Postpartum Recovery Shorts
Postpartum Recovery Shorts
Couldn't load pickup availability
High-waisted shaping shorts in a nylon and spandex knit, cut to sit above the natural waist and end mid-thigh. Seamless through the leg opening so there is no line under fitted clothes, with flexible boning at the side seams that keeps the waistband from folding over when you sit down.
Product truth
- What it does: Smooths the line of the stomach, hips and upper thighs while you are wearing it. Holds the waistband in place better than an unboned short.
- What it does not do: It does not burn fat, tone muscle, lift anything permanently, or change your body composition. Nothing about your shape is different once it comes off. It is not a postpartum recovery device and it does not affect healing.
- Best for: Smoothing under a fitted dress, skirt or trousers. Wearing for a few hours at a time.
- Not ideal for: The first weeks after a caesarean, sleeping in, or exercise. If you want abdominal support while recovering from birth, a belly band or binder is the right garment, not this.
- Compression: Moderate.
- Fit: Runs snug on first wear. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — see below.

Sizing — measure, do not guess
Measure your natural waist at the narrowest point and your hips at the fullest point. If you are postpartum, size to your current measurements, not your pre-pregnancy size.
| Size | Waist | Hips |
|---|---|---|
| S | 26-28" (66-71 cm) | 36-38" (91-97 cm) |
| M | 28-31" (71-79 cm) | 38-41" (97-104 cm) |
| L | 31-34" (79-86 cm) | 41-44" (104-112 cm) |
| XL | 34-37" (86-94 cm) | 44-47" (112-119 cm) |
| 2XL | 37-40" (94-102 cm) | 47-50" (119-127 cm) |
Why we tell you to size up
Sizing down is what makes shapewear roll. Fabric stretched past its limit cannot hold position, so tissue pushes over the top edge — and once there is a ridge, the waistband has something to climb. A larger size holds a wider area at lower pressure, which stays put and is far more comfortable to wear for an evening.
