Description
Recovering from a C-section or vaginal birth? Whether you’re navigating scar tenderness, pelvic floor weakness, or abdominal separation, your body deserves gentle, effective care. The SRC Health C-Section Recovery Mini Shorts are designed to give you all the benefits of our full-length recovery range, in a lighter, shorter style that’s perfect for warmer months or layering under everyday clothes.
Developed with input from leading obstetricians and women’s health physiotherapists, these mini shorts deliver medical-grade compression where it matters most—supporting your core, protecting your incision, and helping you feel more confident as you return to daily life with your newborn.
Top Features

- Flatlock seams – no rubbing, irritation, or pressure on scars
- No zips, buttons or Velcro – nothing to press or irritate your healing body
- Lightweight and discreet – easy to wear under clothes or on their own for active recovery
- Practical side pockets – keep small essentials within reach
- Whether you’re on the go or taking it slow, the Mini Shorts combine comfort with confidence.
The patented Anatomical Support Panels (ASP) in SRC Mini Shorts offer consistent, therapeutic compression to key postpartum recovery zones:
- Support and protect C-section and perineal wounds
- Help treat abdominal muscle separation (Diastasis Recti / DRAM)
- Reduce pelvic floor weakness and lower back pain
- Minimise swelling and improve mobility during recovery

Highly recommend
Was recommended these by my pelvic floor physio and absolutely love them. They made me feel so supported in the first few days after my birth and I'm continuing to wear them for 12 weeks. Have helped me feel like myself so much sooner than I would have without them.

Perfect fit!
I bought the product as recommended by my physio. I started wearing the SRC mini c-section recovery shorts from post-op day 8 and it's been amazing so far. It helps to 'keep everything together' and has helped with mobilisation as well. Needed help to put it on the first couple of times but have managed to do it myself since. I waited until I felt ready to try them on. Would highly recommended.

Src mini shorts
Really comfortable to wear during warmer seasons, even under dresses and nighties when extra support is needed. Pockets are fantastic for when you need both hands free for the little one.

Very comfortable
The shorts are very comfortable and make me feel more supported.

Great compression
I measured myself to make sure that I'd order the right size. These pants fit me very well and I feel snug in the right places. There is adequate support in the lower abdominal area and pelvic floor. They are comfortable enough to wear during the day for hours at a time.

Effective recovery wear post abdominal surgery
Excellent customer service assisted me to get the correct size for my post abdominal surgery recovery wear. Fits well and although awkward to put on (and for toileting) very helpful in reducing pain and increasing functional capacity during my recovery period.

Essential support
Shorts have been essential to my recovery and helping to heal my diastis recti. Also, they look great. Use the size guide carefully

Excellent purchase, even at 4 months post partum
I heard about these shorts from a girlfriend who got them for her second pregnancy and I had doubts about whether they would still be useful at 4 months post my own pregnancy. I was so glad I got them as they indeed helped me with my back support especially when carrying my velcro baby :) My only wish is that I had known about them sooner! I am 5'3, around 58kg post partum, and the XS is perfect :)
