Postpartum Shapewear

It’s recommended to use moderation when it comes to wearing tight undergarments. Some experts suggest only wearing it for special occasions and not every day. There are some health risks from clothing that constricts your body, but not all shapewear is constricting or tight. If you notice any discomfort from your shapewear, you should stop wearing it.

For new mothers, shapewear is an excellent way to help manage pain after delivery. The compression of a girdle or belt can help manage lower back pain, cramping, and pelvic pain when used consistently. It can also help new mothers feel more confident and like themselves quicker.

You can wear shapewear right away after birth. For belly bands, most moms use compression wraps like the Postpartum Luxe Belly Wrap for up to 12 weeks postpartum. You can use with or interchange the Belly Wrap with other supportive shapewear like our Mother Tucker® Postpartum Compression Leggings.
