Womens High Waist Cotton Panties C Section Recovery Postpartum Soft Stretchy Full Coverage Underwear(5 Pack)

These postpartum underwear are perfect. The fabric is soft and comfortable, providing the ideal support without feeling tight. I loved the variety of colors and the quality of the pack. They are durable and don’t lose their shape after washing. Highly recommended for postpartum recovery!

I had a kidney transplant 24 days ago. (Thank you. Yes, I’m super happy and grateful!!) I was told my incision would be vertical and to the side of my belly button, but I guess my anatomy demanded differently. My incision is actually horizontal starting at the left side, running between my belly button and pubic bone, and curving up on the right side…about 10 inches across, like a crooked smiley face. 😏 The fact that it was so low made me think of a C-section and that’s why I went searching for C-section panties. I normally wear bikini underwear, but the elastic was hitting right on the incision. Plus, I was kind of hoping for a little support across the front of my belly to kind of “brace” the incision and make it hurt a little less. I saw some other C-section panties that boasted a firm support panel in the front, but it was made with either spandex or silicone. I figured that would be great support, but I was advised to let my incision “breathe” as much as possible, so I opted for the panties made from cotton. (I currently have to travel to the transplant center twice a week. Otherwise I’d just go around sans pants.)Anyway, these look exactly like the pictures. They are really big, lol, “granny panties” except that they fit well and aren’t droopy. But they are, indeed, high waisted. The waist line is nice and soft (the elastic is fully covered) and there is a three inch band across the top. The only problem is the band (which offers a little bit of support) is around the waist and not across the front, or anywhere near the pubic bone. What I’ve been doing is putting them on and then folding down the waistband so that I get a double layer of coverage and a bit of compression on my particular incision. I don’t think it would work for a C-section though.Still, they’re nicely made, very soft, and have a high waist if that’s what you want. They looked so big to me coming out of the package that I thought I’d ordered the wrong size. However, they fit me perfectly around the legs. I had my care partner wash them and dry them in the dryer and they did not shrink at all.I’m 5’4” 135 pounds. The site suggested I buy large and that’s what I got. I’d say they fit perfectly for the style.

I ordered these about a month before my baby was born and tried to wear them while still very pregnant- not a super comfy fit. Nevertheless I brought a pair to wear home from the hospital, and I am so glad I did! Once my baby was born these fit perfectly and very comfortably. Plenty of coverage, and for me it feels like just the right amount of support for my belly as I recover from a c section. I read some other reviews saying these lack support below the waist- I didn’t have the same problem, but after my staples were removed, I was given some pads to put over the incision so maybe those helped supplement the support from the underwear. I’m honestly considering buying them again just to have more pairs. Highly recommend.

I had a c-section 26 years ago, these would have been great for that. However, I needed something comfortable while I healed from a kidney transplant. I know others have shopped for something for that too, so here is my review for that use:A kidney transplant scar is half moon shaped and runs diagonally from a few inches below the navel, over to the side, even with the navel. It's 10-12 inches long. For about 6 weeks, the wound is either glued together (if you are thin) or stapled, (if you are larger). I was glued and as the wound heals, the glue dries up, leaving a hard plastic like rope that underwear bands rub on. you're supposed to just leave it alone until it is very loose and rubs off easily in the shower. I have heard the staples are even more painful. Because of the shape of the scar, any underwear band will rub on it.Solution? I found a great one: low cut underwear with a wide soft band that sits low - about where a c-section scar is, and maternity jeans with a knit band top. I found a regular tee shirt was long enough to cover that band ( I'm 5'9" - most people will have no problem with this). You'll only need them for a couple months, unless your swelling lasts longer, so check out children's consignment stores for them, as they also get little wear during pregnancy.Otherwise, these underwear were very good quality and fit me very well - didn't ride up in the rear like 95% of underwear do, , and the fabric and band are soft and comfortable except on the wound and its glue.

I would go a size up BUT I had a C Section & these have been a huge help with comfort & tummy control.

I bought these thinking they would work well for post laparoscopic hysterectomy but the band actually fell right on my incisions along my belly button line and their compression was not comfortable at all for that reason. I didn’t know what to expect from my surgery so I didn’t realize these wouldn’t work for that.Their sizing was also not as I expected. I bought them large hoping they would be rather loose and they fit more like my regular underwear. If you get these for after a surgery I would plan to go up 2 sizes if you know your abdomen will be sensitive.
