SRC Health C-Section Recovery Mini Shorts – Compact Comfort, Maximum Support

Recovering from a C-section or vaginal birth? Whether you’re navigating scar tenderness, pelvic floor weakness, or abdominal separation, your body deserves gentle, effective care. The SRC Health C-Section Recovery Mini Shorts are designed to give you all the benefits of our full-length recovery range, in a lighter, shorter style that’s perfect for warmer months or layering under everyday clothes.

Developed with input from leading obstetricians and women’s health physiotherapists, these mini shorts deliver medical-grade compression where it matters most—supporting your core, protecting your incision, and helping you feel more confident as you return to daily life with your newborn.

Targeted Postnatal Support in a Shorter Style

The patented Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) in SRC Mini Shorts offer consistent, therapeutic compression to key postpartum recovery zones:

Support and protect C-section and perineal wounds
Help treat abdominal muscle separation (Diastasis Recti / DRAM)
Reduce pelvic floor weakness and lower back pain
Minimise swelling and improve mobility during recovery

This targeted compression helps activate muscles, reduce fatigue, and promote mobility, so everyday activities - feeding, lifting, bathing your baby - feel more manageable.

Comfort-First Design – Because Healing Shouldn’t Hurt

Made from breathable, anti-chafe fabric, the SRC Mini Shorts feel soft against sensitive skin and are built to move with you throughout your day:

Low-profile waistband – sits comfortably below your scar or belly without digging in
Flatlock seams – no rubbing, irritation, or pressure on scars
No zips, buttons or Velcro – nothing to press or irritate your healing body
Lightweight and discreet – easy to wear under clothes or on their own for active recovery
Practical side pockets – keep small essentials within reach

Whether you’re on the go or taking it slow, the Mini Shorts combine comfort with confidence.

Get the Right Fit for Real Results

To get the most from your SRC Mini Shorts, accurate sizing is essential. Compression only works when it fits just right - too loose and it won’t support; too tight and it may feel restrictive.

Stand upright with heels together
Wrap a tape around the widest part of your hips and bottom
Keep it level and snug—not tight
Have someone else measure you for best accuracy
If between sizes, choose the smaller for firmer compression

You can measure from 36 weeks of pregnancy, and wear your Mini Shorts from day one postpartum.

From managing C-section scars to restoring abdominal strength, the SRC C-Section Recovery Mini Shorts are your go-to for practical, wearable support. Comfortable enough to wear all day, effective enough to make a difference—they’re a must-have addition to your postnatal recovery toolkit.

What are SRC C-Section Recovery Mini Shorts used for? 

SRC C-Section Recovery Mini Shorts are designed for postpartum support, helping new mums recover from C-section surgery, abdominal separation (diastasis recti), and pelvic floor weakness with medical-grade compression.

Can I wear these compression shorts after a vaginal birth? 

Yes, while specially made for C-section recovery, these postpartum compression shorts also support women after vaginal delivery by reducing pelvic pain, swelling, and aiding core stability.

How soon after birth can I start wearing the mini shorts? 

You can start wearing SRC Recovery Mini Shorts as soon as it’s comfortable after delivery, usually from day one postpartum. Always consult your healthcare provider if unsure.

How do I choose the right size if I’m measuring before birth? 
If you’re carrying extra fluid late in pregnancy, fall between sizes or are just into a size, we recommend sizing down. Even if you’re quite swollen, choosing the smaller size will give you the best fit once postpartum swelling reduces. The garment may take 5–10 days to feel fully comfortable, but the fit will improve as swelling reduces.
You can wear your Recovery Garment for up to 12 hours a day and easily under everyday clothing. For best results, start wearing them from day 1 postpartum (C-section or vaginal birth), unless advised otherwise. The first 6 weeks are critical for healing, so consistent daily wear is recommended, continue this for the first 3-4 months postpartum.

How do these mini shorts help with diastasis recti? 

The anatomical support panels in SRC shorts apply targeted compression to gently support and realign abdominal muscles, aiding in the recovery from diastasis recti (abdominal separation).

Are the SRC Recovery Mini Shorts comfortable for daily wear? 

Yes, these C-section recovery shorts are made from breathable, anti-chafe fabric, with no zips or Velcro, offering all-day comfort under clothes or as activewear.
