** Please refer to sizing information prior to ordering as sizing is strictly based on measurement of the hips and may differ to your regular clothing or underwear size. Speed up your post birth recovery with SRC Recovery Leggings. Enjoy the support to move freely and make lifting, feeding, bathing and caring for your baby much easier. Recommended by Obstetricians, Women's Health Physios and Midwives for their ability to improve mobility and pelvic function. Anatomical support panels deliver targeted medical grade compression ideal for treating pereineal trauma, C-section wounds and diastsis recti or abdominal separation. The light weight, wicking fabric is breathable and keeps you comfortable, dry and cool even in warmer weather. Customised and long lasting with the ability to stretch and recover after wearing and washing. These leggings are also ideal for exercise and everyday wear after the initial 10 week recovery period.
HOW IT WORKS SRC Recovery garments provide you with increased stability and allow you to move more freely post-delivery, making lifting, feeding, bathing and caring for your baby much easier. With no adjustable buttons, velcro or zips, the Recovery garments are like a second skin. There’s no need to constantly adjust while you’re wearing them. Recommended by health care professionals for improving mobility and pelvic muscle function postpartum, these garments have become a must-have inclusion in hospital bags of women the world over. Patented Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) in the SRC Recovery garments deliver targeted compression, ideal for treating multiple conditions like c-section wounds, perineal trauma and episiotomy wounds, abdominal muscle separation and lower back pain. They provide support to the pelvic area through gentle yet constant compression, activating muscles and encouraging core stability, reducing swelling and muscle fatigue. The ASP deliver True Cross Compression (TCC) as each layer within the panel is cut on a different plane so that during activity no compression is lost at any time. The research and development of our fabric was extensive as we wanted to ensure that it provided support and comfort with no feeling of restriction. Our uniquely milled fabric goes through rigorous independent testing to ensure that it is of the highest quality and can stretch and return to its original shape consistently after wash and wear to provide you with optimal performance and a longer lasting garment. To make sure we deliver this we decided to test our fabric against one of the leading compression brands in the marketplace to assess whether the compression properties were sustained after multiple washes and how this compared to the other brand. We subjected the fabric to 100 wash cycles followed by an extension test. Our fabric not only retained its original size and shape (against the competitor which shrunk significantly) but also retained the same high level of compression at the conclusion of testing. The Recovery garment’s flatlock seams increase comfort during exercise, prevent chafing and wound aggravation.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES IN COMPRESSION LENGTHS/STYLES? This is a question we get asked a lot by women wondering which length will be the best fit for their needs. Each length has different features and benefits and, ultimately, it comes down to personal preference for each customer in what they will get the most wear from:
You should not wear SRC Recovery Shorts or Leggings during pregnancy. In fact, you should not even attempt to try them on. SRC Recovery Shorts or Leggings are designed to wear postpartum, after delivery. SRC Pregnancy Shorts or Leggings are designed to wear during pregnancy to assist with common pregnancy conditions. Why should you buy SRC Recovery Shorts or Leggings instead of a postpartum belly band? SRC Recovery compression garments were designed to treat multiple conditions during the postpartum period; Abdominal Muscle Separation, Perineal Tears and stitches, C-Section wounds, Sciatica and Low Back Pain. Postpartum belly bands simply do not treat all these conditions. SRC Recovery Shorts and Leggings are more comfortable to wear than any belly wrap after pregnancy. Because of this they are more likely to be worn for long periods which increases their effectiveness. • Most postpartum belly wraps do not move with your body and can feel restrictive, requiring constant adjustment when sitting down or getting up. • Belly wraps after pregnancy are not always comfortable or flattering especially if you are wearing them under anything that is fitted or over your clothes. • Many postpartum belly wraps have hooks, loops, or Velcro so there is a chance of snagging your clothes. With SRC Recovery Shorts or Leggings there’s no risk of deactivating your muscles. • Postpartum belly wraps rely on your ‘judgement’ to get the right level of compression when tightening it. Doing it up too tight and you risk muscle deactivation. • There’s also the risk of compromising blood circulation, negatively impacting your pelvic floor and bowel function if worn too tightly or for too long. • Belly wraps after pregnancy should only be worn for short periods, 2-3 hours to prevent deactivation of your muscles Q. CAN YOU WEAR SRC RECOVERY SHORTS DURING PREGNANCY?
Q: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A POSTPARTUM BELLY BAND OR BELLY WRAP AFTER PREGNANCY AND THE SRC RECOVERY SHORTS OR LEGGINGS?
Yes, absolutely! You should wear your SRC Recovery garments for as many hours as they feel comfortable. They can be worn both day and night. With recovery compression garments, when you are between sizes, we recommend that you select the size down to achieve the optimal fit due to likely rapid loss of fluid post birth. Begin wearing your SRC Recovery Shorts & Leggings as soon as you feel comfortable. For best results our research indicates to start wearing them within the first two days post delivery. It really depends on how you feel and advice of your health care practitioner. Most women put them on around the 36-48 hour mark post delivery, in the case of c-section maybe a little longer, as any straining is definitely contraindicated. You will most likely need some assistance putting them on the first few times. Most midwives and hospital physios know our product and should be able to assist you. If at any stage you feel pain, please take them off. The breathable lining and fabric will not impede healing in any way. In case of C-section - if your wound is infected, you can wear product during day and remove during the night to allow additional airflow to the wound until fully healed. You should wear your SRC Recovery & Leggings Shorts for as many hours as they feel comfortable. Your Shorts or Leggings can be worn both day and night. Your SRC Recovery Shorts & Leggings have been designed for use in the first 8-10 weeks after delivery but can and should be worn for as long as they provide benefit. Many women continue to wear the garment long after the initial healing stage, for both exercise and for aesthetic reasons under fitted clothing. We have many women ask us this same question. We recommend an individualised Clinical Pilates program designed specifically to your needs by your Women’s Health Physiotherapist and combining that with wearing SRC Recovery Garme day and night for a period of up to 4 months or greater. This has provided significant benefit to many women with this issue.Q. CAN I SLEEP IN MY RECOVERY GARMENT?

I bought these after the birth of second baby. They are amazing. They fit perfectly and they took away my post natal pain. My pelvis and back has been so sore and heavy and after just one day in these I felt better. I won't be taking them off. Well worth the money.
These tights made me feel human again after having had an emergency c section with post surgical complications. I started wearing them about 5 weeks post partum and my pelvis pain improved immediately. They are wonderfully firm but not constrictive. I wear them most days because it makes my body look and feel a whole lot more like my pre-baby self. Highly recommend. I am usually a size 16 and the XL fits perfectly as per the measurement guide.
I bought these after having my twins. They came highly recommended by my physio. I measured 104/105cm and was glad I went down a size as advised. A perfect firm fit. Helped reduce swelling and gave me support after my c section. I wear them like normal active wear. Highly recommend.
