Description

Getting up, lifting your baby and even laughing can feel hard on a fresh C-section wound. These high-waisted shorts give gentle, steady compression across your tummy and pelvis, so your core feels supported while it heals.

The seams are placed to keep clear of the wound, and the waistband is extra soft so they're easier to pull on. There are no zips, buttons or Velcro to fiddle with, and two side pockets hold your phone.

They were developed with input from obstetricians. They are also designed for recovery after a vaginal birth and help with lower back strain.
