Why SRC Recovery Shorts or Leggings are often the better alternative to a postpartum belly wrap or c-section belly band.

The generic terms such as “belly wrap for postpartum” or “maternity belly band” historically refer to a range of different postpartum support garments that may help alleviate some discomfort after your c-section or vaginal delivery. However, these products should be worn in moderation and with caution to avoid any potential adverse effects.³

01

A c-section belly band or postpartum belly wrap, if worn excessively tight may potentially affect blood circulation, pelvic floor health, bowel function and may cause muscle deactivation of your lower abdominals and back.^1,2 Gentle compression in the SRC Recovery garments avoids muscle deactivation and allows for 24-hour wearability and pain relief.

02

A postpartum belly wrap or c-section belly band do not extend across the perineal area and are therefore unable to treat perineal trauma such as perineal tears and stitches. SRC Recovery garments' gusset panel provides even compression to the entire perineal area to speed up healing.

03

It is recommended that a postpartum belly wrap or c-section belly band are to be worn for a limited number of hours at a time.^1,2 Gentle compression in the SRC Recovery garments avoids muscle deactivation and allows for 24-hour wearability and pain relief.

04

A c-section belly band or postpartum belly wrap are rarely designed to move with your body, which leaves you feeling restricted and require constant readjustment when sitting down or getting up, whilst the SRC Recovery garments feel more like a “second skin”.

05

A postpartum belly wrap or c-section belly band can sometimes be unflattering and uncomfortable especially when worn under fitted clothing. SRC Recovery compression garments are ideal for exercise and for aesthetic reasons under fitted clothing.

06

A number of c-section belly wraps and bands have hooks, loops or velcro which might snag on your clothing. This is not an issue with SRC Recovery Shorts or Leggings.

SRC Recovery Compression Garments were thoughtfully made to help mums speed up postpartum recovery whilst feeling supported, being more mobile and looking good. Unlike belly wraps and c-section belts and bands, you can say goodbye to zippers, hooks, or Velcro that snag your clothes and unflattering fits when wearing your favourite clothes.

SRC Recovery Compression Garments are effective for speeding up postpartum recovery

Designed in consultation with an obstetrician, they utilise patented Anatomical Support Panels that deliver targeted compression for the ultimate comfort and multi-functionality while treating multiple conditions such as:

• C-Section Wounds
• Perineal Trauma
• Episiotomy Wounds
• Abdominal muscle separation (Diastasis Rectus Abdominus Muscle  DRAM)
• Lower back pain

Multi-layered and multi-functional, they are made to move with your body all day.

With multi-layered support panels called True Cross Compression, they provide consistent and anatomically targeted compression to give you freedom to move without the unwanted risks that belly wraps and c-section belts may cause from wrong levels of compression and wearing all day.
