Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period bring big changes emotionally, mentally, socially, and physically. During this time, attention usually shifts to the baby, often leaving mums without the support they need. That’s where we step in. Our compression garments are designed to support YOU, so you can focus on taking care of your baby and yourself.
how does compression work?
Compression increases blood flow to the applied area, which is essential for muscle repair and tissue healing. It also enhances proprioception—the body's ability to sense its position and movement—helping to improve stability and reduce the risk of injury. Much like sports tape, compression provides sensory feedback, potentially reducing pain.
Our tights feature a graduated compression gradient along the legs (10-15mmHg), designed to provide gentle support without restriction, ensuring muscles stay active rather than being switched off by excessive tightness. This level of compression helps support swelling, which are common concerns during pregnancy and postpartum. The gradient ensures blood flows upward toward the heart rather than pooling in the feet, promoting healthy circulation.
Compression levels may vary due to differences in leg size, fit, and individual body variations.
