SRC Postpartum Recovery Leggings
Product Description:
SRC Postpartum Recovery Leggings: Evidence Based Postpartum Support for Safer Healing
SRC Postpartum Recovery Leggings offer vital support and pain relief following c-sections or vaginal deliveries, enabling greater freedom of movement during postpartum recovery. Pregnancy is comparable to extreme endurance sports in terms of the physical demands it places on your body. Accelerating recovery after childbirth, the culmination of this intense journey, is essential for a healthier motherhood experience for you and your family.
Benefits of SRC Recovery Leggings
These leggings are designed to assist in the recovery of:
- C-section wounds
- Perineal trauma
- Episiotomy wounds
- Abdominal muscle separation (Diastasis Rectus Abdominis Muscle - DRAM)
- Lower back pain
- Pelvic floor muscle weakness
These postpartum leggings are designed with anti-chafing fabric and developed in consultation with an obstetrician, SRC Recovery Leggings emphasise support and functionality postpartum, providing necessary relief to facilitate healing and promote mobility post-delivery.
SRC Postpartum Recovery Leggings vs. Postpartum Belly Bands
SRC Recovery Leggings are postpartum leggings that offer several advantages over postpartum belly bands. They treat multiple conditions simultaneously, ensuring greater comfort, and can be worn for longer periods, thereby increasing their efficacy. Belly bands, if worn too tightly, can deactivate muscles and should be used for only 2-3 hours at a time. Conversely, SRC Recovery Leggings promote continuous muscle activation which supports consistent healing.
How it Works?
SRC Recovery Garments provide you with increased stability and allow you to move more freely post-delivery, making lifting, feeding, bathing, and caring for your baby much easier.
With no adjustable buttons, velcro or zips, the Recovery Garments are like a second skin. There's no need to constantly adjust while you're wearing them. Recommended by health care professionals for improving mobility and pelvic muscle function postpartum, these garments have become a must-have inclusion in hospital bags of women the world over.
Patented Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) in the SRC Recovery Garments deliver targeted compression, ideal for treating multiple conditions like c-section wounds, perineal trauma and episiotomy wounds, abdominal muscle separation, and lower back pain.
They provide support to the pelvic area through gentle yet constant compression, activating muscles and encouraging core stability, reducing swelling and muscle fatigue.
The ASP delivers True Cross Compression (TCC) as each layer within the panel is cut on a different plane so that no compression is lost at any time during the activity.
The research and development of our fabric was extensive as we wanted to ensure that it provided support and comfort with no feeling of restriction. Our uniquely milled fabric goes through rigorous independent testing to ensure that it is of the highest quality and can stretch and return to its original shape consistently after wash and wear to provide you with optimal performance and a longer-lasting garment.
To make sure we deliver this, we decided to test our fabric against one of the leading compression brands in the marketplace to assess whether the compression properties were sustained after multiple washes and how this compared to the other brand.
We subjected the fabric to 100 wash cycles followed by an extension test. Our fabric not only retained its original size and shape (against the competitor which shrunk significantly) but also retained the same high level of compression at the conclusion of testing.
The SRC Recovery Garment's flatlock seams increase comfort during exercise and prevent chafing and wound aggravation.
What are the differences in compression lengths/styles?
This is a question we get asked a lot by women wondering which length will be the best fit for their needs. Each length has different features and benefits and, ultimately, it comes down to personal preference for each customer in what they will get the most wear from:
- Full-length leggings provide the best venous return and are a fashion staple that can be worn like any other pair of black leggings. However, you may need help putting them on for the first time, and they may not be preferable for women in warmer climates.
- Regular (knee-length) shorts can be worn like bike shorts as both an undergarment and outerwear. They provide a slightly better venous return than our Mini length.
- Mini Length Shorts are preferred by many women because they fit perfectly under shorter dresses and are great for hotter climates. They are also the easiest to put on.
