This past weekend I finally decided to stop with the mesh undies and wore my low rise undies. I was so nervous about anything rubbing on my incision, so I waited. I'm probably the only one on here that waited 4 weeks to wear regular underwear! LOL
I am still being a wimp about wearing jeans. Anything that buttons in the front still scares me.
When did you/will you wear your regular undies and jeans?

Girl, I wore Depends for almost 4 weeks post partum as well! DH thought they were sexy. (Not at all, actually lol.)
However, I lived in maternity yoga pants for probably another month after that.
you will be fine! Just give a shot with your loosest jeans. I was wearing them 2 wks after my c/s. Good luck!
Ha! Okay-- I feel much better now. I was branding myself a total wimp, but I guess it's normal to wait.
Yeah...my DH also was not a fan of the "hot granny panties" as he called them. lol
I'm still wearing granny panties And there is no hope for jeans anytime soon. I've been enjoying my yoga pants and pregnancy shorts too much.
Once I get back to the gym, I'm hoping to pull out a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans.

S/PAIF/PAL ALWAYS WELCOME!!
I still wear my "low rise" maternity underwear and maternity jeans/shorts. I put on a pair of prepregnancy jeans the other day and it still hurt above my incision. I had a tubal ligation as well so that may lead to more sensitvity too I guess.
It also makes me feel a little better about myself. It isn't "ugh, i can barely fit into my jeans" but more like "hey! These pants are getting looser!"
This. And I wore maternity jeans or pants with elastic waistbands until about 3 months PP, because my incision was so sensitive.
I picked up high waisted underwear from target and wore those for the first month but after that I started wearing only certain underwear that didn't land on my incision.
I also didn't wear jeans until about 2 months though. I had yoga pants and skirts until then.
