Postpartum panties are generally larger and taller than normal panties and are also more comfortable. They have a high absorption power of the blood that is released in the days after delivery, however, there are postpartum panties that do not have this absorption power, but are prepared to put absorbents suitable for postpartum.
These panties are used to help absorb the remains of childbirth that are expelled in the following days, and during the first week the flow is greater. There are also models that also work as a strap, which help to keep the belly less flabby, to shape the body and to make the clothes fit better. Learn more about postpartum straps.
What panties to buy
The postpartum absorbent and disposable panties can be found in pharmacies in packs of several units, from the Plenitud or Incomfral brand, for example, for a price that can vary between 9 and 20 reais, which will depend on the brand and the size of the packing. These panties can only be used once and once used they must be placed in the trash.
Reusable postpartum panties are generally available in various colors and at various heights and must accommodate a postpartum or geriatric absorbent in a safe way, so that no leaks occur, which must be changed several times a day.
The best options are postpartum cotton and knit panties, because they are more comfortable and allow air to circulate and synthetic material should be avoided, which increase the chances of developing fungal infections and delay healing. Some of them may even have a brace function, as they compress the belly, giving it greater support.
Reusable panties can be purchased for a price of around 17 to 60 reais and some of the brands that manufacture them are Love Secret, Lupo, My Lady or Any Any, for example.
