Choosing the best postpartum underwear isn’t usually a priority for new moms. If you’re anything like me, for instance, you probably just assumed you’d hop back into your pre-pregnancy panties.
Most women will continue to experience postpartum bleeding and soreness for up to six weeks after birth. If you choose to buy postpartum underwear, you’ll probably want to wear them throughout this time.
These products are soft, stretchy, wicking, and
mesh-free. They do require a pad but will keep you feeling comfortable in those exhausting first days as a new parent.
Look, we get that mesh undies aren’t going to be hitting the pages of Vogue magazine any time soon, but when it comes to postpartum comfort, these disposable postpartum underwear are bringing their A-game.
Suppose you’re looking to combine a quest for comfortable postpartum underwear with interest in belly binding after childbirth.
In that case, this set of postpartum compression underwear from Leonisa is exactly what you’re looking for.
