Your old knickers weren’t made for this
“All of my knickers sit exactly where my scar is.”
“Everything rolls down and bunches under my tummy.”
“The hospital pants did the job. Now I want something that feels like mine.”
It’s the most common thing mums say after a baby — and after a C-section, it can go on for months. Ordinary knickers sit right on the scar line. Shapewear squeezes. Neither was made for the body you have right now.
Designed around the scar, not across it
The waistband sits high, above the navel, so nothing presses or rubs on your section. Soft bonded edges replace thick seams, and the hold is spread evenly around you instead of pushing everything into one place.
- High rise that stays up, even when you sit or bend
- No seam and no elastic on the scar line
High waist
Sits above the navel and above a C-section scar, so the edge never lands on it.
Bonded edges
Smooth, flat edges instead of stitched elastic — nothing to dig in or show through.
360° gentle hold
Even support across the lower tummy, sides and back. Held, not squeezed.
Breathable knit
Soft against healing skin, comfortable all day, and machine washable.
For the weeks, months and years after
Your first everyday pair
From 6 weeks after a vaginal birth, or once your midwife or doctor is happy with your wound after a C-section.
Under everything
Smooth under leggings, jeans and dresses, and it stays put when you sit, bend, lift and feed.
For the tummy that stayed
Many mums still reach for high-waist knickers long after a section. These are made for that, too.
Smooth under a fitted tee. Comfortable all day.
No waistband rolling down under your tummy, no line on the scar, no tugging them back up every time you stand. Just knickers you can forget about.
- Stays up when you sit, bend and lift
- Four colours: black, beige, blue and pink

Everything you’re wondering
Will it touch my C-section scar?
No. The waistband sits high, above the navel, so the edge sits above a typical C-section scar rather than on it. The edges are bonded instead of stitched, so there’s no seam or elastic on the scar line.
When can I start wearing it?
From around 6 weeks after a vaginal birth, or once your midwife or doctor is happy with how your wound is healing after a C-section. If you’re unsure, ask them first.
Is it shapewear or a medical garment?
Neither. It’s a pair of everyday high-waist knickers with a gentle, even hold. It isn’t compression shapewear and it isn’t a medical device — it won’t replace advice from your midwife, GP or physio.
Will it roll down?
It’s designed not to. The high rise and soft, wide waistband stay in place when you sit, bend, lift and feed, instead of rolling under your tummy.
Which size should I order?
Your usual knicker size. If you’re between two sizes, or your baby is under 3 months old, take the larger one. The size guide has waist and hip measurements, and size exchanges are free.
Can I mix colours and sizes in a pack?
Yes. Choose a colour and size for each brief in your pack.
How do I wash it?
Machine wash cool in a laundry bag and dry flat. No tumble dryer.
How long does delivery take?
