C-Section Recovery Must-Haves: How We Designed the Perfect Postpartum Underwear
Recovering from a C-section is no small feat. As a mom of five and the founder of Rose Maternity Co., I know how essential the right support is during postpartum recovery—especially after major surgery like a C-section. That’s why I set out to design postpartum underwear that truly works for every mom, including those healing from a C-section.
From consulting with other moms to testing every feature, here’s the story behind our RoseRelief™ Postpartum Recovery Undergarment and why it’s a game-changer for C-section recovery.
The Inspiration: My Own Postpartum Experience
When I started Rose Maternity Co., I was coming off my own postpartum journey. After five pregnancies, I knew firsthand how challenging recovery could be—whether it was vaginal or C-section delivery.
But when I looked for postpartum products designed with C-section moms in mind, I found a serious gap in the market. Most postpartum underwear wasn’t made to accommodate the unique needs of moms healing from incisions, swelling, and the physical strain of surgery. I knew there had to be a better way, so I got to work.
Listening to Moms: Building a Product That Works
To create the RoseRelief™ Postpartum Recovery Undergarment, I knew my own experience wasn’t enough. I consulted moms from all walks of life—especially those who’d had C-sections. Their insights shaped every detail of our design, from the materials to the functionality.
What I learned:
- Many moms said traditional postpartum underwear tugged on their incision site, causing discomfort or even pain.
- They needed light tummy support to ease the strain while their muscles healed.
- A pocket for ice packs near the incision was a must to help with swelling and pain relief.
Designed for C-Section Recovery
Here’s how the RoseRelief™ Postpartum Recovery Undergarment was designed to address these needs:
-
Gentle on the Incision
The waistband is soft and sits high enough to avoid tugging on your incision. No more irritation or pulling—just a smooth, comfortable fit that supports healing. -
Support Where You Need It
Many moms told us how difficult it was to hold their tummy up post-surgery. Our underwear offers light compression that provides support without feeling restrictive, giving you the extra help you need during recovery. -
Cooling Relief
We included a patent-pending pocket for ice/heat packs so moms can easily soothe swelling or discomfort around the incision. Just slide the pack in, and you’re good to go. -
Designed with All Moms in Mind
While we focused on C-section recovery, our underwear is versatile enough to work for vaginal births too. It’s soft, stretchy, and designed to grow (and shrink) with your postpartum body.
Other C-Section Recovery Essentials
In addition to supportive underwear, here are a few other items I recommend for moms recovering from a C-section:
- Ice Packs or Heat Pads: These are lifesavers for managing swelling and discomfort. The RoseRelief™ underwear’s pocket makes it easy to keep them in place.
- Postpartum Belly Support Band: Helps with abdominal support and posture as your muscles heal.
- Gentle Skin Care Products: Use unscented, soothing lotions or creams to keep your skin moisturized without irritation.
- Healthy Snacks and Hydration: Recovery takes energy, so keep water bottles and nutrient-dense snacks within reach.
- Easy-Access Clothing: Loose-fitting pants or dresses that don’t press on your incision will be your go-to wardrobe staples.

Recovering from a C-section is a journey, but having the right tools and support can make all the difference. That’s why we poured so much thought into designing the RoseRelief™ Postpartum Recovery Undergarment—to give moms like you the comfort and care you deserve.
