I wore granny pants and pj bottoms/ leggings after both CSs - I can't imagine anything like shapewear being remotely comfy! Cottons would be better than lycra for breathability (it's a good idea to air the wound when possible and, if you need to pad it, loose clothing works well) and you don't want to pressure things into the wrong place with lycra.

No!!!!!!! Get some huge pants and loose fitting joggers. You won’t want anything tight against you got a little while-especially not sweat inducing tight shorts.

No! God, the thought of having to get them up and down over your scar.
