Low-rise knickers that sit below a C-section incision

After a C-section, some people want their knickers to come right up over the incision and some want them to stay well below it. These are the low-rise pair. The soft, flexible waistband sits low, in a V at the front, and is cut to sit below the incision line rather than across it.

They're 71% Tencel™ Modal, very soft and stretchy, with a three-layer gusset that dries quickly and takes light bleeding and small leaks.

In pregnancy they sit under your bump, so you can wear them before the birth as well as after.

Buy a single pair or a pack of two, three or five.

Questions, answered.

What size should I order?

One size up from your usual knickers. They're cut small, and a pair that's too snug can sit on the scar instead of below it. 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.

Where does the waistband sit?

Low: under the bump in pregnancy, and below the scar line after a C-section. If you'd rather it came up and over your tummy, our Postpartum Knickers have a high waist that sits above the scar, with a gentle hold.

Are these the same as your Under the Bump Knickers?

Yes, it's the same knicker. If you've already worn our Under the Bump Knickers in pregnancy, you know the fit and the size you need.

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 as well. As it eases, many people find the gusset copes with lighter bleeding and small leaks on its own.

Can I wear them for periods later on?

Yes. The gusset takes light period days and small leaks, and they're soft enough to wear every day.

Customers say these knickers are incredibly soft and comfortable, with a high waistband that sits perfectly above the scar without rolling or digging in. The fabric feels gentle on sensitive skin and maintains its shape after repeated washing. Many reviews highlight the thoughtful design that provides good coverage while feeling light and supportive. Users appreciate the quality construction and practical fit for both pregnancy and recovery. Some note the sizing runs slightly snug, and one mentioned the fabric picks up lint occasionally. Overall, customers find these a worthwhile investment for everyday wear and post-surgery comfort.

    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

    Made a real difference: kept their stretch after washing

    I was unsure whether we really needed it, but it has proved its worth. The waistband stretches over my bump without rolling or digging in. They have kept their shape after repeated washing. It has made everyday life that bit easier.

    Nearly perfect

    Needed something uncomplicated and this has done the job. The cut gives good coverage while still feeling light. The shade is a little different from the website photos, but still lovely.
