The Frida Mom High-Waist C-Section Disposable Postpartum Underwear is a pack of 8 disposable high-waist briefs designed for recovery after a C-section. The higher waistband sits comfortably above your incision rather than rolling down onto it, while the soft, seamless fabric holds maternity pads and other recovery layers securely in place.
Made from a breathable, mesh-free microfibre and spandex blend, they feel much closer to cotton than the scratchy, see-through mesh knickers you'd usually get in hospital, and stretch all over without squeezing or pulling. They're designed for the immediate postpartum days through the first six weeks of recovery, and because they're disposable, there's no stained laundry to deal with while you heal.
How to Use
- Step into the brief and gently pull it up so the waistband sits above your incision.
- Place your maternity pad (or other recovery products such as cooling pads) in the gusset and adjust until everything feels comfortable and secure.
- Change as often as you need to and dispose of used pairs in the bin. Do not flush.
Best For
The Frida Mom High-Waist C-Section Disposable Postpartum Underwear is a good option for parents who:
- Are having a planned C-section, or want to be prepared in case of one
- Want underwear that won't rub or roll down over their incision
- Are packing their hospital bag and want comfortable underwear ready for the first days after birth
- Want to skip washing heavily stained underwear in the early postpartum weeks
It may not be the right fit if you:
- Are looking for absorbent underwear that works without a pad, as these are designed to hold pads in place rather than absorb on their own
- Would prefer a reusable option for long-term postpartum wear
- Need a smaller fit than the Regular size (waist 71–107 cm stretched)
Good to Know
These are single-use and latex-free, and designed to be worn with maternity pads, not instead of them. Because they're disposable, they can tear if over-stretched, so pull them on gently. This pack is size Regular, which fits a waist of roughly 71–107 cm (28–42") when stretched. If you're between sizes or unsure, chat to our team before buying. Always follow your healthcare provider's advice on caring for your C-section wound.
Pandylane Pro Tip: If you're booked for a C-section, plan on going through several pairs a day in the first week. Pack one box in your hospital bag and keep a second at home, so you're not sending someone out to the shops while you're recovering.
