regular underwear, ever again?

manda26

I am so tired of these high waist bad boys but all of my other undies hit right at my incision, or at least creep down to it after I am moving around. Will I ever get to wear them again??

Your incision will feel better soon. Your only a month out.

It does start to feel a lot better after a couple of months. Really!!

It's still early. It'll get better with time. I was back in regular underwear at Christmas, so 8-9 weeks.

Yes, you will wear normal underwear again!

I just started wearing them last week (8weeks PP), but to be honest the big ones are so comfy I may never give them up completely.

Yep, the incision will feel better with time.  My incision was the only thing that hurt a few days after surgery so I lived in granny panties and sweatpants for the first 8 weeks or so. 

(who am I kidding?  i still live in sweatpants...just without the incision pain now )

I'm not going to lie...I didn't wear my nice underwear until about 9 months after ds was born

I am a year past my C/S and it still feels weird when I wear underwear that has elastic around the incision. I have found that the VS lacies (thongs) are perfect. They hit just below the incision and are still sexy.

Huh? Where is your incision? Mine is well below the bikini line.

I didn't wear regular underwear until about 4-5 months pp, but my incision re-opened so the recovery was a little longer. Now, I never have any discomfort, no matter what kind I wear.

mine is low also, but I have this fabulous flap of fat that makes my underwear creep right to the incision if it isn't high waist underwear

You will.  At 6 wks I was ready to start wearing regular underwear again.  Sometimes my low riding pants are annoying though b/c the button hits on the scar.  Hopefully that will go away when I drop the last 10 lbs of baby weight.

I was in regular undies again less than a week out from my first one.

I was in regular undies by about 2 months. My normal undies are the hipsters so they hit right at the incision, so it took a little longer.

Your expectations are quite high. You are only a month out so give yourself some time.

You wil be sensitive for a long time. My c section was 5 years ago and my underwear still rub on that csection spot. Its going to take a while to be able to wear normal underwear. My scar felt numb up to  a year and a half after.

I didn't start wearing regular undies until about 10 weeks out. It was granny panties and dresses for me. But even now, almost 4 months out, regular undies still bother the incision, and I still can't wear jeans for very long amounts of time. It just rubs too much.
