    No more fishnet. No more shame spiral. Just comfortable underwear.

    The hospital mesh is technically free. It is also scratchy, see-through, and has a waistband with the structural integrity of wet tissue paper. We made something better.

    The hospital gives you these. They are not good.

    Australian maternity wards typically issue new mums a pair of mesh hospital underwear, the see-through, scratchy, fishnet-style briefs that are genuinely uncomfortable, provide no support, and have a waistband that sits exactly where a c-section incision is most tender.

    Frida Mom's Boyshort Disposable Underwear is the upgrade. Made from microfiber and spandex, they are soft, breathable, and stretchy without being see-through, they're designed to hold postpartum pads, cooling liners, and ice pads firmly in place while sitting well above the incision line. No pressure, no digging in, no fishnet anything.

    And because they're disposable, you don't have to worry about what happens to them. The early postpartum days are unpredictable.

    These aren't your good underwear. That's the whole point.

    What's the difference between the boyshort and the high waist?

    • Boyshort cut — lower rise, full coverage

      Full rear coverage with a comfortable leg opening that doesn't cut in. Lower-rise waist sits at the natural waist rather than above it, the better choice when a high waistband isn't needed.

    • Mesh-free microfiber + spandex

      Soft, breathable, and completely opaque. Feels like real underwear — not a hospital-issued fishnet. Latex-free and gentle on postpartum skin.

    • Four-way stretch, all over

      Stretches in every direction to accommodate a post-birth body at any stage of recovery. No restriction, no digging in, no rolling down.

    • Seamless and tagless

      No seams to irritate sore tissue. No tags to catch on stitches or tender skin. Just smooth, uninterrupted fabric from waist to leg.

    • Holds your recovery layers in place

      Designed to keep postpartum maxi pads, cooling liners, and ice pads securely in position. Everything stays where it needs to be, every time you move.

    • Disposable — wear and bin

      8 pairs per pack. Wear once and dispose. No washing, no guilt, no sorting through laundry in week one. One less thing to think about.

    How to wear your postpartum underwear

    1. Layer up first. Place your postpartum pad, cooling liner, or ice pad inside the underwear before pulling them on. It's much easier than trying to adjust things once they're on.
    2. Pull up gently. The high waist sits above your belly button, pull slowly and let the stretch fabric settle. Don't rush this one in the first 48 hours.
    3. Check the waistband position. For c-section recovery, make sure the waistband sits comfortably above, not on the incision line. Adjust if needed.
    4. Change as needed and dispose. Wrap used pairs in the packaging and bin them. No washing required. Start fresh with a clean pair.

    For vaginal birth and c-section recovery

    These aren't just for one kind of birth. They're for anyone who's just had a baby and needs comfortable, fuss-free underwear that works with their recovery — not against it.

    VAGINAL BIRTH RECOVERY

    Holds postpartum pads and cooling liners securely in place. Gentle stretch doesn't put any pressure on a tender perineum. High waist provides light abdominal support during the fourth trimester.

    C-SECTION RECOVERY

    The high waistband is specifically designed to sit above the incision without rolling down or creating pressure on the scar. Critical for comfortable movement in the first six weeks of recovery.

    HOSPITAL STAY

    Pack them in your hospital bag and start using from the first postpartum bathroom trip. Far more comfortable than the hospital-issued mesh alternative — and you can leave these ones behind guilt-free.

    HEAVY PERIOD DAYS

    The same secure pad hold and comfortable fit makes these useful well beyond the postpartum period. Keep a pack on hand for the first few post-birth periods, which can be heavier than usual.

    Questions? We've got answers.

    What's the difference between the boyshort and the high waist?

    The boyshort sits at the natural waist with a lower-rise waistband and a wider leg opening, it's a more everyday underwear cut. The High Waist has a taller waistband specifically designed to sit above a c-section incision without pressure on the scar. For vaginal birth recovery, either works well, t comes down to personal cut preference. For c-section recovery, the High Waist is the recommended choice.

    Are these suitable after a c-section?

    They can be used after a c-section but the High Waist version is generally the better choice for c-section recovery, its waistband is specifically designed to sit above the incision line. The boyshort waistband sits lower and may contact the incision area on some body shapes. If you're unsure, opt for the High Waist for the first few weeks of c-section recovery.

    How many pairs do I need?

    In the first 48 hours when postpartum bleeding is heaviest, most mums go through two to four pairs per day. One 8-pack typically covers two to four days of heavy postpartum flow. We recommend buying at least two packs before your due date, one for hospital, one for home. You won't want to be placing an order in week one.

    Can I use these for heavy periods?

    Yes — the soft, stretchy, full-coverage boyshort cut works well for heavy period days too, not just postpartum recovery. Many mums keep a pack on hand for the first few post-birth periods, which can be significantly heavier than pre-pregnancy periods. They're also useful for any situation where disposable convenience and pad security matter more than laundry.

    Do they actually feel like real underwear or like a nappy?

    They genuinely feel like underwear — soft microfiber and spandex that's completely opaque, seamless, and moves with the body. The comparison point is the hospital mesh underwear, which most mums describe as feeling like a scratchy fishnet. These are significantly softer, better fitting, and more comfortable in every way. They're disposable, but they don't feel disposable.
