If you’re pregnant or newly postpartum, chances are you’ve heard other mums, midwives, or physios talking about SRC Pregnancy and SRC Recovery garments. They’ve become incredibly popular across Australia. With so many products on the market, it’s completely normal to ask: “Do I actually need SRC?”

In this post, we are breaking down what SRC garments are, how they work, and whether they would be right for your pregnancy / recovery journey.

What are SRC Pregnancy & Recovery Garments?

SRC is an Australian brand known for its medically designed compression garments, including, especially their pregnancy and recovery range. They’re created in collaboration with health professionals and are loved for their targeted medical-grade compression, comfort, and support during and after pregnancy.

Why Would You Need SRC Garments?

Many mums in our Frankston community tell us that SRC makes their everyday life easier, especially if they’re active, juggling work, caring for older kids, or recovering from birth.

Here’s what SRC can help with:

1. Support for Pelvic Pain (Pelvic Girdle Pain & SIJ Issues)

Pregnancy can place a lot of pressure on your pelvis. SRC Pregnancy garments provide targeted support that can reduce discomfort by stabilising the pelvis.

2. Lower Back Support

If you’re experiencing back pain, especially at the end of a long day, the compression from our pregnancy garments can offer gentle, consistent support where you need it most.

3. Reduced Leg & Vulvar Varicose Veins

Many mums find relief from heaviness, swelling, and varicosities due to the graduated compression in SRC designs.

4. Improved Postpartum Recovery

SRC Recovery garments can help with:

• Core support after birth
• Abdominal muscle separation (DRAM)
• C-section recovery and scar comfort
• Pelvic floor support

They offer gentle, consistent compression that can make moving, lifting, or feeding more comfortable in those first weeks.

Because you can even sleep in your SRC garments, they give you that needed pain relief 24/7. Especially when it comes to recovery, the longer you can wear a product, the more effective it will be.

Are They Worth the Investment?

Most mums who buy SRC tell us the same thing:

“I wish I bought them sooner.”

The garments are durable, comfortable, easy to wear under clothing, and can often be used for multiple pregnancies. Many women also use SRC Recovery Shorts well beyond the initial 6–12 weeks postpartum for added core and pelvic support.
