    These tights, next level. They feel like they're part of my skin.

    Every recovery is different. Talk to your health professional about the compression and timing that suit you, especially after a C-section.

    How they support you

    4 panel support

    Four mesh panels around the tummy for core and back support, with breathable compression.

    Ultra high waist

    Holds your core comfortably and stays in place, with a lower waist seam.

    Flat lock stitching

    Strong, flat seams that sit gently on your skin, including over C-section scars.

    No front seam

    No stitching down the front for comfort, and no camel toe.

    Supaflex nylon and elastane: smooth, super soft and breathable.

    Why Emamaco Postpartum bottoms?
    We solve these problems for our customers
    Problem: painful, unflattering, not made for postpartum
    Solution: made for post partum, flattering and holds you together

    Beautifully shaped, ultra deep pockets that are actually usable on one of the best post partum recovery shorts. ever.

    Voted one of the best post partum products of the year by Mum Central, read on to find out why our Pregnancy Recovery range is raved about by thousands of Australian Mums.

    The shorts style perfectly as:
    - under dress wear so you know you are supported
    - workwear when black attire is required
    - every day shorts paired with a loose crop and jumper
    - gym shorts paired with an emamaco nursing crop top or sports bra

    Your body just carried and delivered a baby. These are the shorts designed to support everything that comes after.

    Our Postpartum Recovery Shorts With Pockets are made specifically for post-baby bodies, with ultra high-waisted medically inspired compression that smooths, supports and helps hold you together comfortably while your body recovers.


    Just support, confidence and comfort that actually feels made for postpartum life.

    Made from buttery-soft sculpting fabric with supportive stretch and deep side pockets that fit your phone, these are the shorts mums reach for on repeat:

    • pram walks
    • coffee runs
    • light workouts
    • school pick-up
    • lounging at home
    • surviving the newborn stage

    Because postpartum activewear should make life easier — not more uncomfortable.
