If you're expecting, you've probably heard tales of the glorious mesh underwear the hospital gives you after you give birth, whether you deliver vaginally or via C-section. Believe the hype: they're that comfortable. But when you run out of those hospital-issued underwear and you had a C-section, your normal underwear will irritate your new incision. High-waisted underwear are key, and after I first made the mistake of trying some scratchy drugstore brand on a quick postbaby errand, I found these. Kindred Bravely's High Waist Postpartum Underwear & C-Section Recovery Panties ($20) are made of smooth, comfy material that won't rub your scar the wrong way, and the lace detail makes them much more attractive than some other options you'll find out there. If you have a planned C-section, buy these now.
