SRC Recovery Mini Shorts: Evidence Based Postpartum Support for Motherhood
SRC Recovery Mini Shorts offer essential postpartum support and pain relief after both c-sections and vaginal deliveries, promoting easier movement in the days following birth. Just as pregnancy challenges your body like a high-endurance sport, speeding up your recovery after delivery is key to a healthier postpartum journey for you and your family.
How SRC Recovery Mini Shorts Help
These garments are designed to aid in the recovery of:
Crafted with anti-chafing fabric and developed in consultation with an obstetrician, SRC Recovery Mini Shorts prioritize comfort and functionality, providing the ultimate in support to help you heal safely and regain mobility post-delivery.
Why Choose SRC Recovery Mini Shorts over postpartum belly bands or maternity wraps?
SRC Recovery Mini Shorts are superior to postpartum belly bands as they provide support for multiple conditions, ensure greater comfort, and can be worn for extended periods, which boosts their effectiveness. Belly bands, on the other hand, can lead to muscle deactivation if tightened too much and should only be worn for short durations of 2-3 hours. SRC Recovery Mini Shorts, however, encourage ongoing muscle activation and aid in consistent healing.

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 delivers True Cross Compression (TCC) as each layer within the panel is cut on a different plane so that no compression is lost at any time during the activity.
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 SRC Recovery Garment’s flatlock seams increase comfort during exercise and prevent chafing and wound aggravation.

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:
Choosing the right compression garment is essential for optimal postpartum recovery. SRC Health offers 2 types of recovery garment options:

To ensure a comfortable fit, it’s important to get the right measurement for your compression garment. As they are medical garments, they may not always correlate to general/fashion clothing sizes. General fashion sizes also vary drastically by country and by brand so we strongly recommend you have a trusted friend or loved one take your measurements and use this guide to size yourself up.
We also have a video for you to reference in terms of measuring yourself correctly. We recommend you measure from 36 weeks for SRC Recovery Shorts and Leggings.
Specially designed by women for women, our postpartum compression garments are crafted to provide support and flexibility for recovering mums without any feeling of restriction. Using smooth, breathable, anti-chafing fabrics, they are designed for prolonged wear without causing irritation, ensuring comfort throughout the day.
Both the shell and the lining of our SRC Recovery garments are also made of 80% polyamide and 20% elastane. With uniquely milled, high-quality fabrics, you can rest assured that they maintain their elasticity and shape even after multiple wears and washes. With this True Cross Compression Technology, each layer of fabric is cut differently, providing consistent and reliable compression during any activity so you never lose the support you need during recovery.
You should not wear SRC Recovery Garments during pregnancy. In fact, you should not even attempt to try them on. SRC Recovery Garments are designed to be worn postpartum, after delivery. On the other hand, SRC Pregnancy Garments are designed to be worn during pregnancy to assist with common pregnancy conditions.
Why should you buy an SRC Postpartum Recovery Garment 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 Postpartum Garments 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.
With SRC Recovery Garments, there’s no risk of deactivating your muscles. On the other hand, postpartum belly wraps pose a risk of deactivating your muscles in various ways:
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 postnatal recovery garments, when you are between sizes, we recommend that you select the size down to achieve the optimal fit due to the likely rapid loss of fluid post-birth.
You can start wearing recovery garments as soon as you feel comfortable having gentle compression post-delivery. For best results and to help reduce swelling and discomfort early on, our research indicates to start wearing them within the first two days post-delivery. It really depends on how you feel and the advice of your healthcare 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 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 a C-section, and if your wound is infected, you can wear the product during the day and remove it during the night to allow additional airflow to the wound until it is fully healed.
You should wear your SRC Recovery Garments for as many hours as you feel comfortable. Your garment can be worn both day and night.
Your SRC Recovery Garments 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. You can also continue wearing them beyond this period to provide support during exercise or simply for aesthetic reasons under fitting 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 Garment day and night for a period of up to 4 months or greater. This has provided significant benefits to many women with this issue.
Yes, it is generally safe to wear compression garments for postpartum recovery every day, provided they are comfortable and not too tight. Ensure they are of the correct size to avoid restricting blood flow or causing discomfort. Listen to your body and take breaks from them if needed.
With the support and comfort they provide during the postpartum period, many mums find postpartum recovery garments worth the investment. These garments are not simply clothing—they are essential aids in the physical recovery process as well as posture enhancement and can help make daily activities more manageable.

Great length. The feel of the outer sports like fabric is nice, the mesh second layer (liner) is ok. I must be shorter in the torso as the mesh layer scrunches up a little and I have to actively smooth it out multiple times when wearing. Difficult to get on and off or sit for lengths of time, like breast feeding (because of the wide elastic at the top - I assume on purpose and will get easier with time). Feels quite supportive and actually gives shape/cinches the waist when wearing. I like that they go all the way up to rib cage to support the upper abs unlike others that stop at the waist. The seam does sit below my C-section scar, but I can see how it has come close to others (mentioned in other reviews). Can only wear for 1-2 hours at a time as I’ve only just started wearing them (4.5 weeks PP). Overall, good. Time will tell if the price was worth it.
These shorts are amazing and have made a huge difference to my postpartum recovery.
I feel less pain (perineum, pelvis & back) & I am able to move better while wearing these shorts.
I was skeptical about purchasing these shorts as they are expensive but they are 100% worth the investment!
I practically live in these shorts and notice a big difference in terms of pain and mobility when they are being washed and I am not wearing them.
We appreciate you highlighting how our product made a significant positive impact on managing perineal pain, pelvic discomfort and back aches, while acknowledging the initial cost concerns. The whole team is grateful for your openness in sharing your initial skepticism, and how wearing our shorts has proven them to be a worthwhile investment that's become an invaluable part of your daily postpartum routine.
We're honored you've found such tremendous value in our Recovery shorts. Wishing you a smooth, healthy recovery ahead! We thank you so much Kristina.
Worth every penny!
I recommend these shorts for mums because it offers good support for the recovering abdomen and perineum for peace of mind and effective recovery. These are great for daily wear, exercise and even under dresses.
We're truly delighted to hear our recovery shorts have provided you with the good support and peace of mind needed during this precious postpartum recovery stage. We appreciate you highlighting their versatility for daily wear, exercise or even under dresses and recommending shorts for humid climates. The whole team values your recommendation to other new mums, and we thank you so much Wan!
