Size guide
Find your size
The briefs run true to size and stretch a lot, so take your pre-pregnancy size. Snug is what you want: light support in the first weeks, and the same pair still fits once your belly settles.

The first knickers that do not fight you
Hospital mesh pants get you through day one. After that you want something that stays up, covers everything, and does not press on the one part of you that is trying to heal. That is the whole brief in one sentence.
How the pocket works
Cold for the first days, warm when the ache sets in.
Chill or warm the pack
Twenty minutes in the freezer, or a few seconds in the microwave.
Slide it into the pocket
The front pocket holds it flat against the area that needs it.
Get on with your day
Hands free, nothing to hold in place, nothing on show.
Why not just wear your old knickers

One brief for the day, one in the wash
Nobody recovers on a single pair. Most mums order the twin pack so there is always a clean one ready, because the first weeks do not leave much room for laundry planning.
- Wash at 30°C, wear tomorrow
They hold their shape wash after wash - Pairs with the therapy pack
Cold for the first days, warm when the ache sets in - Black or nude
Nude disappears under leggings, black hides everything else - Still good at week 12
These are not a one week purchase

“I ordered one pair, then ordered two more the same week. They are the only thing I wore for a month.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Order the size you wore before pregnancy. The fabric has a lot of give and a high waistband, so there is no need to size up unless you prefer a looser fit.
Yes. The waistband is designed to sit above a typical C-section scar rather than across it, which is the main reason mums choose these over ordinary knickers.
Yes. The gusset is full width and holds a standard maternity pad without bunching.
Our Perineal Hot & Cold Therapy Pack. It slides in flat and stays put, so you can use it hands free.
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. Avoid fabric softener, which reduces the stretch over time.
Nude is the better choice under light or thin fabrics. Black is the one most mums live in at home.
