I am desperate to figure out if I need them before spending this much on them when control pants are cheaper. No matter what you’re doing, the best underwear will keep you feeling supported, without causing pain or irritation. Boody's full briefs have almost five-star reviews across the board, and feature a silky smooth base layer that keeps you cool and comfortable.

These highly absorbent pants come in a pack of nine and in-built technology turns even heavy leaks to gel, all while neutralising odours instantly and continuously. High Waisted Underwear that envelops the entire surgical area will gently compress the swelling and allow for a faster recovery.When used in combination with a foam insert, it will assist with lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, while cocooning your abdomen.

SUPER STRETCHY ALL OVER: More flexible than your prenatal yoga teacher, these undies are designed to keep pads (and all other recovery layers) in place without compromising comfort. It’s a decent short-term solution, since the waistband should be high enough to avoid your incision. Our range of postpartum recovery garments features: postpartum girdles, belly wraps, waist trainers and underwear.We have a curated range of medical-grade, postnatal compression garments and shapewear for C-sections. This design was made in collaboration with OB/GYNs, doulas, midwives, and pelvic floor therapists and comes with the brand's between-legs reusable ice/heat pack for added comfort. Made just for C section moms, UpSpring C Panty is the only patented postpartum underwear that provides everything needed to support cesarean section recovery.

You can also opt for more or less elastic materials, depending on what you are looking for; they allow a flexibility of the fabric which can be very appreciable for a woman who has just undergone this type of operation. Made from eco-friendly Tencel™ modal material, our postpartum pants feel like a second skin and won’t ride up or roll down. C-section undies help prevent bacteria from building up and reduce the risk of you getting an infection. Convenient: C-section undies can be worn discreetly under clothing allowing you to go about your daily activities without worrying about discomfort or looking like you are wearing a nappy. It may sound simple, but such are the building blocks of ensuring a recovery that’s as smooth and comfortable as possible.

This style you choose really depends on your preference, but you should always opt for one that gives you more coverage. Instead, we use patented materials and technology to create the best postpartum underwear that looks and feels like the versions you wore pre-baby—because only one of you needs to leave the hospital in a diaper!
