C section pant shortage

7 replies

I’m hoping to have a c section in a couple of a weeks and am really struggling to find any c section recovery pants that aren’t sold out. Does anyone know why this is (are they no longer approved of?) or have any suggestions??

My suggestion would be to just buy waist high cotton knickers with plenty of covereage.

Just get high-waisted giant plants from primark. Even some of the tummy control ones are quite nice once you start healing properly.

I never used them …just had very comfy undies, pants and made my partner get painkillers before waking as that was the most painful part….. getting out of bed!

Maybe get giant pants, not plants 🤦‍♀️. Although some greenery would be nice while recovering, maybe a giant cheeseplant or palm.....

As long as the pants go up to your belly button they'll be fine. Hope it all goes boringly smoothly, take it easy while it heals.

I bought c section pants for my first C section, didn’t find them comfortable and didn’t use them for either of my two sections. I actually wore mesh disposable pants and maternity dresses both times, to allow the scar to air as much as possible. It healed very well on both occasions.
