Postpartum Underwear

You bet! Saalt postpartum underwear for women works by absorbing flow directly within the gusset, so you can skip pads, tampons, or liners. Just pull them on like your favorite pair of underwear. On the outside, they feel soft, stretchy, and form-fitting, while inside, our innovative technology takes charge. 

When you’re recovering, freshness matters! With regular care, our post pregnancy underwear stays clean and comfortable through warm days, light workouts, and long stretches on your feet. Every pair uses breathable fabrics and our leakproof gusset to manage moisture fast, which helps reduce odor buildup. After a rinse and wash, the layers dry quickly and feel airy against skin that might be extra sensitive postpartum.

A dryer works, though air drying is kinder to the fabric over time. Start by rinsing your maternity recovery underwear in cold water after wear, then wash on cold with a gentle, fragrance-free soap. Delicate styles like seamless period underwear and lace period underwear do best in a Saalt Mesh Laundry Bag. Skip bleach, softeners, and high heat, since those can wear down performance faster. A quick hang dry keeps the gusset feeling soft and springy, but a low tumble dry is still safe when life gets busy.

Many people do. Our c-section recovery panties are designed for steady coverage during daily movement, from morning routines to evening wind-downs. Comfort will vary based on flow level and activity, yet the gusset stays flexible and breathable while holding fluid securely. Recovery looks different for everyone, so let your body guide your changes through the day. 

Nope! We never use PFAS in our fabrics or finishes, and no PFAS are used in manufacturing. Every textile is tested for known hazardous substances, because skin safety matters even more during postpartum healing. As a certified B Corporation, we keep our materials body-safe, breathable, and responsibly sourced. Learn more about PFAS on our educational blog.
