High Waisted Postpartum and Maternity Underwear

These are soft and comfortable. After a week in the hospital wearing mesh disposable panties, putting these on made me feel so much more human. The rise is high enough that they don’t bother my c-section incision and they’re a little wider in the gusset than most underwear so they hold a post-partum pad in place more securely and prevents leaks. The lace waistband is very soft and doesn’t bind at all, which is good for comfort and more flattering than a tighter band on a squishy post-part in belly. The style is not exactly drop-dead sexy but they have pretty detailing and are nice colors, and generally are a vast improvement on your standard granny panties. The only downside is that the fabric and lace are so soft that I don’t think they’ll last very long. The lace has already started to fray a bit after just a few weeks of wear (I bought the five pack, so I am wearing them only about once a week each) and the fabric, while very comfy, is so soft and thin I can’t imagine it will hold up in the long term. Fortunately, they don’t need to last forever, just for this healing period. In short, if you’re having or had a c-section, these panties are a nice little luxury to make the recovery more pleasant.

I am scheduled for my second C-section due to complications with my first birth. So I was looking for underwear that are comfortable and will come above my new caesarean scar. Once you are back to wearing normal underwear after a c-section, you definitely want to keep underwear and pants from rubbing that area for at least 2-3 months or more. With my first delivery I loved the Motherhood underwear. They were cotton, comfortable and didn’t rub my scar. They no longer sell these underwear from Motherhood so with my surgery coming I was on the search for new underwear. I seen the reviews for these and decided to try them. I love Kindered Bravery nursing/ pumping bras and knew they were a good brand but didn’t know how these underwear would do. I was afraid they would be itchy and tight around the legs. These arrived quickly to my door. The material was very soft. They stay above my original scar without rolling down. They are not tight around the legs or itchy. These are perfect for my new journey to become a second time mom. I plan on ordering a second pack to have multiple pairs of underwear for the next few months while I recover.

The color and fit of these is great! I wore them post c section and it was so comfortable without feeling frumpy. Honestly, it’s been a year and I still reach for them on days when comfort is high priority. I only took a star off because they’re thinner than I anticipated and have had some fraying and obvious wear (but again, a year of usage). This would likely be less severe if I washed them separately on a delicate setting but I tend to wash all my clothes together.

*** update *** I am a month into my cesarean healing (popped stitches and slowly healing from inside out) and I couldn’t be more grateful to have these soft, comfortable, pretty underwear. I wash my underthings in a lingerie bag and line dry; these have held up well to frequent washing. I am 7 lbs away from my ore-partum weight of 140 lbs and I am back to order a smaller size because of how wonderful they feel. I don’t expect underwear to last forever, but 5 pair of awesome panties for the price of 1 uncomfortable VS brand thong is a BARGAIN! I’m so glad I bought these for my hospital bag. Sadly, I had another cesarean delivery. Happily, I was prepared with the right underwear! These are incredibly soft and have generous tuchus coverage. When not pregnant I am very pear shaped; very large hips. These fit! Who wants a wedgie while they are caring for a newborn? They also have a generous gusset, which accommodates a large size pad easily. They come up high enough to not interfere with my incision and the lace makes me feel pretty while I’m wearing them. That’s a tall order for a pair of post partum panties! They have only been washed twice (once before wearing and once this first few days home) and I line dry my delicates, so I can’t speak to how well they will hold up. If they get me through my incision healing time they are worth every penny!

These are fine. They function as advertised - they are comfortable and non-binding, and are cut high enough to not have the waistband sit on a C-section incision. That is kind of it though. I have found that the waist band slides down continuously, even when going for a gentle walk, and then it ends up right on my incision and irritates it. This is exactly what I was hoping they would not do. The fabric is stretchy, and feels fine on the skin, but is not especially soft. I have been machine washing them on cold and tumble drying them, and the lace is pilling and fraying and starting to go on most pairs. I expect these to continue to disintegrate, and they are really only good for times when there is limited to no activity. The Jockey women's supersoft brief is much better postpartum underwear.

I'm 5 years postpartum lol, but these are my favorite underwear. My originals from right after having a baby are still going strong, and I just reordered more to replace all my other inferior underwear. These are lightweight, comfortable, durable, and don't give much VPL. I love that they don't give me a muffin top or a wedgie, and they have pretty lace. They don't look like granny panties. I hope they never stop making them!

I’ve been using this underwear since 34 weeks of pregnancy, and I feel so much better! It’s soft, high-waisted, stretches nicely, and provides plenty of room for a daily pad. I finally gave up trying to squeeze into my pre-pregnancy lingerie (and my husband’s boxers!) — these are just so much more comfortable. That said, they do look quite large — definitely what I’d call “granny panties” back in my childhood — and the comments about the lace shredding are accurate. You’ll find a few lace threads or tiny pieces on the floor or fabric. Still, I’m giving them 5 stars because the comfort far outweighs those small issues. Highly recommend for late pregnancy!

I purchased these for extra support after having an unexpected c-section. I wanted something not hideous looking but practical. I own two Kindred Bravely nursing bras, and since I was impressed with their quality and such, I figured that their undies would be the way to go. Initially, I loved these. They were exactly what I was seeking. I'm glad that I didn't write a review right away because my opinion has changed since that introduction to the product. My intial experience pros: - The high waste wasn't bothersome to my swollen abdomen, as was a concern of mine. - They didn't bother my healing incision in the least, also a concern. - They gave me incredible support, and if you've ever had a c-section, you know that extra support is of high value. - The material is very soft and comfortable. My experience cons: - After first wash both purple pairs if panties I received had little holes above the center lining. This was a huge disappointment. - The panties seem to be breaking down already. I've only had these for about a month now and I've noticed that the elasticity seems to already be breaking down, which defeats my purpose for purchasing these altogether. The fabric itself isn't as soft either and also seems to be breaking down. **Note: I washed these as directed and own a brand new washer and dryer.** - The high waste now rolls down after wearing them for 30 mins+. This is extremely bothersome because it rests on my incision, which defeats the purpose if owning these postpartum panties since they now rest where my typical underwear do. My experience conclusion: In less than a months time, all the pros to these undies disintegrated. The products purpose ended up being it's downfall, and through a short period of time, it's pros become it's cons. In my opinion, this product isn't not worth the price tag. I'm extremely disappointed that I have a set of undies that are essw totally useless and will be thrown away after only owning them for such a short time. I feel like the quality of these are comparable to any non-name-brand.company's postpartum undies. While they are superior when it comes to taking care of tatas, they need to improve the quality of their undies.

My mom’s cancer caused her to accumulate fluid (ascites) which bloated her abdomen to the point of extreme discomfort. She was a tiny 5’ 100lb lady and all of a sudden her underwear was far too small at her waist. Then she had to get a permanent drain installed to help with her ascites and that was patched to her side exactly at her underwear line. Going through chemo, symptoms of stage IV metastasized cancer, worrying about pulling on a newly installed tube, etc AND having uncomfortable underwear, which by itself is THE WORST, was grinding her down. I found this brand on reddit threads after thinking to look for maternity wear. This was the softest, stretchiest, but also most easily cleaned underwear. I could see the immediate relief my mom had the moment she put them on. They were really gentle on her drain attachment, covering over it and protecting it even. They’re super functional and stretchy to accommodate different proportions. The lace is pretty, cut well designed, and colours lovely. All while being pretty sturdy. Tossing them in the wash in a laundry bag protected them enough through many wears and soiling. No holes or unraveling. They gave my mom her dignity and comfort back through the worst time of our lives. Now I, a pretty average sized 5’5” 125lb 29yo, can still wear them on comfy days and they fit me too. Thank you. - a grateful daughter

I bought this product for postpartum. I haven’t delivered yet, but tried this after being fed up with the discomfort of my panties rolling down my bump. And this is super comfortable! It covers my bump till my navel, doesn’t roll down. I don’t feel like wearing my regular panties any longer! I do see some threads coming out from lace after few washes, but it doesn’t bother me much.

This product is soft and snugged as expected. Probably the best post Partum undies I have now. While I'm still recovering from birth, my pads stays in place. Very comfortable and I highly recommend.

Nach dem Kaiserschnitt hab ich nach die Unterhosen gesucht, die so gut sitzen und die op-Spuren verstecken :-) hab hier gefunden und bin sehr zufrieden... Seit mehr als Jahr sind die immer noch wie neu.

High Waist Postpartum Underwear & C-Section Recovery Maternity Panties are super soft and smooth on the skin, even the lace. They fit one size smaller but they're so stretchy that they're not binding. The Panties don't ride up in the back. They're very attractive and feminine. I'm using them as normal everyday wear. Good value for the price. Addendum 2020: They were perfect after hernia surgery. The elastic around the leg openings shrunk a bit after three years. I'm ordering more.
