To get back to her radiant, confident self and be able to focus on her new little one, a new mom should know what to wear after a C-section. Overall, she needs comfortable, convenient clothes and compression garments that are not too tight and make breastfeeding easy.
Post C-section underwear offers just the right amount of comfortable support a new mom needs. For women looking to get back in shape after a pregnancy, post C-section underwear is highly recommended. C-section girdles are also ideal for many other procedures, such as a hysterectomy.
Benefits of C-Section Girdles and Compression Garments
A C-section girdle or compression garment offers new mothers many benefits, such as:
Leonisa’s C-section compression garments are designed specifically for postpartum recovery and are not like other post-surgical shapers. Our C-section girdles have a Velcro system that allows you to adjust the level of control you want at each stage of recovery.
What to Wear Underneath C-Section Girdles
While it’s advised to wear a C-section girdle, there are a few more garments that can assist in your recovery and comfort.
Full-Coverage Underwear
After a vaginal birth or C-section, a new mom’s uterus can shed its lining for several weeks. While bleeding, it’s essential to find comfortable full-coverage panties, period panties or high-waisted underwear to slip beneath your C-section girdle compression garment. Look for a wide non-slip banding that sits above the C-section incision and broad enough to support large postpartum pads. For accidental leaking and spotting, stick with dark colors, too.
