Designed in conjunction with a women's health physiotherapist, our signature postpartum recovery shorts will assist in reducing swelling and muscle soreness after delivery, as well as provide core support for postnatal exercise.

Our postpartum recovery shorts are also versatile. Wear them under your clothes as a support garment or wear them on their own. So, whether you’re heading back to work, wanting everyday support or attending a formal occasion, you can feel safe and secure that your recovery shorts have you covered.
