SRC Recovery Leggings Product Information

WHY SRC RECOVERY LEGGINGS?

SRC Recovery Leggings assist in speeding up recovery after pregnancy by addressing the 3 most common and important conditions post birth:
1. Abdominal Muscle Separation (DRAM)
2. C-Section and Perineal Trauma / Stitches and
3. Low Back Pain

HOW DO COMPRESSION GARMENTS WORK TO PROMOTE POST-PREGNANCY RECOVERY?

1. Activate Muscles

SRC Recovery Leggings have been specifically designed to activate muscles they are in contact with. Gentle continuous compression is key so as not to tire your muscle over time.

2. Reduce Swelling

Graduated gentle leg compression promotes good venous return. Continuous gentle compression to the abdomen, perineum and back activate muscle and stimulate venous return which helps reduce fluid in those areas.

3. Reduces Pain and Provide Wound Support

Constant gentle compression to any wound either C-Section or perineal decreased swelling which in turn decreases pain.

WHY ARE SRC RECOVERY LEGGINGS RECOMMENDED BY HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS?

SRC Recovery Leggings have all the same attributes of the SRC Recovery Shorts but with an extended leg length to the ankle. SRC Recovery Shorts were designed in consultation with a leading obstetrician/gynaecologist Dr. Grant Saffer. The compression garment can be worn to comfort from day 1 after both a vaginal or C-section delivery. We recommend wearing these for 8-10 week or as long as you feel the need.

All SRC compression products feature superior fabrics which are specially milled and rigorously tested before any product is manufactured. Our fabrics therefore are of superior quality and deliver sustained compression over time.

ACHIEVING OPTIMAL RESULTS

Start wearing your SRC Recovery Leggings as soon as you feel able post delivery. Shoud they feel uncomfortable due to fluid retention please remove them and try again the following day.

Please be advised that if you have had stitches to the perineal area following a vaginal delivery you should change your maternity pad every 2 hours. DO NOT wear a pad that has a plastic backing. This may cause the area to sweat which will increase the risk of infection. Wash the area with salt water and dry well following each pad change. Wear your recovery leggings during the day only while your perineal stitches are healing. Once the area is fully healed you can wear them both day and night.

Your Leggings can be worn 24 hours. The longer you wear them over a 24 hour period the more activation your muscles will receive.

Find Your Size

For best results get someone other than yourself to take a number of measurements as sizing is critical to the performance of the garment.

Do not take your own measurement

Please use the chart below to determine your perfect fit for all SRC Women’s garments.

SRC Recovery Shorts -> Find Your Size

Measure in your underwear only. Stand with your heels together and keep the measuring tape straight. Place the tape over your hips, pubic bone and bottom at the fullest part. The tape should touch your body at all points but not be pulled tight.

We advise you measure and order your SRC Recovery Shorts during the 36th week of pregnancy as your hip measurement may change during early to mid-pregnancy. If you already have had your baby you can measure at any time.

Should you find that you are in between sizes or just into the next size we recommend that you choose the smaller size because of fluid loss post-delivery.
