SRC Health Restore Support Leggings - Uterine Prolapse & Continence Treatment

<b>Restore™ Compression Support Leggings - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)</b>

<b>About the Garment</b>
<b>Q: What are Restore™ Compression Support Leggings designed for?</b>
A: Restore™ leggings are specially crafted to provide targeted compression and support throughout the pelvic region and down the legs. They are ideal for managing pelvic organ prolapse (including bladder and uterine descent), stress urinary incontinence (leaks with coughing, sneezing, or exercising), postpartum recovery after vaginal or caesarean birth, pelvic heaviness or dragging sensations, and improving pelvic stability and circulation during daily activities and exercise. These leggings complement pelvic-floor rehabilitation, enhance comfort, and help restore confidence in movement.

<b>How It Works</b>
<b>Q: How do Restore™ leggings support my pelvic health?</b>
A: Restore™ leggings use medical-grade targeted compression panels that gently lift and stabilise the pelvic organs while extending support down the legs to improve circulation and reduce swelling. This decreases pelvic heaviness and fatigue during activity and supports bladder and pelvic-floor muscle function. While they enhance comfort and mobility, they are designed to be used alongside pelvic-floor exercises rather than replace them.

<b>Postpartum and Recovery Use</b>
<b>Q: When can I start wearing Restore™ leggings after giving birth?</b>
A: Many women start wearing Restore™ leggings when they feel comfortable—often within a few days after delivery (vaginal or caesarean), with healthcare professional approval.
<b>Q: How long should I wear them each day?</b>
A: You can wear Restore™ leggings for several hours daily, often throughout the day for consistent support. Always listen to your body and remove the garment if you experience discomfort.

<b>Exercise and Movement</b>
<b>Q: Can I wear Restore™ leggings during exercise or physical activity?</b>
A: Yes. These leggings are designed for gentle to moderate physical activity. They provide pelvic and leg support during movement, making them perfect for walking, light exercise, or easing back into fitness postpartum. Follow your physiotherapist’s pelvic-floor-safe exercise advice.

<b>Fit and Sizing</b>
<b>Q: How do I choose the right size?</b>
A: Correct sizing is crucial for effective support. Measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks, and check your leg measurements if available, then consult our size chart. A fit that’s too tight may cause discomfort or downward pressure, while a loose fit won’t provide enough compression. If between sizes, choose the smaller size for firmer support or the larger for comfort.

<b>Incontinence and Pelvic Support</b>
<b>Q: Can Restore™ leggings help with bladder leaks or incontinence?</b>
A: Yes. The leggings provide support to the bladder neck and pelvic floor, helping to reduce leaks caused by coughing, sneezing, or physical activity. This secure support can boost confidence as you strengthen your pelvic-floor muscles.

<b>Vulvar (Vaginal) Varicosities and Vein Support</b>
<b>Q: I developed small blood-blister-like veins around my vagina during pregnancy. Even two years postpartum, I still notice them occasionally. Can Restore™ leggings help?</b>
A: These symptoms often stem from vulvar or vaginal varicosities—small varicose veins in the vulval area due to increased pelvic vein pressure during pregnancy. Restore™ leggings may assist by delivering gentle, consistent compression around the pelvic and perineal areas and down the legs to encourage healthy circulation, reduce vein pooling, and relieve pelvic heaviness, swelling, or discomfort. If veins become painful, swollen, or bleed, seek medical advice.

<b>Night and Everyday Wear</b>
<b>Q: Can I sleep in my Restore™ leggings?</b>
A: Some women find them comfortable for overnight wear during early recovery, while others prefer daytime use only. Wear them overnight if they feel supportive without restriction; remove them if you experience pressure or discomfort.

<b>Shorts vs Leggings</b>
<b>Q: What is the difference between Restore™ Shorts and Leggings?</b>
A: Shorts offer targeted pelvic and lower-abdominal support, ideal for discreet wear under clothing. Leggings provide the same pelvic support with additional full-leg compression to enhance circulation and reduce leg swelling. Choose based on your comfort, lifestyle, and support preferences.

<b>Care and Maintenance</b>
<b>Q: How should I wash and care for my Restore™ leggings?</b>
A: Machine wash on a gentle, cool or warm cycle (max 30°C) with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry or iron. Lay flat or hang to air dry. With proper care, the leggings retain their compression and shape for up to 100 washes.

<b>Results and Duration of Use</b>
<b>Q: How long should I continue wearing Restore™ leggings?</b>
A: Many women wear them for several months postpartum or while managing pelvic symptoms. Continue as long as you find benefit, gradually reducing use as pelvic-floor strength improves. Consult your healthcare provider before adjusting your routine.
