How does Belly Bandit C-Section Recovery Underwear work?

Post-delivery, C-section underwear is a lifesaver. Constructed from a soft, breathable fabric, these undies keep you cool and comfortable; protect your incision site during recovery; and offer targeted compression to help reduce swelling in the areas you need it most.

Why do I need Belly Bandit C-Section Recovery Undies?

If you’ve just had a C-section, trust us: You’ll want C section recovery underwear ASAP. You’ll want support for your weakened muscles and protection for your incision site to promote faster healing. They’ll give you the confidence you need to get back to your daily routine and be ready to take on any challenge motherhood throws your way.

Do Belly Bandit c-section undies provide compression?

You bet! In fact, they provide two different levels of compression in the areas you need it most: firm compression around your mid-section to support your core and lower back, and light compression around your incision to reduce swelling without causing discomfort.

When should I start wearing c-section underwear?

You can start wearing C-section recovery underwear as soon as you’d like. Some women feel comfortable wearing them just a few days after surgery, while others prefer to wait until a few weeks post-surgery to start wearing them regularly. Remember, these undies should be snug and supportive, not uncomfortably tight. Be sure to measure yourself post-delivery and reference our Underwear Size Chart to find the best size for your recovering body.

What makes Belly Bandit c-section panties different from other compression undies

At Belly Bandit, it’s the details that really matter. That’s why we don’t just make compression undies; we make post-C-section underwear. Designed with Stayput™ technology to prevent rolling and uncomfortable pinching, all of our panties are sewn with soft, high-quality fabrics that we blend with silver-infused yarns to help minimize odor and prevent bacteria, so you can feel fresh and comfortable all day long. With so many little details added to help soothe specific pains from C-section surgery, you’ll never want to settle for just a regular pair of compression undies ever again.

How Belly Bandit C-Section recovery undies help with postpartum

Even though they’re designed with C-section recovery in mind, these undies can also be used after vaginal delivery. Every woman deserves to own at least one pair of reliable underwear, especially during postpartum. With so many changes happening simultaneously, your body needs all the support it can get. The targeted compression zones in C-section recovery undies help combat postpartum aches and swelling by providing much-needed support to overworked muscles. Soft, breathable, and easy to take on and off, these undies have everything you need to face postpartum symptoms head-on!

Will these undies help reduce swelling?

They may. Every woman’s road to recovery will be a little bit different, but many medical professionals recommend abdominal binders as an effective, simple, non‐pharmacological option for relieving pain and swelling after a Cesarean delivery.

Are Belly Bandit c-section undies sweat wicking and odor resistant?

Absolutely! Our C-section undies are constructed using a breathable seamless knit to keep you cool and dry throughout the day. We also design the front panel of all our C-section undies with silver-infused fibers to minimize odor and bacteria around your incision site.

What is the best underwear for post c-section recovery?

We know we’re biased, but we think the best underwear for C-section recovery is Belly Bandit’s C-Section & Postpartum Recovery Undies. Check out the reviews and you’ll see we’re not the only ones who describe these undies as life-changing!

Will the Belly Bandit c-section undies help minimize recovery time?

It’s possible! Belly Bandit’s C-section undies are designed to promote faster healing by providing support to weakened muscles. They also use compression technology to encourage healthy blood flow, which can reduce swelling and discomfort. Many women find them to be a crucial part of their recovery.

Much needed

As a FTM and first surgery ever, I wasn’t sure what to expect from pain level, pain management or how weak I would be after surgery. The postpartum underwear was a life saver. I started wearing them two weeks post surgery because I was scared for them to go over my incision, but after I got them on, I regretted not wearing them earlier. The first week was awful getting out of bed and I really needed the support, but due to my fear, I postponed it until the second week. Strongly recommend getting them on as soon as possible, as they help getting out of bed and feeling secure while everything is moving around in the abdomen.

Worked well for both pregnancies

Had 2 c sections- worked well for both postpartum phases. Currently 2 weeks postpartum at about 150lbs and a size small fits well. Stretched well. Fabric is really soft and comfortable. Really holds everything in and reduced the swelling in my abdomen drastically.

C-section compression underwear

These were an absolute godsend postpartum c-section! I wish I would've known about them after my first baby. These have provided so much support and compression right where it's needed. They also make me feel less self conscious when going out, keeps the pouch compressed. I probably will order a size down now that I've lost a descent amount of baby weight. I would highly recommend these. I ordered an XL and my stats at the time were height 5'6 weight 215lbs.

Great for C-section recovery

Loved these underwear after having a repeat c-section for my second baby. I was able to start wearing them less than a week after birth. These really helped to make me feel supported after birth, especially getting in and out of bed. Wish I could have had these after my first child. I would recommend getting pre-pregnancy size or slightly smaller. I was a L/XL before birth and the XL is no longer feeling tight enough at 3 weeks PP. I may need to order the next size down soon.
