After treating thousands of pregnant and postpartum women, our co-founders Dan and Ash knew exactly what mums needed through their motherhood journey: real support for their body.

We wanted to extend our care beyond the treatment room. So we set out to create compression wear with real purpose, designed to support your body through pregnancy and postpartum. But the fabric also had to be buttery soft, never slippery and super flattering, so you look and feel great while you're being supported.

Great customer service, I ordered the short shorts and wanted to swap for the longer and this was such a quick and easy process. I’ve been wearing shorts daily for c section recovery as per physio advise and definitely helping increasing my movements and physical activity

Absolutely wonderful experience with the team. Ordered my shorts while still pregnant, and found them to be a touch tight after bubs was born. Contacted the team, and quickly heard back from them that they would happily send out some other sizes for me to try, and that I could return whichever didn't fit! Made everything so simple and easy, especially in the chaotic time with a newborn. Got the right fit after trying on the alternative they sent through, and am honestly living in these shorts now! They're so supportive and comfy.

Brought the postpartum shorts while pregnant and went to wear them after giving birth to my bub but did not fit. I contacted continuall support and they were exceptional in their customer service and allowed me to return the shorts as they were not worn. They were prompt with their replies and very helpful with finding me the correct size. I got my new shorts and love them! They are so supportive in all the right areas. Not too tight around the legs which is what I dislike in other short brands. Overall I would highly recommend to any other new mums for postpartum support!!

postpartum compression short

Cannot recommend these shorts enough. Currently 5 days post partum and already feel like the compression has made such a difference to my abdominal recovery. The support for my perineum following an episiotomy has also been super helpful.

Couldn’t love these more! After wearing continuall leggings all the way though my twin pregnancy, I got the postpartum leggings and shorts and love them just as much!! Perfect at supporting my diastasis recti and umbilical hernia while I’m looking after my boys and slowly getting back into exercise. And they have pockets 🙌

postpartum compression short

These have been so supportive postpartum and are a good length for me being 172cm tall. Fabric is soft and the hem dosent dig in which I have had trouble with in other brands. Highly reccommend!
