C-Panty Benefits
C-Panty has a sewn in medical-grade silicone panel to reduce scarring and itchiness, while minimizing the possible chance of infection around the delicate incision area. The silicone is durable, washable, and integrated into the panty, eliminating the need for messy scar gels or scar gel pads.
C-Panty also helps to reduce swelling, supports weakened muscles, and banishes that c-section bulge. No hooks, straps, or Velcro®, so nothing will irritate your incision area.
How C-Panty Works
It’s long been known that compression can help to reduce swelling. C-Panty is a convenient, comfortable way to provide ongoing compression to reduce swelling and help speed your recovery. Compression can also help inhibit excessive scar tissue formation, and may reduce the chance of subsequent medical treatment for painful keloid scarring.
The medical-grade compression provided by C-Panty is carefully calibrated to provide just the right amount of compression for a woman who has just had surgery.
Too little compression will not give you the support you need. But too much compression can be dangerous, because it pushes post-surgical fluids into your incision area, causing more swelling, more fluid retention in the wrong area, and discomfort.
Excessive compression can also actually slow the healing process. C-Panty’s just-right compression reduces swelling and helps you recover safely!

Binders support the tummy, and support panties can provide all-over compression, but neither addresses the C-section incision area.

Best of all, it works without the bulk of a binder and without the discomfort of control panties that are simply too tight for the post-operative new mom.
