| "After having my baby by emergency C-section, I was feeling pretty sore and sorry for myself. I was keen to get back into my daily exercise routine, but didn’t know how to go about healing myself with that goal in mind. SRC Recovery Shorts made the weeks after birth much more comfortable and, therefore, made me more confident in returning to my normal work routine, while learning how to be a Mum! SRC Sports Shorts assisted me to return to exercise, which of course helped me to start feeling in control and like myself again. I was grateful for all the support!" |

| "I suffered from lower back pain during my pregnancy. At 26 weeks I began wearing SRC Pregnancy Shorts and the benefits were immediate. Amazing support and comfort and my back pain disappeared almost immediately. SRC Pregnancy helped me and they can help you too." |

"Going into my first pregnancy I had suffered sacroiliac joint, hip and lower disc pain for about five years. My condition was so severe I would have regular cortisone injections into my SIJ joints a few times a year, to relieve the inflammation and pain, not to mention the physio visits! I was very concerned as to how I would manage the pain throughout pregnancy as the weight of the baby increased and put more pressure on my pelvic joints and back. Many people had many theories as to how my back problems would hold up during pregnancy but around the 30 week mark I experienced very bad pelvic instability and lower back pain.
I already had a cupboard full of back support braces and pelvic belts etc, but had heard about SRC Pregnancy Shorts and thought why not give them a go? When they arrived I was a bit skeptical as they felt like they probably wouldn’t have enough support for me, but after persisting and wearing them for around 20 hours a day, and during the night, the results were instant. I absolutely loved them!
I felt fully supported standing for long periods at work, and I could easily wear them under my clothes without feeling bulky. They offered such wonderful relief around the pubic bone area. Not to mention they were comfortable and the fabric breathes, which for me was so important, being pregnant during the hot summer months. I look forward to getting into the Recovery Shorts now!”" |

| "After suffering from serious sciatic pain during my current pregnancy I was starting to come to terms with the fact that for the next 5 months I was going to be in pain. I was regularly attending myotherapy appointments to gain relief from the pain I was having and the results were only temporary. I was unable to get through most of my day pain free, I saw SRC Pregnancy Shorts on TV (A Current Affair) and thought what could the harm be. Things were only going to get worse as I got bigger. I received my shorts and put them on as soon as I unpacked them and within 1-2hrs I was walking, sitting and standing with no pain. At the day's end I was hesitant to take them off but I wasn't going without them the next day. These shorts are extremely supportive and comfortable and I wear them under everything. Thank you for providing such a supportive product that I cannot sing the praises of enough. I look forward to ordering my Recovery Shorts in a few months time." |

"SRC Pregnancy shorts have eliminated my sciatic discomfort, while wearing them. I am on my feet about 6-8 hours a day doing massage therapy. Between carrying a 50 lb massage table, driving, and working on my patients my sciatic nerves were severely compacted with pressure. The day I tried the shorts I was suffering from Right Sciatic Nerve pain. The moment I tried them on, my pain literally went completely away. I will say, if I do not wear the shorts my lumbar area is painful. To mend the issue, I simply wear them all the time. It has given me the ability to continue working without pain.
I have been wearing the pregnancy shorts for about 12 hours a day (through my workouts and about 7-8 hours of massages). I don’t currently sleep with it on. My back does ache during the night. I am strongly thinking about just wearing them constantly except in the shower, just to keep continual relief :)" |

| "SRC Pregnancy Shorts provide fantastic support. The garment has enabled me to be mobile and the pain decreases dramatically when wearing the garment. It provides support in just the right places. When I am not wearing the garment i.e. when I wash it every third day, I can really notice it and the severity of my pelvic pain increases dramatically. The garment is a godsend!! I will be recommending to my O&G, physio and other mothers." |

| "I tried alternative support garments after my first 2 caesareans, but after my third caesarean, SRC Recovery Shorts is by far the most superior garment. It gives you amazing support and is so comfortable; it’s like a second skin. They also helped me regain my figure quickly. I highly recommend this garment to anyone having a baby." |

| "I’m a 42 year old mother of four children my youngest now 6 yrs old. I love my exercise which includes running, weights, riding and swimming. Over the years I have found that running and riding in particular gave me a lot of lower back pain and tightness. Since wearing SRC Sports Shorts I no longer suffer from lower back pain and can now do a hard 10km run without tightness in that area. The shorts are also great to wear in Pump classes (weights) – I can get out of bed much more easily the next day without the previous stiffness that I suffered from. They are now my choice of sportswear!" |

| "I love these garments. There was a 2 inch split between my abdominal muscles after the birth of my second child and even though I didn’t get these garments until about one month post birth, they had an amazing impact. Not only did I feel much stronger through the core, they also helped reduce back ache by offering support when I bent down to pick up my (heavy!) son. The other real surprise for me was that I actually felt and looked slimmer almost immediately. This was an enormous and much needs confidence boost in the early days." |

| "I find SRC Pregnancy Shorts extremely comfortable to wear. The material is silky soft and fits discretely under my clothes. I wore the garment in both cold and hot climates and it was fine to wear all day in the hot weather. The garment offers fabulous support and relief from the pain associated with vulval varicosities. I found that if I forgot to wear it, by the end of the day my varicose veins were throbbing and pronounced. This does not happen when I put the garment on in the morning and wear it all day. So far I haven’t had any more veins appear and am hoping that with continued daily use of SRC Pregnancy Shorts I won’t get any more.." |

| "During the pregnancy of my second child I developed extensive varicose veins everywhere from the waist down. The most painful one was in the middle of the front of my thigh with the most unsightly being behind my knee. The support offered by SRC Recovery Shorts significantly assisted in reducing the size and discomfort of all of these varicose veins. The comfortable firm design of the shorts not only assisted in reducing the gap between my stomach muscles but offered support to my back, waist and pelvic area. Subsequently this increased confidence in my core strength, general mobility and brought about more awareness to my posture." |

| "I was introduced to SRC Recovery Shorts through a friend. Initially I was cautious and a little bit sceptical about the value of items such as these but felt that I had nothing to lose in giving then a try. Immediately I was struck by their comfort. As a calisthenics instructor I have worn Lycra before but never has it felt so comfortable and supportive. These garments were a revelation to me. SRC Recovery Shorts undoubtedly helped with my fluid retention and I have lost 6cms off my hips already, much of which I put down to the recovery shorts. I would not hesitate to recommend these garments to any woman post childbirth. They are simply wonderful and I am pleased to have been introduced to them." |

"I was thrilled to have the opportunity to wear both the long and short versions of SRC Recovery Shorts.
I commenced wearing the shorts the day after my second baby was born. I found the shorts to be extremely comfortable and immediately provided major support, compression and relief to my perineum and abdominal muscles.
Certain actions that I found very difficult while pregnant, such as rolling over in bed, became effortless. In addition, I felt very confident returning to my usual activities including lifting my 13 kg toddler and carrying her up and down stairs.
I had mild pelvic instability and moderate sacroiliac joint inflammation during my pregnancy and found these were markedly diminished while wearing the shorts.
The shorts are made of luxurious, lightweight fabric so they were not obvious under my clothes. They were easy to launder. I found that the shorts regained their original size with each wash which meant they continued to provide effective support and compression to my shrinking tummy.
Further benefits from wearing the shorts were being able to fit into my regular jeans 7 days after giving birth and I’ve had many compliments about my post-pregnancy shape.
Basically, wearing the shorts was like having a brand new, detachable six pack and pelvic floor."
