A soft, high-waisted thong that doesn't show under leggings

Once the heavy bleeding has settled and you're back in leggings or fitted clothes, full postpartum briefs start to show through. This thong has the same soft fabric and high waist as our Postpartum Knickers, without the lines.

The waistband sits high, above a C-section incision rather than across it, with light compression that holds you without digging in. The fabric is 71% Tencel™ Modal, soft and breathable, and there's no tag.

The gusset is triple-layered, anti-leak and quick-drying, for light leaks and light bleeding.

Questions, answered.

When can I start wearing it after the birth?

Once the heavy early bleeding has settled and you feel ready, which for most people is a few weeks in. Until then, full-coverage knickers that hold a maternity pad are more practical, and our Postpartum Knickers are made for that stage.

What size should I order?

They come up small, so take one size up from your usual. The size guide goes by dress size: S is 6 to 10, M 10 to 14, L 14 to 18 and XL 18 to 22.

Is it suitable after a C-section?

Yes, once you're comfortable in underwear with a little compression. The waistband sits above the usual incision line rather than on it; stop if anything rubs or pulls at the scar, and ask your midwife or GP if you're unsure about timing.

How many should I buy?

One first, to check the size. Once you know it fits, a pack of three or five means there's always a clean pair when the washing piles up.

Is it comfortable enough for every day?

That's what it's for. It's soft, with no tag and nothing digging in, and it sits smoothly under leggings and fitted clothes, so it works as everyday underwear long after the postpartum weeks.

Reviews

4.8 out of 5, 144 reviews

Customers say these knickers are soft, comfortable, and provide excellent coverage with a high-waisted design that sits smoothly above the scar. The fabric feels gentle on tender skin while remaining supportive, and the waistband doesn't roll or dig in. Many reviews highlight how the material maintains its stretch through washing and adapts well as the body changes. Users appreciate the smooth seams that don't irritate, and note they sit seamlessly under leggings. Most find them ideal for recovery and everyday wear. A few mention sizing runs small and suggest sizing up, while occasional concerns include lint pickup and fabric durability after washing.

    Really good. My Mum recommended.

    my Mum actually put me onto them she uses them for her menopause and she wasnt wrong these are excellent quality and fit. I didnt size up as the reviews suggested stupidly but tbf they fit fine not to tight guess it depends what fit you want.

    Too small

    I’ve had to take off 2 stars as they run very small. I’m normally a medium but ordered a large. They’re still too small and the seams land on my C-section scar. I’d recommend going up 2 sizes.

    Aside from the bad fitting the product is great, it holds the area well and makes me feel more secure. The material is nice and soft making it very comfortable.

    Will definitely order more but in a larger size

    Happily repurchase in daily use

    The cut gives good coverage while still feeling light. A very worthwhile purchase. After 7 weeks, I am still pleased with it.
