after delivery, these styles provide the core support that is necessary for postnatal movement or exercise without the discomfort or bulkiness of wearing a postpartum belly belt.
Why use postpartum underwear?
Designed to be as convenient as possible for busy new mums, the postpartum underwear range features an extra high waistband to provide extra tummy coverage for breastfeeding mamas as well as strategically lower seam placement to avoid scar irritation and rubbing for women who have delivered via c-section.
Postnatal underwear can be worn in the days after delivery, including after c-section, once you feel comfortable to put them on. Many women also wear them while they are sleeping to help feel stable, secure, and get a better night’s sleep.
We understand and acknowledge that every woman’s post-birth experience will be different, so we recommend continuing to wear your pregnancy briefs until you feel comfortable transitioning to a recovery style. To make your life even easier, pair your Recovery Brief with our Mama Feeding Crop, designed with innovative magnetic clasps for breastfeeding for the ultimate ‘prepared new mum’ style.
