Postpartum Recovery Shorts

 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 

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. 

What size should you get?

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.
