How do the Belly Bandit postpartum shorts work?
Belly Bandit’s postpartum recovery shapewear shorts help support weakened and strained core, back, and hip muscles. Plus, our shapewear is super comfortable so you can head out in confidence, day or night.
What is the purpose of postpartum shorts?
Postpartum shorts are specifically designed to do two things: give your body the extra support it needs after delivery and smooth out your silhouette to help you feel confident and comfortable in your body as you return to pre-pregnancy activities.
What colors are Belly Bandit Mother Tucker Shorties available in?
These postpartum shorts are available in two colors — Black and Almond — and we definitely recommend grabbing one of each for added versatility in your wardrobe.
- Black
These sleek black shorts are perfect for lounging at home, running a quick errand or two, or pairing under darker dresses and jumpsuits. - Almond
We love to wear these light beige shorties as subtle postpartum shapewear under just about anything.
How soon after pregnancy can you wear postpartum shorts?
When to start wearing them is entirely up to you, so when you feel the need for the added support and comfort, we've got you! We always recommend consulting with your doctor to see if they have any specific suggestions about how and when to wear your postpartum shorts.
How do I know which size I need?
You can easily find your right size by measuring your waist and hips, then referencing our leggings/bottoms size chart. We recommend measuring yourself post-pregnancy to get the most accurate sizing. However, if you’d like to have a pair of postpartum shapewear shorts ready to go in your hospital bag, then we suggest ordering one size up from your pre-pregnancy measurements.
Are these postpartum shorts lightweight?
Yes — our postpartum recovery shorts are super lightweight. You’re likely to forget you’re even wearing them!
Will these shorts show through clothing?
These postpartum shorts are virtually invisible under clothing. Made out of a lightweight, barely-there material, they’re the perfect base layer for any outfit. Plus, the Mother Tucker Shorties are available in Black and Almond, so they go with just about everything.
