Intimates Underwear

Belly Bandit maternity underwear and postpartum underwear are made with high-quality, breathable materials designed to wick away moisture. Most of our intimates are made from a blend of nylon, spandex, cotton, polyester, and acrylate and should be washed in cold water and hung to dry.

Belly Bandit offers leak proof underwear, maternity underwear, and supportive postpartum underwear to assist in recovery after childbirth.

For optimum comfort during pregnancy, we recommend under-the-belly underwear like the Maternity Leak Resistant Everyday Undie, Maternity Leakproof Brief, and Maternity Leakproof Thong.

After pregnancy, you’ll likely deal with weeks of postpartum bleeding and discomfort. Belly Bandit’s supportive postpartum underwear like the Postpartum High Waisted Smoothing Brief and Postpartum Leakproof Bikini make recovery easier.

If you’ve had a C-section, Belly Bandit’s C-Section & Postpartum Recovery Undies, C-Section Recovery Briefs, and C-Section Recovery Shorts offer compression to reduce swelling, and are sewn with silver-infused fibers to help minimize odor and bacteria.

Belly Bandit offers leak proof underwear in brief, bikini, thong, hipster and cheeky styles. Depending on the style, our leak proof underwear can hold up to 10 teaspoons of liquid—which equals about 5 regular tampons or 2 menstrual cups’ worth of fluid.

During pregnancy, your underwear needs will vary depending on your comfort level. We recommend under-the-belly pregnancy underwear during the second and third trimesters to keep pressure off your growing belly.

After delivery, you’ll want postpartum underwear that supports your recovery by reducing swelling with compression, and guards against leaks.

As a general rule, it’s a good idea for women to have around 14 pairs of underwear, or a two-week supply. This helps keep laundry under control, especially after your baby arrives.

When buying maternity underwear, it’s a good idea to go up one size at first, and then possibly two sizes as you get into the third trimester. For postpartum underwear, we recommend going up one size from your pre-pregnancy size.

To get the most out of your pregnancy and postpartum underwear, wash with gentle detergent in cold water—either by hand or on a delicate cycle—and hang or lay flat to dry. Avoid fabric softener, hot water, and harsh detergents, especially when caring for your leak proof underwear.

The most comfortable underwear are underwear that fit! That’s why it’s so important to buy underwear for your changing body during, and after, pregnancy. Don’t be afraid to size up, try different styles, and invest in high-quality intimates during these next nine months and beyond.

Belly Bandit’s C-Section & Postpartum Recovery Undies are our best-selling postpartum underwear. These undies offer dual-compression support, Stayput™ technology for a no-roll waist, and are made with a soft and breathable moisture-wicking fabric.
