Our collection of pregnancy and post-partum panties

Motherhood is a unique period, full of transformations, and your comfort is a priority. At Elia, we've designed a collection of pregnancy and post-partum panties to accompany every stage of this wonderful adventure. Whether you're in the early stages of pregnancy, preparing for childbirth, or after the birth, our knickers are there to offer you optimum support. Our low-priced models are not only comfortable, they're also super-practical, so you can live this period with complete peace of mind.

Pregnancy and post-partum panties for every stage of life

During pregnancy, your body changes rapidly and it's crucial to have underwear that adapts to your new shape. Our Oeko-Tex certified organic cotton maternity briefs are perfect for providing extreme softness to your skin while respecting your rounded belly. Thanks to their elasticity, they gently hug your curves, giving you super-pleasant comfort day after day. And for those looking for absorbent protection during pregnancy, we offer washable menstrual pants suitable for discharge and rounded tummies. And you can find the rest of our menstrual pants as soon as your cycle returns.

During pregnancy, many pregnant women experience increased vaginal discharge due to hormonal changes. Our Elia menstrual briefs are perfectly adapted to accompany these natural transformations. They offer comfortable, discreet protection against the heavy white discharge common throughout pregnancy, as well as against cervical mucus and mucous plugs at the end of pregnancy. Our menstrual briefs can also absorb the light bleeding that can occur, particularly at the start of pregnancy (every woman is different!). However, it's essential to remember that any abnormal bleeding should prompt you to consult a health professional as soon as possible to make sure everything's going well.

Once you're past childbirth, it's essential to have post-partum panties capable of handling heavy flows, including at night. Post-partum bleeding (lochia) can last for several weeks, and our post-partum panties offer maximum absorption without the discomfort of traditional disposable sanitary pads.

Pregnancy and postpartum panties FAQ

What panties to wear when you're pregnant?

During pregnancy, it's crucial to choose panties that offer comfort and softness, while adapting to your changing body. Pregnancy panties made from organic cotton are particularly recommended, as they are breathable and gentle on the skin, avoiding the irritations that are common during this period. Choose models with a high-waist cut or elastic fabric, which adjust to your growing belly without exerting pressure. Our menstrual panties can also be an ideal option during pregnancy to absorb heavy white discharge or light bleeding. They offer discreet protection and everyday comfort.

What maternity knickers to choose?

The maternity period calls for undergarments adapted to the specific needs of young mothers. After childbirth, it's important to opt for post-partum panties designed to absorb heavy bleeding, known as lochia, which can last for several weeks. These briefs offer maximum absorption and are more comfortable than conventional sanitary pads. For mothers who have given birth by caesarean section, high-waisted panties are particularly suitable, as they support the tummy well and avoid compressing the scar. At Elia, our panties are made from organic cotton, a soft, hypoallergenic material that respects your skin and intimate flora. Available in a range of sizes, up to 6XL, to suit all body shapes.

Why are my panties always wet during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, it's not uncommon to find that panties remain damp throughout the day. This is due to the increase in white discharge, or leucorrhoea, caused by hormonal changes. This discharge is completely normal and plays a protective role in maintaining the balance of vaginal flora and preventing infections. If you feel discomfort due to this constant wetness, we recommend the use of menstrual panties. They offer light, comfortable absorption to manage these discharges, while providing you with everyday comfort. However, if you notice any abnormal changes in the color or odor of your discharge, it's advisable to consult a health professional.

What panties to wear after giving birth?

After childbirth, the body goes through a recovery phase accompanied by heavy bleeding called lochia, which can last several weeks. It is therefore essential to choose post-partum panties capable of managing this heavy flow while offering optimal comfort. Post-partum menstrual panties are particularly effective in absorbing this bleeding without the need for additional protection. High-waisted models are recommended, especially after a caesarean section, as they provide good support for the tummy while avoiding compression of the scar area. Our organic cotton panties are soft, breathable and offer long-lasting protection, so you can feel comfortable and serene during this recovery period.
