SRC C-Section Recovery Shorts

Correct measurement for our garments is crucial. 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 (we find that an Australian XS can equate to a S or even M in American sizes) so we strongly recommend you have someone else take your measurements and use this guide to size yourself up.

Sizing for twin pregnancies is identical to sizing for single pregnancies.

We also have a video for you to reference in terms of measuring yourself correctly here:

Recovery Size Guide 

Do not take your own measurement. Compression garments require accurate fit to function. Be measured in your underwear only. Stand with your heels together and have the person measuring you keep the measuring tape straight. They should place the tape over your hips, pubic bone and bottom at the fullest part. The tape should touch your body at all points but not be pulled tight.

We recommend you measure from 36 weeks for SRC Recovery Shorts and Leggings. 

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:

• Full-length leggings provide the best venous return and are a fashion staple that can be worn like any other pair of black leggings. However, you may need help putting them on for the first time, and they may not be preferable for women in warmer climates.
• Regular (knee-length) shorts can be worn like bike shorts as both an undergarment and outerwear. They provide a slightly better venous return than our Mini length.
• Mini Length Shorts are preferred by many women because they fit perfectly under shorter dresses and are great for hotter climates. They are also the easiest to put on.

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

1. SRC Recovery Shorts & Leggings:

• Purpose: Designed for general post-pregnancy recovery, regardless of whether the delivery is vaginal or by C-section.
• Support Areas: Provides targeted compression to the abdomen, back, pelvis, and perineum
• Usage: 24-hour wearability, providing support during light physical activities and aiding in your recovery process.
• Options: Available in both Regular Shorts, Mini Shorts and Leggings to suit your preference and wardrobe needs.

2. The New SRC C-Section Recovery Garments

These garments have all of the features and benefits of the SRC Recovery Shorts with a few additions, specifically to make them even more suitable and comfortable for C-section births. Naturally, they can also be worn for vaginal births.

Here are the 3 main differences:

• SRC C-Section Recovery Garments are even more comfortable for C-section births with flatlock seams placed in a way to minimise any chance of coming in contact with the C-section wound.
• SRC C-Section Recovery Garments have an extra soft band that minimises the effort required to put on the shorts soon after what is a major abdominal surgery.
• SRC C-Section Recovery Garments have 2 convenient side pockets of ample size to fit most mobile phone models.

SRC Recovery Shorts and Leggings are postpartum leggings that offer several advantages over postpartum belly bands. They treat multiple conditions simultaneously, ensuring greater comfort, and can be worn for longer periods, thereby increasing their efficacy. Belly bands, if worn too tightly, can deactivate muscles and should be used for only 2-3 hours at a time. Conversely, SRC Recovery garments promote continuous muscle activation which supports consistent healing.

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.

Why should I wear SRC Recovery Shorts & Leggings post delivery?

Your body in the first weeks post delivery is losing fluid gained during pregnancy. Research has shown that providing support to a wound or a swollen area reduces swelling and pain therefore aiding healing.Compression in the SRC Recovery garments provide you with greater core stability allowing you to mobilize more readily as they support your upper and lower abdominal muscles, caesarean wound and the perineum.

Can I wear this product during pregnancy?

The SRC Recovery Leggings and Shorts can only be worn for after birth, we do not recommend wearing them during your Pregnancy because of the gentle but sustained compression.

What is the right length for me?

There are 3 different lengths available in the range, with the "right one" being primarily a matter of preference and what you believe will provide the "most wear"

• Leggings give the best venous return and great value for money,especially being a wardrobe staple that can be worn to the gym or to work.
• Knee length gives a better venous return than the Mini.
• Mini Lenght is more suitable to wear under shorts, skirts or dresses
• Many customers continue to wear all of the length products not just to the gym but also for aesthetic reasons under fitted clothing.

How do I work out my size?

You can simply take the information from here:https://www.srchealth.com/size-guide?size=srcrecovery

I'm right in between 2 sizes, which do I choose?

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.

Why do the legs of the garment extend to the knee?

There are several important reasons for this:

• Some women suffer from varicose veins of the upper leg during pregnancy and our research has shown that having the legs finish at the knee provides effective support to these varicose veins.
• The legs are also designed in this way to maximize the compression effect of the lower centre panel.
• Having the leg longer also prevents it from riding up.

How are my SRC Recovery Shorts & Leggings different from a mainstream support short?

Unlike mainstream compression products the proprietary fabrics are designed and tested specifically for our garments. The patent pending design features panels within the garment that have been specially located for recovery post delivery. The fabrics have been specifically developed and exclusively manufactured for SRC Recovery Shorts & Leggings. There has been a structured approach to research, with the garment being tested by women in the days and weeks after childbirth. Collectively this process has been designed to ensure that the garment panels work together to provide you with maximum support and comfort. Finally, the manufacturing has been subject to the highest levels of quality control in a dedicated environment.
