Mesh-free, softer than hospital-issued underwear

High waist sits above c-section incisions

Safe for vaginal birth & c-section recovery

High-waisted for a reason. These disposable undies are made for postpartum, they sit above a c-section scar without pressure, hold a maxi pad in place, and stretch to fit a post-birth body comfortably. No elastic digging in. No worrying about ruining your real underwear. Just comfort when you need it most.

    Your good undies don't deserve this.

    Postpartum is messy. Disposable is smart. High-waist means no pressure on anything that's sore or healing. That's it. That's the product.

    The hospital gives you one of these. It's not great.

    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 High Waist 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.

    Why this one. Not the hospital one.

    • High waist — above the scar

      The waistband sits comfortably above a c-section incision from day one through to six weeks of recovery. No pressure on anything that's healing.

    • Mesh-free microfiber

      Soft, breathable fabric that actually feels like underwear, not like something you'd strain pasta in. Latex-free and gentle on sensitive postpartum skin.

    • Stretches all over

      Four-way stretch microfiber + spandex that accommodates a post-birth body without digging in, rolling down, or creating any pressure anywhere uncomfortable.

    • Holds pads in place

      Designed specifically to keep postpartum maxi pads, cooling liners, and ice pads securely in position so your recovery layers stay where they need to be.

    • Fully disposable

      Wear them and bin them, no washing, no guilt, no ruining your real underwear. You'll have enough laundry in the first week as it is.

    • 8 pairs per pack

      Enough for the first week of recovery when you'll want to change frequently. Stock up before your due date, you won't want to be ordering mid-week-one.

    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 and 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.

    How many pairs do I need for postpartum recovery?

    Most new mums go through two to four pairs per day in the first 48 hours, tapering off as postpartum bleeding reduces. One pack of eight pairs will typically cover the first two to three days. We recommend buying at least two packs before your due date, one for hospital, one for home. You won't want to be ordering more in week one.

    Are these suitable after a vaginal birth, or just c-sections?

    Both. While the high-waist design is particularly useful for c-section recovery, where the waistband position over the incision is important, these work brilliantly for vaginal birth recovery too. The secure hold keeps postpartum pads in place, and the gentle stretch is comfortable against a tender perineum.

    Can these hold Frida Mom ice pads and cooling liners?

    Yes — they're designed specifically to hold the full Frida Mom recovery stack in place. Layer your Instant Ice Maxi Pad or cooling liners inside before pulling them on, and the four-way stretch fabric keeps everything securely in position.

    Are they really disposable, won't that create a lot of waste?

    It's a fair question. The postpartum period involves significant laundry regardless and the alternative, using your regular underwear, often means ruining several pairs. Disposable postpartum underwear is intended for short-term use across the first two to four weeks when bleeding is heaviest. After that, most mums return to regular underwear. The convenience and hygiene benefits in that window are significant.

    Will they fit over a postpartum belly?

    Yes. The four-way stretch microfiber accommodates a post-birth belly comfortably, including the bloating and uterine changes that can make a body feel quite different to pre-pregnancy. The high-waist design also provides a small amount of gentle abdominal support, which many mums find comfortable in the early postpartum period.
