I've got 2 pair of the src recovery shorts - I needed them after the twins - and I still use them now (13mths later). They are exxy but I claimed on my PHI as my Ob provided a letter advising they were a medical requirement .

Only bit of advise, don't put anything too constrictive around your mid section too soon after birth, the physio at the hospital wanted me to put on the recovery shorts the day after the twins were born but as they were so compressive it didn't allow for all the fluid to get out of my system properly and my legs got so swollen from all the trapped fluid. So it would be best to wait until your body has passed all of the excess fluid first and then use a compression garment
