When can I start wearing SRC C-Section Recovery Leggings after childbirth?

You can start wearing SRC C-Section Recovery Leggings as early as 2 days after delivery, whether you've had a Caesarean section or vaginal birth. These postnatal compression leggings are designed to support healing and reduce discomfort from day one. Always check with your midwife or healthcare provider if you're unsure when to begin.

Are SRC Recovery Leggings only for C-sections, or can I use them after a vaginal birth too?

While specially designed for C-section recovery, SRC Recovery Leggings are also highly effective after a vaginal birth. They provide support for abdominal separation (DRAM), pelvic floor weakness, lower back pain, and perineal trauma, making them an essential part of your postpartum recovery clothing—whatever your birth experience.

How do I measure myself for SRC postpartum leggings?

For accurate sizing, it’s essential that someone else measures you while you're standing in your underwear. Stand with your heels together and have them wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips, pubic bone and bottom. The tape should touch your skin at all points without being tight. We recommend measuring from 36 weeks of pregnancy to choose the correct size for your postpartum compression wear.

How long should I wear my postpartum recovery leggings each day?

You can wear your SRC postnatal recovery leggings for up to 12 hours a day. They are designed to be worn throughout the day, helping to reduce swelling, improve core stability, and relieve pelvic and lower back pain. For best results, wear them daily for at least the first 8–10 weeks postpartum.

Can I wear SRC Recovery Leggings under normal clothes?

Yes, the discreet design of these maternity compression leggings means they can be worn easily under your everyday outfits. The breathable, lightweight fabric and flatlock seams prevent chafing and irritation, allowing you to move comfortably and confidently throughout your day.

Are SRC C-Section Recovery Leggings suitable for postnatal exercise?

Once cleared by your doctor or midwife, these postpartum support leggings are ideal for light exercise, walking, and low-impact movement. They help activate the pelvic floor and core muscles, offering gentle compression and support as you return to activity during your postnatal recovery.

SRC Health C-Section Recovery Leggings – Comfortable Compression for a Stronger Recovery

Recovering from a C-section or vaginal birth? Whether you’re managing a sore scar, weak pelvic floor, or separated abdominal muscles, your body deserves gentle, effective support. The SRC Health C-Section Recovery Leggings have been developed with input from obstetricians and physiotherapists to help you heal, move with ease, and feel confident as you care for your baby.

These award-winning postnatal leggings provide targeted medical-grade compression to key recovery zones: your core, pelvic floor, and lower back. Whether you’re lifting your little one, going for a walk, or simply resting, SRC’s intelligent design helps ease discomfort and supports your body where it needs it most.

Support You Can Feel

The Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) in the SRC Leggings provide consistent, therapeutic compression to:

Support and protect C-section and perineal wounds
Help treat abdominal muscle separation (Diastasis Recti / DRAM)
Reduce pelvic floor weakness and lower back pain
Minimise swelling and improve mobility during recovery

All while encouraging better core activation and stability - essential for getting back on your feet with confidence.

Designed for Real Life – Soft, Seamless & Practical

Postnatal recovery is demanding. That’s why SRC C-Section Recovery Leggings are designed to move with you and keep you comfortable all day long:

Breathable, anti-chafe fabric – soft against sensitive skin
Flatlock seams – no rubbing, irritation, or pressure on scars
No zips, Velcro or buttons – just pull on and go
Wide, gentle waistband – offers comfort without digging in
Handy pockets – perfect for keeping small essentials close by

Wear them under your clothes or as stylish activewear—these leggings are as functional as they are supportive.

Find Your Perfect Fit – Accurate Measuring Matters

To get the most from your SRC Leggings, correct sizing is essential. Compression only works if it fits properly - too loose and it won’t support; too tight and it may feel restrictive.

Don’t measure yourself – have someone help you while you stand upright in your underwear
Stand with your heels together
Place the tape around the fullest part of your hips, bottom, and pubic bone
The tape should be snug but not tight - touching the skin at all points, and level all the way around

We recommend taking measurements from 36 weeks of pregnancy. If you're between sizes, choose the smaller size for firmer compression. You’ll find a detailed sizing guide on the product page.

Whether you're six days or six weeks postpartum, give your body the support it deserves - naturally, gently, and effectively.
