Postpartum Underwear

When you’re recovering, freshness matters! When cared for properly, your post pregnancy underwear stays fresh through long days, workouts, and warm climates. Each pair features a bio-based finish that balances moisture and bacteria to prevent odor buildup. During walks, gentle workouts, or moments of rest between feedings, our breathable layers help maintain comfort and dryness. The leakproof gusset flexes with your body’s movements, keeping confidence steady through every stretch, laugh, or errand.

We recommend hang drying to keep each pair performing at its best. After use, rinse your postpartum support underwear in cold water to release buildup and preserve absorbency. Then, hand wash or machine wash on cold inside a Saalt Mesh Laundry Bag for delicate styles such as seamless period underwear or lace period underwear. Avoid bleach, softeners, or irons, which can weaken fibers. Air drying helps maintain elasticity and extend the life of your maternity recovery underwear.

Yes. Many people wear their c-section recovery panties or other Saalt styles from morning to night for breathable, steady protection. While wear time varies based on absorbency and activity, the gusset holds up to three times its weight in liquid while staying flexible for movement. From grocery runs to long walks with a stroller, our leakproof underwear moves with you through every part of your day.

Nope, never! You can wear postpartum and cotton period underwear with confidence, knowing every fabric and finish is made without PFAS. We never use PFAS in our manufacturing, and each textile is tested for known hazardous substances to meet strict safety standards. As a Certified B Corporation, we design breathable, sustainable underwear that cares for your comfort and the planet. Learn more about PFAS on our educational blog.
