Volume

• When looking for incontinence products, it is important to first consider primary factors such as finding a product that can handle your volume.  
• For heavy bleeders, it is important to find a more absorbent product. Post-partum bleeding (lochia), can last up to 6 weeks after giving birth and while this can be stressful, finding the right underwear can ease the stress.

Size

• Finding the right size includes finding a product that is easy and comfortable to wear. Some moms may opt for a size larger than they normally would wear.
• A size larger can help you feel more comfortable in your postpartum body, as well as create more room for a pad.
• Overly tight underwear can be uncomfortable and hard to deal with, especially when caring for an infant.

Fabric

• Finding a skin-friendly product is important and this can be established by identifying the fabric. Hormonal changes, especially in new moms, can lead to increased perspiration all over the body.
• In this case, you need to find a fabric that is light in compression and one that will not be harsh on your skin.
• Breathable materials such as cotton or microfiber are, therefore, recommended.
