Stage 1 Shapewear for Post-Surgical & Postpartum Recovery
Stage 1 Shapewear for Postpartum & Post-Operative Recovery
Recovering after childbirth or surgery is not about tight compression or shaping.
It’s about support, comfort, and protection while your body heals.
Stage 1 shapewear is designed for the earliest phase of recovery, when swelling, sensitivity, and inflammation are still present.
Who Stage 1 Shapewear Is For
Stage 1 is recommended if you are in early recovery, including:
- Early postpartum recovery
- Early post-operative recovery (when medically permitted)
- Periods of swelling, inflammation, or tenderness
- When comfort and support matter more than shaping
What Stage 1 Shapewear Does
Stage 1 garments are designed to:
- Provide gentle to moderate compression
- Support the abdomen, waist, and lower back
- Help you feel secure without excessive pressure
- Allow extended daily wear with comfort
- Support healing without restricting circulation
What Stage 1 Shapewear Is NOT
Stage 1 is not intended for:
- High or aggressive compression
- Sculpting or dramatic shape changes
- Waist training or firm body contouring
- Replacing medical garments when prescribed
How Stage 1 Should Feel
When wearing Stage 1 shapewear, you should feel:
- Supported, not squeezed
- Comfortable for long hours
- Stable, without pressure points
- Protected during movement and daily activity
👉 If it feels too tight, you may need a different size or a later stage.
When to Move On From Stage 1
Stage 1 is ideal while swelling and inflammation are still present.
You may be ready for the next stage when:
- Swelling has significantly decreased
- Your body feels less sensitive
- You’re ready for firmer compression and definition
