SRC Recovery Shorts FAQs: Sizing, When to Wear and Postpartum Recovery

Below are answers to common questions about SRC Recovery Shorts, including sizing, when to start wearing them and how long they are typically worn during postpartum recovery.

They're medical-grade graduated compression shorts (ARTG 341087) made to support your abdomen, pelvis and lower back in the weeks after a vaginal or caesarean birth. Patented triple-layer support panels apply gentle, even compression across the lower belly and pelvic area, so the parts of you that did the hard work of pregnancy and birth feel held as you move.

That external support can make everyday things — standing, walking, lifting your baby, getting up off the couch — feel steadier while your core gradually rebuilds its own strength. They're thin and breathable enough to wear under normal clothes all day.

They're a support garment, not a treatment. Most women pair them with the guidance of a pelvic health physiotherapist, who can check your recovery and tailor the rest of your plan.

For most women, the shorts can go on within the first few days after birth — once you feel ready to move and it's comfortable. Many find that early support helpful for standing, walking and carrying the baby while everything still feels tender.

After a caesarean, it's worth waiting until the incision area feels comfortable before adding compression, and checking with your obstetrician, midwife or physio about the right timing for you. There's no prize for rushing it — let comfort be the guide.

Most women wear them through the early recovery window — commonly the first 6 to 10 weeks, though some keep going longer if the support still feels good. They're comfortable enough for all-day wear under clothing.

Compression helps most when it's paired with rebuilding strength. A pelvic health physio can guide the pelvic floor and core work that restores things properly over time, and you'll naturally reach for the shorts less as you feel stronger.

Sizes run XXS to XXL, and the right size is based on body measurements (usually waist, hips and upper thigh) rather than your usual dress size — so check the SRC size chart rather than guessing. The compression only does its job if the fit is right: too tight is uncomfortable, too loose won't support.

Your body changes a lot in late pregnancy and the early weeks after birth, so measure close to when you'll start wearing them. If you're between sizes or unsure, our team is happy to help you choose.

You can buy them here at Blossom Pelvic Health, with free delivery across Australia in discreet, plain packaging. We're a physiotherapist-led pelvic health store, so you can get genuine help with sizing and an honest steer on whether these are the right call for your recovery — or whether something else would suit you better.

If you'd like a hand before ordering, just ask. And if ongoing symptoms are part of the picture, a pelvic health physiotherapist can assess you and fold the shorts into a wider recovery plan.
