After deliberating whether to get these shorts for a long time (due to the cost) finally decided to order them for my diastasis recti. Never regretted it, no longer being asked if I’m still pregnant, was instead asked what I was wearing. I now wear these shorts and the mini shorts all the time! Hoping physio and the shorts can improve the diastasis recti in good time.

It feels very tight on first trial but it’s comfy when you get used to it. My midwife recommends them too. I’m getting a second pair.

This is my second pregnancy and the first time I have tried SRC recovery shorts. After my last pregnancy I struggled to adequately support my recovering core, this time I was recommended SRC - I have found then to be very comfortable and supportive.

I’m ready to give birth any day now and my SRC recovery leggings are at the top of my hospital bag! I’ve heard nothing but amazing reviews. They were recommended by so many people; my obstetrician, midwife, physio, pilates instructor, dance teacher, yoga instructor and personal trainer. Getting back to fitness is super important to me so I did not hesitate purchasing a pair of these amazing leggings 🙌ðŸ¼

These shorts are making my post Cesarean recovery so much faster and easier! They are so comfortable, I basically live in them! Sleep in them and will by another one to wash and swap so Never have to take them out! They have helped tucking that tummy in as well which is awesome!

While these were very tight on the first day After delivery, they became very comfortable after their first washing and fit perfectly seven days after delivery. I got the size Medium that I normally wear/a size smaller than my maternity sizes. Go for these! Love the health benefits they will bring.

Love these shorts!! I wish I’d bought them for recovering from our first child. It’s making recovery from the second birth so much easier! My physio recommended them to me and I can see why - they are life changing. They are beautifully made, and while they’re not cheap they are definitely worth every cent. I’ve ordered the leggings too.

I was tossing up whether to get the SRC recovery shorts after giving birth. Being a FTM it’s very hard to know what you need and what you don’t. I had a traumatic birth, and ended up with a bladder prolapse. After speaking to my OB and a Women’s Physio they both recommended a pair of SRC shorts to help with the prolapse and ab separation. Initially when my physio measured me for the shorts she ordered the wrong size. Once I received the shorts I quickly realised, and my husband and I were able to re- measure. I contacted SRC for an exchange. The customer service team were INCREDIBLE! Lolita was such a pleasure to deal with. She was so helpful in organising the exchange, and I had a registered nurse from SRC reach out to me to confirm that the shorts would be the right thing for my recovery. Overall, I am incredibly happy with the product, and I’m even more impressed by the company! I feel supported and will recommend SRC to everyone.

My Physio recommended me to buy SRC recoveray shorts as I still have 2 fingers separation even 6 months after delivery. I've got one shorts and one leggings. Feels like the shors is slightly tighter than the legging.
My physio strongly recommende me to wear it during excercise and even daily walking and shopping.

The short really helpful after my postpartum, my belly more tight and I really can see it. LOVE IT AND MUST BUY!

I started wearing my src shorts about 5 days after giving birth naturally to twins. My belly felt like a big wobbly jelly and was quite uncomfortable. As soon as I put the shorts in it felt far more supported and comfortable.
They were tough to get on and off the first day and by about day 3 of wear, I could easily get them on and off.
I also found the shorts provided pain relief as they supported me where I need it and helped to secure ice packs in the right spots.
I find them really comfy to wear and look good with nursing and button up tops during those first few weeks.
They have really helped compress my uterus and I am so surprised as how much my stomach has shrunk since wearing them!
The photo is my first day in them- I really like the length as it helped get fluid out of my thighs too!

My best friend is a physio and highly recommended I purchase these shorts, and they have been an incredible tool in aiding my recovery. Customer service is brilliant and you can even claim some of the cost of these shorts back on private health!

Started wearing this shorts a month after my c section. This is so much more comfortable than hospital-grade binders. Would continue wearing it as shapewear even after recovery. Highly recommend.

I wore my recovery shorts 3 days after giving birth and wow the difference it made with my stomach. It was a struggle to get them on at first I needed help from my husband and friend but it was worth the struggle. I literally noticed a result after wearing them for one whole day. I wore them every single day at home and out. This was taken 5 days after giving birth. Highly recommended and if you can purchase multiple pairs so you can wear them everyday
*From SRC Health Australia*
These shorts are great and have helped me a great deal since my c-section. I would recommend them.
Some general advice:
- check with your health fund what coverage you have before purchasing if you are relying on a rebate. I thought I had top cover and all maternity extras but my claim was rejected.
- if you’re between sizes I would size up rather than size down. For reference I’m between an AU size 12-14 pant size (measured as an M size) and the large size is snug.

These are a brilliant product, they really helped me post-partum, together with pilates, to strengthen amd rebuild my core. I wear them everyday under my clothing, they are comfortable and you soon don't notice them (in fact I notice it more on the odd days I don't wear them!). Would highly recommend.

Absolutely love the recovery shorts! I experienced traumatic childbirth injuries and these have been essential in my long recovery, I wear them every day.
I had a large separation of my abdominal muscles and these helped immensely, which allowed my muscles to come back together and I had better abdominal function soon after.
As previously mentioned these have been essential in my recovery from open book fracture of the pelvis, with diastasis of the pubic symphysis and instability of sacroiliac region. Initially I was in a wheelchair, but I have since moved on to crutches (I am 20 months pp) , they reduce the pain and fatigue, and have given me support which enables me to do the exercises required so that I can recover from my birth injuries. I highly recommend these!
I have used each of the various lengths, but my favourite are the shorts length.
I am 153cm tall and this is how the sit on me.

My womens health physio highly recommended i purchased these for 24hours after birth. I wasn’t convinced when I first saw them as they have a thick band at the top - but they are EXCELLENT! I’m very fussy normally with shorts/tights, but these had my back to pre pregnancy size within a week. Also the material made it easier to slide my newborn for feeding (I found other clothing felt sticky)!
*From SRC Health Australia*
Love the support the SRC shorts provide me post birth of my second baby, pulls me in, helps my uterus contact down without uncomfortable pressure and supports my back while my abs re build strength. The material is high quality and holds while being stretched when putting on and through regular washes. Love SRC used the pregnancy shorts for pelvic floor and ab support during pregnancy and used the recovery shorts after first baby too. The recovery shorta helped pull my stomach in within a few weeks after my first baby was born and I can feel them doing the same already five days post birth of second baby. Recommend SRC pregnancy shirts during pregnancy and the recovery ones for post partum recovery.
These shorts provided great support as everything moved back into place after pregnancy. The band that goes around just under the bra was a lot tighter and more rigid than expected, so I needed help to put them on. The shorts were comfortable once on.
The postpartum recovery leggings and shorts have been an amazing support for my post birth recovery. I feel so held together when wearing them, they’ve also aided in significant improvement to my DRAM, and perineal recovery. 4 weeks PP now and feeling great!
My physio recommended these tights and shorts for my back inflammation as well as post-natural birth pelvic floor healing as I have extremely tight hips and stress stored in this area. Since getting these in the shorts and full length, my life is less painful. I tried cheaper brands but nothing compares to the support I get from SRC!
