SRC Restore garments can be worn in conjunction with any treatment from your pelvic health specialist
For best results wear day and night for as many hours as you can,
Through the use of a patented Anatomical Support Panel, specifically the gusset panel, the SRC Restore garment provides continuous even compression to the entire perineal area to assist with improving the symptoms of bladder and uterine prolapse
The garments have been shown to help with symptoms of mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence
Continuous compression to the perineum has been said to activate pelvic floor muscles through a possible proprioceptive feedback loop
Activating pelvic floor muscles positively influences their strength and their ability to support bladder and uterine function.
Wearing the garment and combining it with a women’s health physio program should improve symptoms faster.

Did you know that:
According to the World Health Organization, Stress Urinary Incontinence is a global issue affecting millions with similar incidences across different populations, with massive economic and intangible costs.
Over a 3-month period, 50% of women aged 45-59 years of age experienced some degree of mild, moderate, or severe urinary incontinence and
Urinary incontinence affects up to 37% of Australian women.
According to the Continence Foundation of Australia, over half of all women who have had a child have some level of prolapse.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (bladder and uterine prolapse) symptoms include:
feeling like something is pushing down
feeling like there’s a foreign object in your abdomen
a weak bladder, needing to urinate (pee) often, or difficulties urinating
Do you know what stage of SUI stress urinary incontinence or bladder prolapse you have? Regardless of the stage please see a health care professional and refer to the below table to see whether SRC Restore Uterine Prolapse and Continence treatment Garments for Women may assist these conditions.
Stages of Urinary incontinence3
Stage I Light, urine loss quantity maximally until 10 g (10 mls)/24 hour Stage II Moderate, urine loss quantity of 11 to 50 g (11-50 mls)/24 hour Stage III Heavy, urine loss quantity over 50 g (50+ mls)/24 hour
The four categories of uterine prolapse are1
Stage 1 Uterus is in the upper half of the vagina Stage 2 Uterus has descended nearly to the opening of the vagina Stage 3 Uterus protrudes out of the vagina Stage 4 Uterus is completely out of the vagina
Grades of bladder prolapse (cystocele) are2
Stage 1 Bladder protrudes a little way into the vagina Stage 2 Bladder protrudes so far into the vagina that it is close to the vaginal opening Stage 3 Bladder protrudes out of the vagina
The SRC Fabric Technology:
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.
