I have very sensitive skin (must wash all new clothes before wearing) and the mesh panties gave me rashes on my hips/outer thighs. So itchy rashes + pp bleeding + newborn were a nightmare. I switched back to my regular normal undies right after I got the rashes. wheres_c on "What type of underwear did you wear postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-underwear-did-you-wear-post-partum#post-762068 Sun, 05 May 2013 16:13:05 +0000 wheres_c 762068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm an exclusive thong wearer and had to buy high waisted cotton panties after an unexpected c section. allison on "What type of underwear did you wear postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-underwear-did-you-wear-post-partum#post-762066 Sun, 05 May 2013 16:11:39 +0000 allison 762066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The mesh undies from the hospital are AWESOME. I was so sad when I ran out. Then I switched to Hanes boyshorts. They're great for holding the huge pads, but I didn't like the thin-ish waistband--gave me a muffin top! The wide crotch was ideal.

What type of underwear did you wear after giving birth? Did you buy special maternity underwear or just regular? I feel like I shouldn't spend a ton of money because I'll be bleeding and all sorts of other nastiness could get on them. Anyone have any recommendations?
