The Carriwell Post Birth Support Panties are seamless postpartum briefs designed to offer gentle tummy control and back support in the weeks after birth. Made from a soft microfibre fabric with a double-layered waistband, they sit smoothly under clothing and give a supported, held-in feel while your body adjusts through the postpartum stage.
If you're looking for postpartum support underwear that feels comfortable to wear day to day, the double-layered waistband is the detail that does the work here — it provides gentle yet firm compression across the tummy and lower back, without the bulk of a separate support band. The seamless microfibre construction keeps the panty invisible under clothing, and a cotton gusset adds everyday comfort and breathability where it's needed most.
Comfort designed around a changing body
Postpartum comfort priorities are different to everyday underwear, and the design reflects that. Generous leg openings help reduce digging and maximise comfort during longer wear, while the stretch in the fabric (a blend of polyamide, elastane and cotton) moves with you rather than pinching. The smooth, seamless finish means there are no bulky seams sitting against tender skin.
How it works
- Double-layered waistband: Two layers of fabric across the tummy and back provide gentle yet firm compression, giving a supported, shaped feel through the waist and midsection.
- Seamless microfibre: The soft, stretchy microfibre is designed to sit invisibly under clothing, so the panty stays discreet under everyday outfits.
- Cotton gusset: A cotton gusset adds comfort and breathability for prolonged wear.
Best for
The Carriwell Post Birth Support Panties are a great option for parents who:
- Want gentle, everyday tummy and back support in the postpartum stage
- Prefer seamless underwear that stays invisible under clothing
- Value generous leg openings and a cotton gusset for comfortable, longer wear
They may not be the best fit if you:
- Need underwear designed to hold a maternity pad or with integrated absorbency, as these are support briefs rather than absorbent postpartum underwear
- Are looking for a specific level of medical compression, which this garment does not specify
Good to know
Everyone's recovery is different, and how a support garment feels can depend on your stage and whether you've had a caesarean or perineal recovery. If you have any concerns about pressure near an incision or recovery area, check in with your midwife or healthcare provider about what suits you.
