Not a c-section but abdominal surgery 26 years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180660 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 20:07:52 +0000 Angie 2180660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Emily, </b>I can't match the words of wisdom, but hope you find a comfortable solution. Good luck!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180626 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 18:52:44 +0000 sarah 2180626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also suggest a wide lace waistband. I wear <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.maidenform.com/cotton-boyshort-with-lace.htmlhttp://">these</a> from Maidenform. For what it's worth, I had numbness and tingling for years after my (2) C-sections. But now that you mention it, the numbness is finally gone, and scar is barely visible. My youngest is 15. Fingers crossed that yours diminishes in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180619 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 18:36:30 +0000 aloha emily 2180619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! My scars are very low so hipsters sink into the crease and bunch up. Unflattering and uncomfortable. Joy- thank you! I will be sure I’ve had the shot. I don’t have pain, but 10 years later the area still feels numb and sensitive. Racheylou, yes, maybe cotton is part of the problem. Glory- I’ll check out the jockey French cut. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180597 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 17:43:46 +0000 Glory 2180597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a dilemma to be sure. My hysterectomy scar runs from my belly button all the way down and is very easily irritated. The only thing a bit comfortable are jockey French cut in cotton but they are really long and I am not tall so are above the pant line.&nbsp;<div>Joy - I am wondering about the shingle shot - does surgery make one more prone to shingles or in general?</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180561 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 15:59:49 +0000 rachylou 2180561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ones that bunch... are they cotton? I’m wondering if the fabric is the issue... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180523 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 14:17:38 +0000 Anonymous 2180523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hipster undies were what I wore and do again with my glucose meter. They are available in cotton with lace. High waists end up bunching in the wrong place. Be sure to get a shingles shot. You do not want to add that to the problem. Do you have internal scar tissue? If I stretch on one side, mine ( internal scar tissue) is still very painful after 40 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180509 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:58:48 +0000 N 2180509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest hipster ones but I suppose it depends how low your scars are. They do them quite low and horizontally now, so perhaps that isnt the best type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180506 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:50:41 +0000 Helena 2180506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry Emily, I don't have any great suggestions for you I'm afraid ... but wonder if a hipster style might be better? I remember when I was healing (many years ago now), this style worked because it didn't come anywhere near the scar ... might not be any help, sorry; hope you get some good ideas from others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/knickers-post-c-section#post-2180504 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:46:57 +0000 aloha emily 2180504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can anyone recommend underwear that won’t bunch up between my c-section scar and my tummy? The only solution I’ve found is waist-high briefs, but those show over the waistband of some of my pants and skirts. Anyone else have this problem? Or found a good solution? (The c-sections were years ago, so the scars are completely healed.) </p>
