C-section compression shorts and leggings

SRC C-Section Recovery Shorts and Leggings are graduated compression garments listed on the ARTG (341087) and designed to support abdominal and pelvic recovery after surgery. We use “medical-grade” for these garments only, because here the term is backed by an actual listing. Many women begin wearing them in the first days after birth, once their care team gives the nod. Sizing matters more than brand loyalty, so measure before you order. See the full SRC compression garment range, or start with the SRC C-Section Recovery Shorts.

C-section scar care

C-section scar care means looking after the skin around a healed incision, and it starts only once your midwife or GP confirms the wound has closed. Yung Bod silicone strips are ultra-thin, reusable strips designed for use over healed c-section scars, and the C-Section Mama Cream is a softening, moisturising cream for post-delivery skin. The Maternity Belly Band is an abdominal support that may provide gentle compression over the scar area (ARTG 282664, 307513). You'll notice the wording here stays modest: we describe what each product is, rather than promising outcomes its registration doesn't support.

Building your c-section recovery kit

A practical c-section recovery kit covers the things you'll reach for daily in the first fortnight: disposable postpartum underwear with a waistband that sits well above the incision line, witch hazel wipes for perineal cleansing (bleeding happens after a caesarean too), and reusable ice and heat packs for the perineum or breasts. A toilet stool earns its spot as well, raising your knees into a squat position many people find makes bowel movements more comfortable. For the wider postpartum picture, browse our postpartum recovery products.

Physio-led support for caesarean recovery

Blossom Pelvic Health was founded by a physiotherapist focused on pelvic health, and this range is stocked the way a physio would pack a recovery bag: compression sized properly, comfort items you'll actually use daily, and scar care described plainly. Caesarean recovery also overlaps with other kinds of postpartum recovery, so it's worth knowing where else to look. If you're managing abdominal separation as well, see our diastasis recti support; for the other birth path, our vaginal birth recovery range covers perineal care.

C-section recovery questions, answered

Many women start wearing graduated compression in the first few days after a caesarean, once their obstetric team is happy for them to. Start with short wear periods and build up as comfort allows. If you had complications, ask at your postnatal check before beginning.

The strips we stock are ultra-thin, reusable silicone designed to be worn over a healed c-section scar. We deliberately describe them that way rather than as a scar treatment, because we only make claims a product's Australian registration supports. Ask your GP about scar options.

Most women feel noticeably better by six weeks, when the routine postnatal check happens, but full recovery from a caesarean often takes several months. Rest, gentle walking and accepting help all count as recovery work. Your GP or midwife can guide the pace.

Australian guidance suggests avoiding lifting anything heavier than your baby for around six weeks after a caesarean. Bend through your knees rather than your waist, and let your body set the pace: pulling or dragging sensations around the incision mean ease off.

High-waisted styles make a real difference, because the waistband sits above the incision line instead of rubbing on it. Disposable postpartum underwear works well in the first week or two while bleeding is heavier, and soft full-brief styles take over from there.

Recovery shorts are worn like underwear and give continuous, graduated compression around the abdomen and pelvis. A belly band wraps over clothing, adjusts quickly and is easier to put on in the early days. Many women use a band first, then move into shorts.

Because these are intimate and personal-care products, we don't accept change-of-mind returns. Faulty or damaged items are always looked after under Australian Consumer Law. Some items, like SRC garments, have specific exceptions, so check our returns policy for the full detail.
