Why we love these

Designed to support and empower mothers on their postpartum journey. You’ll feel secure and supported in our ankle length postnatal tight with its firm, ultra-high waistband. Suitable for natural and cesarean births, and as general post-surgical compression support.

~short description~

We've added a convenient zip at the ankle, allowing you to customise your fit and ventilation as needed. Whether you prefer a snug fit around the ankle or a bit more room to breathe, the zip feature gives you the flexibility to adjust your comfort level on the go. PLUS it makes it a little easier to wiggle in to your tights with extra room in the ankle.

The Postpartum Pocket Zip Ankle Biter Tight provides the support and compression you need to assist your postnatal recovery. Compression garments are recommended for new mums following childbirth to increase circulation to aid healing, reduce swelling and reduce post-pregnancy related aches and pains. 

Our Recovery styles are designed for use in the first 8-10 weeks after birth, however we know that everyone’s post birth experience will be different. We recommend wearing your Postnatal Recovery Tights for as long as they provide benefits.

We designed these recovery tights in consultation with a women's health physiotherapist to target specific postpartum issues including instability of the hips and pelvis post-birth, lower back pain, abdominal muscle separation (DRAM) or weakness, as well as pelvic floor issues. You'll love the smoothing and squat-proof fabric and a fit that is perfect for comfortable all-day wear as well as post-natal exercise.

Unlike traditional medical garments which can be uncomfortably tight (and not to mention ugly!), our tights will still give you the flexibility of movement while you're looking after your baby and won't irritate your c-section scar. The extra-high waistband also provides you with tummy coverage if you're breastfeeding.

Model 1 wears a XL. She is size 16 and is 172cm tall.

We suggest checking your hip measurements and using our size guide to help you choose your correct size, it is most important they fit correctly around your hips and legs. In our experience, if you are between sizes or unsure then it's best to size up.

The Recovery Tight is not suitable for and should not be worn during pregnancy.

Everyone’s post birth experience will be different. We recommend continuing to wear your maternity tights until you feel comfortable transitioning to a recovery tight.
