*Size up if you are wearing early postpartum.  You want a comfortable, therapeutic hug but not too tight fit. Order the size you will be approximately when you are wearing them, not your pre-pregnancy size.

**The XS is a specialty size for petite women and not worn by many women in the early postpartum weeks.  It is reserved for those in the later stages of postpartum who have dropped their weight and are back to size 0/2/4 but still need therapeutic core support.

Color: Black

    Do not recommend

    I really wanted to like these shorts, but I don't, especially for the price. They do not offer significant compression. I ordered 2 and used one pair unfortunately. I will return the other pair but I wish I could return both. I'm going to try the Belly Bandit shorts next, since I have their long leggings and really like them.

    Game changer!

    I was really going through difficult hip and pelvic girdle pain up until 4.5 weeks postpartum. Once I received & put on these biker shorts, I’ve noticed immediate relief. After a week of wearing the recovery shorts, my joints don’t feel as weak as before. Previously, I was unable to walk or do daily tasks like I was in my last trimester. These biker shorts were a lifesaver!

    Might be better for a taller person

    I thought a long time before buying these due to the price but finally pulled the trigger after reading favorable reviews. I am 5' tall, 130lb at full term and 104lb pre pregnancy. I purchased size S. I tried wearing these on day 1 post partum but was unable to get over my hips. I actually was able to fit into them a week later. However, I noticed I was feeling more pressure in my pelvic floor when wearing these. I did not find any support for my floor at all and thought maybe the shorts were actually putting too much pressure on it due to the compression on the abdomen without feeling any support on my pelvic floor. The shorts were uncomfortable to wear longer than a couple hours. I'm not sure how these are supposed to fit for the intended support or if suited for a petite person (e.g. where is the bottom seam supposed to hit- above glutes or half way down glutes?). I was unable to pull the shorts high enough to feel any pelvic support at all.

    Great quality and looks great!

    I never heard of this company before but decided to order the compression pants and shorts as well as the bra. Everything looks and feels great! Had I have known I would have used this site sooner. Would recommend

    Great shorts! Perfect compression and well made. Only wish the legs were a little shorter.

    Living in these

    I’m 2.5 weeks postpartum and have been wearing these everyday. I ordered a second pair so that I could switch them out. Great compression without being uncomfortable. I got a M and immediately postpartum am about 150 lbs. The length is on the longer side but I don’t mind. They still hit above the knee and I am 5’1

    Wear all the time!

    Great tummy support! I’m currently 3 months PP & I’m still wearing the shorts. So comfy & the belly compression hold everything in without feeling uncomfortable. I had a hard time wearing my bellybandit all day but these I can wear for days!

    Great for post partum

    Had a c-section and have been rotating wearing the recovery shorts and the dream shortie daily. The recovery short offers great support in the abdomen and I found them more comfortable than the belly bands - able to sit down easily and move around. I love that both of them cover the entire abdomen so that you can wear normal shirts while nursing and not have your abdomen exposed. I am 5'2 and chose size small for both. The recovery shorts are longer than the dream shortie in the legs but still above the knees. I will likely be wearing them both while breastfeeding!

    Perfect for postpartum

    I tried these above it a week after my vaginal delivery. They feel AMAZING and they definitely helped me recover faster and make my umbilical hernia feel better quicker!
    10/10 comfort and quality.

    Absolute MUST HAVE PP!

    I have literally lived in these since giving birth to my daughter. (More colors please!!) Great support, easy to move in, perfect length for spring/summer or layering under fall things. I wear them for leisure and working out, they’re so comfortable.

    Worth every penny

    I was hesitant to purchase given the price but was blown away by the quality and support. Will probably purchase two more pairs in the coming days. Way better than any other support band I used previously. I am a size 4-6 (26-27), 140lbs pre pregnancy 5’7” and small fit perfectly.

    Everything I expected

    The shorts feel tight on my abdomen, like a solid hug. I had tried other compression garments and I ended up feeling uncomfortable on the perineal area. I do not feel that with these shorts- the pressure seems even, I can sit down comfortably and go for walks.

    Must Have for PP Recovery

    These shorts have been life changing! They have helped my recovery so much in the first few weeks post c-section. I live in these shorts. So supportive and great moisture wicking for hot summer days. Tried to be a second pair but they’re out of stock. Love them!

    One word. WOW

    These shorts are amazing! I ordered a small when I had fully intended on ordering a medium at first (sold out in medium). Was worried that they wouldn't fit, but I am absolutely satisfied with the fit. The compressive support these give my mommy tummy and pelvic area is spot on. I was able to comfortably vacuum and mop my entire 2,000 sq ft home without any back ache! They also have a slimming effect which boosted my self confidence and my partner mentioned my booty looked great! Needless to say I will be hinting at another couple of pairs of these for Christmas.
    Only one thing missing from these is side pockets! Please add pockets!

    Awesome!

    I’ve been living in these and the leggings since having my baby. They provide modesty while nursing, compression, and support in all the spots I need in this time. Totally worth it!!

    Fantastic Fit

    Love the fit and length of these shorts (I'm 5'10" so I appreciate the longer inseam). They provide perfect compression without being too tight, but give good core proprioception. The ony chage I would make would be to add pockets, cause #momlife
    At 5'10" and pre-preg size 6-8, and at 3 weeks post-partum closer to 10-12, I ordered a medium, which fits great.

    Must have!

    These feel so comfy and provide just the right amount of compression and pelvic floor relief. I was 145 after delivery and ordered a size medium. I began wearing one week PP.

    Good compression

    Ordered these after my 2nd delivery and first c-section. Good compression that provides more support than another major brand I ordered. My only con is that the seam hits right at my c-section scar.

    Wish I’d had these with my first!

    These are so comfortable and supportive. I have a prolapse from my first pregnancy/delivery, and have some pelvic floor dysfunction (again) after my second. I’ve been wearing these compression shorts or the pants almost every day since I delivered and they’re amazing. I have a size small which is perfect for me - I was a size 4/6 before getting pregnant and gained about 30 pounds while pregnant. I can’t recommend these enough!

    Postpartum essential for warm weather. Love them so much, bought the full length leggings the day I got them.

    A little long, otherwise great

    I LOVE my postpartum leggings so even though it's been over 9 months since I gave birth, I had to get these bike shorts. I'm around a size 10 but I sized up to a Large based on the fit of my leggings. I think I could have gone with a Medium but the Large is more comfortable and still pretty supportive. My only issue with these is that they are too long, I'm 5'2" and they almost reach my knees, which is an unflattering length on me, and I have to fold the waistband over about an inch to fit under my bra. I wish they had a petite version!
