SRC Recovery Shorts - Mini
Product Description
SRC Recovery Mini Shorts: Evidence Based Postpartum Support for Motherhood
SRC Recovery Mini Shorts offer essential postpartum support and pain relief after both c-sections and vaginal deliveries, promoting easier movement in the days following birth. Just as pregnancy challenges your body like a high-endurance sport, speeding up your recovery after delivery is key to a healthier postpartum journey for you and your family.
How SRC Recovery Mini Shorts Help
These garments are designed to aid in the recovery of:
- Caesarean wounds
- Perineal wounds
- Episiotomy wounds
- Abdominal muscle separation (Diastasis Rectus Abdominis Muscle - DRAM)
- Low back pain
- Pelvic floor muscle weakness
Crafted with anti-chafing fabric and developed in consultation with an obstetrician, SRC Recovery Mini Shorts prioritize comfort and functionality, providing the ultimate in support to help you heal safely and regain mobility post-delivery.
Why Choose SRC Recovery Mini Shorts over postpartum belly bands or maternity wraps?
SRC Recovery Mini Shorts are superior to postpartum belly bands as they provide support for multiple conditions, ensure greater comfort, and can be worn for extended periods, which boosts their effectiveness. Belly bands, on the other hand, can lead to muscle deactivation if tightened too much and should only be worn for short durations of 2-3 hours. SRC Recovery Mini Shorts, however, encourage ongoing muscle activation and aid in 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.
