Postpartum Recovery Underwear

The best postpartum underwear are the ones that offer comfort, support, compression, and protection for your C-section incision. Our leakproof postpartum underwear are made from a nylon-spandex blend, with several layers of absorbent lining that wick away moisture and keep you feeling dry, clean, and fresh. Both our C-Section Recovery Briefs and our C-Section & Postpartum Recovery Undies are made from a breathable, moisture-wicking fabric and silver-infused yarns that help combat odor and bacteria.

Postpartum underwear are specially designed to help support your recovery after giving birth, whether you had a vaginal or C-section delivery. Our collection of postpartum panties, briefs, corset-style undies, and other styles give you plenty of choices after baby, whether you’re looking for compression, comfort, or leak protection.

When you start wearing postpartum underwear will depend on the type you choose. Our leakproof postpartum underwear is designed to help with postpartum bleeding and bladder leaks—two issues you might encounter after delivery—and can be worn as soon as you like. Our C-section recovery underwear options (both the briefs and the undies) can be worn as soon as you’re comfortable. Some moms need a bit more time for their C-section incision to heal before compression is tolerable, while others want that extra support and cinched feeling soon after delivery.

Many new moms are surprised by just how much—and how long—bleeding can occur after delivery. (We’re talking weeks here!) Having leakproof postpartum underwear on hand after you give birth means you’ll have a comfortable alternative to adult diapers and postpartum mesh underwear. Bonus: Our postpartum panties look and feel just like your everyday undies!

You can wear our leakproof postpartum underwear until your postpartum bleeding stops, which can be anywhere from a few days to six weeks. We offer a range of absorbency options to meet your unique needs; our lightest pair absorbs up to a light pantyliner’s worth of liquid, while our most absorbent undies can handle up to 10 teaspoons of liquid.

Because postpartum bleeding can last for weeks, we recommend stocking up on several pairs so you can do a little less laundry—especially in those early days with your little one! You may also want to have a few different absorbency options available so you can swap out as bleeding decreases.

Regular underwear isn’t made to deal with the bladder leaks and postpartum bleeding that can happen after childbirth. Our leakproof postpartum underwear is designed to keep you comfortable, clean, and dry by wicking moisture away from your body and sealing it in with Leak-Loc® edges.

We offer three unique options for postpartum underwear: a super-light absorbency high-waisted brief, a heavy absorbency bikini, and super-heavy absorbency hipster-style panties. Depending upon how light or heavy your postpartum bleeding may be, there’s a pair that will work for you!

We have plenty of postpartum underwear options for our C-section mamas! We think you’ll love our C-Section Recovery Briefs, which protect your incision and can help reduce swelling and discomfort after delivery, as well as our C-Section & Postpartum Recovery Undies, which offer firm compression to support your core muscles and stabilize your mid-section during recovery.

Well, we’re a little bit biased here, but we think the best postpartum underwear are the ones that look and feel like your everyday undies, but work overtime to help with postpartum bleeding and bladder leaks. That’s why we created three unique styles—from bikinis to hipster briefs—that blend comfort with smart technology that keeps you clean and dry day and night.

We don’t carry mesh postpartum underwear, because we think postpartum panties shouldn’t have to look or feel like a diaper to be comfortable and functional. 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!

Our postpartum underwear runs true to size, so if you’re buying after giving birth, refer to the size chart on the product page and choose a size according to your current measurements.
