“I've found these knickers my best purchase post partum. When they first arrived I thought they would be too small, but they are so comfortable and offered so much support around my C section scar. I had to order several more pairs.”
Kim M., verified buyer
“These are so soft and stretchy while providing some light support and compression to a post c-section belly. Love them! I initially bought 2 pairs then went back for another 3 so I can wear them everyday.”
Polly O., verified buyer
“These are so comfortable it's unreal! The material is thick, really soft and very forgiving. Lots of stretch so will work well with post partum bodies and mean they will still fit as your shape changes.”

Questions, answered.
What size should I order?
One size up from your usual knickers. They're cut small, and a pair that's too tight tends to roll down onto the very place you're trying to protect. By dress size, S is 6 to 10, M 10 to 14, L 14 to 18 and XL 18 to 22; on the line between two, take the bigger one. For hygiene reasons we can't take knickers back or exchange them, so check the size guide before you order.
Can I wear them straight after a C-section?
Yes, that's what the high waist is for. It sits above the usual bikini-line incision, so the waistband isn't resting on it, and the fabric is soft enough to wear over a dressing in the first days. If anything rubs or presses on the wound, take them off and mention it to your midwife.
Do I still need maternity pads?
In the first few days after the birth, yes. Bleeding is heaviest then, so wear a pad in them; the high, snug fit holds it in place. As the bleeding eases, many people find the gusset copes on its own.
How are they different from the C-section Knickers?
Our C-section Knickers are low-rise, cut to sit below the incision line. These come up high and sit above it, with a gentle hold over your tummy. Both are the same soft Tencel™ Modal with the same three-layer gusset, so it comes down to where you'd rather the waistband sat.
Can I wear them for periods later on?
Yes, and plenty of people do. The gusset takes light period days and small bladder leaks, and the wide waistband doesn't dig in when you're feeling bloated.
