Beyond addressing the conditions mentioned above, it's imperative to safeguard your pelvic floor. Our patented, evidence-based triple-layer gusset panel helps sustain the strength of your pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy, which may lower the risk of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) post-delivery. Additionally, it supports the treatment of existing SUI and POP during pregnancy.
SRC Pregnancy Shorts Mini are made from anti-chafing fabric and were developed with input from an obstetrician to provide the ultimate in comfort and support, making your pregnancy more enjoyable. See below for more information
How do SRC Pregnancy Shorts Mini compare to a belly band or pregnancy belt?
Unlike belly bands, SRC Pregnancy Shorts Mini are designed to address various conditions, ensuring superior comfort that encourages longer wear, thus enhancing their effectiveness. A belly band worn too tightly can lead to muscle deactivation, so it should be used for only short periods of 2-3 hours. In some cases, using SRC Pregnancy Shorts Mini together with a pregnancy belt can offer added benefits.

SRC Pregnancy Garments have been specifically designed to support your ‘baby carrying pelvis’ and reduce the stress placed on it through your pregnancy. This allows you to stay at work for longer, helps you get back on your feet and move around more easily and just generally makes you feel like yourself again.
Patented Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) in the SRC Pregnancy Garments deliver targeted compression, ideal for treating multiple conditions like lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain and mild varicose veins as well as vulvar varicosities.
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 triple layer compression ASP including the gusset panel, have been shown to significantly help with the pressure associated with vulval veins.
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.

This is a question we get asked a lot by women wondering which length and style (Over the Bump or Under the Bump) will be the best fit for their needs. Each garment has very slight variations and more than anything else, it comes down to personal preference for each customer.
Over the bump products do not have any compression over the belly, however, some women prefer to be fully covered to achieve the feeling of extra support. Both styles provide the exact same level of compression and it is up to the individual on what style they would prefer. Here’s our rule of thumb:
Under the Bump:
Over the Bump:

Why should you buy SRC Pregnancy Shorts or Leggings instead of a pregnancy belly band?
SRC Pregnancy compression garments were designed to treat multiple conditions during pregnancy; Low Back Pain, Pelvic Girdle Pain (SIJ & SPD), Sciatic Nerve Pain, and Vulvar Varicosities.
• Pregnancy belly bands simply do not treat all these conditions.
SRC Pregnancy Shorts and Leggings are more comfortable to wear than any pregnancy belly band. Because of this they are more likely to be worn for long periods which increases their effectiveness.
• Most pregnancy belly bands do not move with your body and can feel restrictive requiring constant adjustment when sitting down or getting up.
• Pregnancy belts are not always comfortable or flattering especially if you are wearing them under anything that is fitted or over your clothes.
• Many pregnancy belts have hooks, loops, or Velcro so there is a chance of snagging your clothes.
With SRC Pregnancy Shorts and Leggings there’s no risk of deactivating your muscles.
• Pregnancy belts 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 bands should only be worn for short periods, 2-3 hours to prevent deactivation of your muscles
In some cases, you may benefit from both the SRC Pregnancy Shorts or Leggings and a pregnancy belt. If you have severe symptoms of Pelvic Girdle Pain you can wear the SRC Pregnancy Shorts or leggings all day and night, without causing muscle deactivation. During periods where you need to be on your feet for an extended time, you can combine both, by adding the pregnancy belly band over the top of the SRC Pregnancy compression garment for additional support.
Yes! We think our Pregnancy garments are your perfect sleeping companion. You will feel supported and stable as you sleep, waking up feeling refreshed. The gentle compression does not deactivate your muscles and will assist in minimizing pelvic pain.
You should wear your SRC Pregnancy Shorts or Leggings for as many hours as they feel comfortable. Your shorts or leggings can be worn both day and night.
SRC Pregnancy garments will assist with relieving symptoms of vulvar varicosities, however, for mild varicose veins and leg swelling we recommend the SRC Pregnancy Leggings rather than the Shorts Mini Length.
*Please note: SRC Pregnancy Leggings have a gentle level of graduated compression in the legs. These are suitable for women with mild varicose veins or swelling. This product will not provide enough compression for moderate or severe varicose veins of the legs.
Women often complain that wearing a grade 2 or 3 compression stocking for long periods can be difficult due to them becoming hot and tight. We hear you! That’s why the SRC Leggings were designed with a specific level of compression so that women can wear their compression stockings under the SRC Leggings for a number of hours during the day.
Once the compression stockings have been removed the SRC Leggings will continue to provide mild graduated compression so the the benefit of having worn the stockings is not lost.
SRC Pregnancy Shorts and Leggings have been designed in consultation with a leading Melbourne obstetrician, Dr. Grant Saffer. The targeted anatomical support panels fit perfectly with your natural curves and deliver consistent gentle compression.
The garment provides superior support without any feeling of restriction.
SRC Health has the most extensive and evidence-based maternity compression range in the world that has been designed by women, for women.
We are committed to implementing findings from the latest scientific and medical research into our garments to support women in their maternity journey.
SRC Pregnancy garments are registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration and endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association.
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 so we strongly recommend you have someone else take your measurements and use this guide to size yourself up.
Measure at any time during your pregnancy for SRC Pregnancy Shorts or Leggings.

You can feel the support. They are great!
I have varicose veins on my upper thigh. My compression stockings provide compression right up to where the varicose veins start. These shorts continue the compression the rest of the way and I can really feel the difference.
I'm glad I picked the under belly option: It's been one less layer to pull back over my belly every time I go to the bathroom: It's one less layer on my belly in the heat of summer: It's also great because they are practically invisible (no seem visible) under maternity tops and dresses. I have worn the under jeans as well. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to try the postpartum range.
I took off one star because I found the seem across the upper public area would cause discomfort, itchiness and leave a deep red pressure mark by the end of the day if was sitting much. Even if I carefully ensured my underwear was above the seem to create a protective barrier, it would still hurt by the end of the day. I ended up wearing the shorts over top of another brands maternity support shorts and this solved the issue.
These were a huge help for pelvic girdle pain. I could wear this under jeans and dresses during winter and overtime the low compression does help with pain. Definitely not as immediate as a band would be in terms of pain relief but it’s more comfortable to wear all day than a band. I also like that it was under the bump since I don’t love having something else over my tummy.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and beautiful video Zara. The SRC Team appreciate it.
Great help! Thank you for making these available. I have varicose issues on one leg as well as some vulva varicosity since pregnancy, and the leggings help wonderfully when you are.up and running all day. They feel super light and yet give the support they need.
Around the abdominal area I do find them too tight, even though I am slender. It might just be me. I don't like pressure on my belly at all. I wish there was some low cut ones like the under the belly maternity ones. I absolutely love those and still wear them even after pregnancy, simply because they don't add pressure to the belly.
We appreciate your review, Rebecca! We are glad that you can still wear the Pregnancy Under the bump as you particularly wouldn't want to add pressure to your belly. All the best and thank you so much!
