Underworks Vulvar Varicosity and Prolapse Support Boy-Leg Brief with Groin Compression Bands - 523

I apologize for the long review, but can't stress the value of these shorts enough for relieving perineal pressure and pain during pregnancy! I call them my magic shorts, and have told my doctors, doula, and some other women about them, to please spread the word! I developed severe hemmorhoids, a feeling of overall perineal pressure and pain, and blood blisters on both sides of my vulva in my third trimester of pregnancy! I was in so much pain I would even sometimes cry out in pain while bending over to pick something up, and I have a high pain tolerance. I told my doctor about it, and was told this can be really common to experience, and I wasnt offered any potential therapy or advice on how to manage.... I didn't accept this answer, and turned to internet forums to try to find an explanation and help. I found out through What to Expect and Reddit forums that some women have problems with vulvar varicosities in pregnancy which can cause these symptoms due to decreased venous return, and someone mentioned compression shorts to help. So even though I didn't have externally visable vulvar varicose veins, I figured maybe some counter pressure to help support blood flow just under the skin's surface could still help. After reviewing some options, I purchased these, and I honestly can't sing high enough praise! They have saved me from significant pain, even some noticeable alleviation the moment I put them on, and after wearing them for a week both the blood blisters and the hemorrhoids had drastic improvement and eventually resolved!!!! Please spread the word, and get these for yourself or a loved one in need. Update: these shorts remained essential through the very end of pregnancy, and I put them back on right after labor and delivery and I had an amazing recovery! I was back to walking the dogs and normal function with minimal pain just 3 days after delivery. Everyone was astonished by my quick postpartum recovery and I credit these shorts. In fact, in the month postpartum, I would have some return of swelling and pain if I forgot to wear the shorts for even one day, and all swelling and pain would again dissipate when I put them back on. Incredible.

This is better than the pelvic bra with thong. Although it needs to be stronger in the rear area. The legs could be a little longer, too, to keep them from rolling. Holds tummy well. Tight like it should be. I use it when needed.

This undergarment moderately helps with prolapse discomfort; I wish that there was a version with longer torso fabric - a little more "high rise" would've been perfect for me as a 5'9" person. Overall, I would buy it again though.

El calzon es corto de tiro...y piernas..no es de buen material...no elástico para varices...parece un calzoncillo de varon..en medio tiene un relleno y una costura tosca y molesta...40 dolares a la basura...no lo compren.

I have grade 2 cysto and rectocele and had to give up running because it was just too uncomfortable. Even just walking was difficult. I heard about these shorts in a Facebook group I am in for prolapse support. Admittedly, I was very skeptical how an external garment could help with an issue that was (thankfully) internal only. I have been blown away. The first time I wore them, I was able to do a 10-incline walk without any symptoms, whereas symptoms usually start in around the 20 minute mark. After wearing them a few times with great success, I decided to try going for a run. In the past week, I've been able to run four times. It really feels like these are giving me back a huge piece of my life that I had been missing (I would run for self care and stress relief). They are bulky but so good. Loved them so much I ended up ordering a pair of the leggings, too, and I'm hopeful that they will be just as awesome.

I like this product even though I’ve only had it a few hours. I went walking for the first time in a while, and I felt great. I’m excited to get back to living life. My only surprise was that the product was much larger than I expected it to be. I’m 5’7” size 12 jeans, and I ordered a large based on my hip measurement. The large is really quite big on me. I’ve pulled the drawstring as tightly as it’ll go, but it’s still somewhat loose. I just now reordered in a size medium. I wore my boxer style undergarment beneath my tightest workout pants, and it’s very comfortable. The fabric is thick, but very breathable and stretchy. The crotch area is particularly stiff (not in an uncomfortable way, though— it’s stiff as in supportive & strong) and it’s thicker than the rest of the garment. I was literally praying to find something that made me feel like I could get back to living my life, and even though these are a bit too big, I can already tell this is what I needed (just in a smaller size). I definitely recommend the boyshort/boxer style to any woman needing physical support so she’s no longer afraid of living life or living in constant fear of making the pelvic issue worse. These are a physical AND mental boost for me. I am keeping the size large, because I believe they’ll work well to wear with feminine menstruation pads. If you’re planning on wearing pads with them, especially the larger/overnight pads, it might be a good idea to order a pair one size larger than what you’d typically need, just for that time of the month.

Works for me. Got size M.

I wash these cold water and hang them to dry on a hanger and they they bunch up. I try to stretch them out, but after a few washes, they are all bunched in the front by your stomach, even if you pull the black draw strings , which would be nice if it was a white draw string and it we would be able to remove it I called the company and they said that’s the way it is. That’s the way they make it. There’s nothing they can do about it. Go to wear once or twice maybe three times after washing but $39. That’s a lot of money maybe just wear them when you’re gonna walk a lot.

game changer! Can walk the dogs without any leaks. Go shopping, coffee, be a lady 'wot does lunch' They are neither comfortable or uncomfortable - you know you have them on but it isnt an issue and for anyone with problems when walking around etc they are fabulous - not cheap but really worth it.

Fantastic product. Has enabled me to lead a normal life again. Extremely well made and surprisingly comfortable. The suggestion to order one size up is valid. One addition I will make is a soft gripper toggle to the cord as it tends to loosen over time.

i purchased 2 of these , they do not fit , but i am unable to return the other one very expensive so very disappointed

I've been using these for a few months. They help support my prolapse fantastic. I like the low rise on these shorts as you can hike them up for extra support and you can tighten the string at the top to give a better fit. I was disappointed to see they do not do an Extra small as I have the knicker/pants version and they do not give me enough support due to being to big and too high rise. They have made my life so much more bearable.

Comfortable, supportive,wish id found these earlier
