With all the joy new moms experience upon the birth of a child, the pain quickly becomes a distant memory. But when you have a C-section, that pain can often linger for longer than you'd like. With more than 30% of women in the US having C-sections, there are a lot of mamas out there who find it uncomfortable getting dressed and having anything rub against their delicate scar post-surgery.
Czela Bellies are made just for C-section moms. These fun and flirty boy shorts were designed by a mom who had multiple C-sections, and knows just what moms need to make wearing underwear (and anything with a waistband) more comfortable after surgery. The waistband is lightly padded with the most luxuriously soft cotton velour, creating a barrier between your tender skin and the waistband of your pants or skirt, and giving your incisions much needed protection.
Designer Jennifer Bourgoyne created Czela Bellies not only to feel good against a mom's skin post-surgery, but also to give moms a bit of a pick-me-up. With her chic fabric choices of leopard prints, flowers and hearts, these are designed with a sense of fun that moms can appreciate.
Available for $27 each from Czela Bellies. For LA mamas, you can find them at the Pump Station.

Wow these are so cute! Fortunately I didn't have a c section but my friend is scheduled for hers next week. hope I win for her~!
I'd love to win one for my SIL who just gave birth to my adorable nephew. Thanks for the great contest.
The only thing that would have made me feel better after my 2 C-sections was just this - underwear that didn't hurt, cut into my incision and just basically made life difficult. I did use all the ugly web-like stretch undies they gave me at the hospital. Those were just ugly! I am gearing up for #3! Gotta get me some of these!
I would have loved comfort!
Easier shoes to put on, bra, etc. It's nice to wear a nightgown, but you can't wear that everywhere you go, it would be nice to find something that doesn't make you feel 80 years old!
Cute undies!
I had two c-sections....ouch! The only thing that made walking bearable was holding a tightly folded towel on my incision site. I'd love to win these!!
I havent had a C-Section but a girl friend of mine has and she would love a pair of these.

These would have been awesome when I had my c-sections!
I would love to win these!
What I used to help after the c-section was wearing one of those shapewear midsection/underwear; that would help control that feeling that all your inerds are hanging out.

I'm hoping to win these for a good friend who had a C-section. I think she'd really enjoy them.
A pillow on my stomach made me feel so much better after my c section!
My sister in law would love these!! she has already had one c-section and she is about to have another in september..these would be great for her!
I am scheduled for c-section #2 in 6 weeks and would love these. I definitely could have used more comfortable clothes (cotton, breathable, loose) after c-section #1!
And I thought the webbed undies they gave me in the hospital after my c-section were great. These are certainly a step up fashion wise and would've made me feel a lot less like my c-section friendly "lingerie" was purchased in the hospital once I got home.

What would have made me more comfortable after my c-section would've been to have a maid! :)
Cute undies...would love to win them :)
I will have a second c-section soon. With my first the abdominal binder they gave me really helped. My underwear were not comfortable but they let me take home extra mesh panties (I had connections)and those were comfortable.
Gosh what a great idea! Anything is better than those awful mesh ones they hand out at the hospital!
a maid and a nanny would have made it easier!!!!!

Although I haven't had a C-section, I have two girlfriends scheduled for one in a couple of weeks. I will be passing these along to one of them! Sounds like they would be much needed for anyone healing.
Thanks,

Not having any pressure against the scar, from undies, jeans, pants or anything...I wore stretch baggy pants everywhere for months.
Bending over the crib is still sometimes painful, now almost a year after my C.
These are awesome! And will probably be just as useful after the next baby!
I had a c section last time and am still undecided about it this time. It sure would be nice to have something cumfy to wear if I do have one this time. My abs were so sore last time.
I'd love to give these to my friend, she just delivered 3 days ago and is really suffering with her scar burning pain...Thanks!

my sister in law had a c-section last friday.
I didn't have a c section-but my niece will have one in April

i never have had one
I would have /loved/ to have had a pair of these when I had either of my two C-Sections. DH and I have recently been discussing maybe having another, at some point, and if we do, it's gonna be sooner or later, and it's pretty much a given that I'll have another C-Section this time around too. I will definitely be wanting some of these for then.
My boppy was my best friend, on my incisions! I'm sure my friend would love these for her section in 3 weeks!!
After my C- section, something that helped bind or stabilize the incision area would have made a tremendous difference!
i would luv these ive had2 c sections my last one ended with infection i had 2 more ab. surgeries to get rid of the infetion and 3 drains tey would be a godsend
Why these panties would make any woman more comfortable after a c-section! What a great gift!!!

What would have made me more comfortable? How about not having a baby to take care of after major surgery? I love the babe now more than anything, but imagine if you had major surgery and someone said to you when you woke up "here, take this little helpless person" instead of "here's some morphine, a good book, and some really bad t.v...."
Oh man.. The only thing that made me feel better as weird as it is was to walk walk walk.. within hours of my surgery at the protest of my nurses I was making laps around the OB.. sitting down or sitting still too long was agony when I tried to move again. I also got a gift of a tight band that went around my stomach from one of the nurses.. and it was FABULOUS. Otherwise I just recommend moving and gently stretching all you can.. it hurts at first but moving really does help keep the incision and scar from tightening up which is where most people experience pain. I had a bit of a rushed csection due to some really unsusal circumstances and my incision was not as clean as it could have been (scar wise) and I still have some pain associated with it (10 months later) though my scar should have been very very bad.. its actually very small in comparison to what it should have ended up as... all my doctors contribute that to my activity level after surgery (not that I at ALL recommend running a marathon.. but gentle SLOW walking is wonderful..)
I blogged you too

I've never had a c (and will never hopefully!) but I know several moms who have and would love to gift these to them.
Sexy undies for a very non sexy c-section belly! LOL
Very nice, and sexy too.
These undies were given to a friend at work and she absolutely raved about them. She said that in addition to the physical comfort they gave her, it gave her a mental boost to see how cute she looked after all the invasive surgery she had to endure. Now that my daughter has been told she will have to have a C-section (which we did not expect) - and soon - we can't wait to order her some. I need to know how to do it. There are lots of things for the baby, but it's nice to know there is something just for the mom now. This is giving her something positive to look forward to in this somewhat scary planned surgery. Thanks, Ms. Bourgoyne, for trying to help our girls get through this uncomfortable process.
Signed: A grateful mom
my tiny daughter-in-law may need this ,the baby is due in august.
I had a c-section and it was an awful recovery. I feel for any woman who's had one!

A pillow on my stomach made me feel so much better
I had an hysterectomy and have a bikini scar so these undies would be perfect.
I have to agree with above poster, the pillow was my constant companion. We are trying for another and would love to have these undies for then. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Honestly, I didn't want anything rubbing against the incision because it was so painful. I also liked having support as it made it easier to move around.
These look fab and since I'll be having c sections for the rest of our future babies I'll have to get some!

My neighbor could really use this. Thanks for the contest!
Luckily, I didn't have a c-section but this looks charming even for NVD moms. In fact, I'm soooo interested.

I needed soft clothing that didn't rub on my belly and I could have used more pain meds!
would love to win this for my expecting friend, just in case!
These undies would have been comfortable to wear after my c-section when I had to travel back to the hospital every day to feed my baby in the NICU.
Gas pills! I was in agony from trapped gassed until a nurse finally brought me some sprite and gas pills.
I WOULD LIKE TO WIN THESE FOR MY WIFE...PLEASE ENTER ME IN THE DRAWING.

too stay sleep until the pain has subsided.
What a cool idea.
Thanks for a chance to win!
a maid and a nanny!!!!
A paper fan to use when my incision started itching

These are so cute and sexy! I did have a csection and would love to have had these to wear. Wearing regular underwear was so painful!
My daughter is scheduled for her 3rd c-section in June. These would be great for her to have.
Fortunately my C-section was not that bad..my Dr. said I healed rather fast and handled my C-section better then most..but the thing that was most uncomfortable was stepping in and out of my husband's jeep because it was so high. These panties are too adorable and cute!

My last delivery was C-section. I had pillows to cushion sensitive areas.
this is such a great idea!
Love the duvet cover
God Bless

Good Luck
nice!!
These are the best idea ever. I broke down and bought granny underwear because even months post-op I still couldn't stand the rubbing of the waistband around my incision area. Now I am gearing up for c-section #3 and these just made it to the top of my list.
While the cotton gauze panties provided by the hospital were a lifesaver following my c-section, they did nothing for my morale. This should do the trick for #2 due in June!
Why these panties would make any woman more comfortable after a c-section!
those are too cute!
Wow these are so cute!
makes you want to have a c-section-yeah right
These cute and stylish panties are so super comfy, that I wear them even though I haven't had a c-section! How great it is to feel sexy and be comfortable at the same time!
NICE!!! the most uncomfortable after a c section, besides the pain... hahaha was the undies..
I am going to have a C-Section tomorrow and I found this great website tonight! :) I ordered two pair of these just now - but would love to have a third pair so that I don't have to do laundry every second day during my recovery! These undies are the cutest and look the comfiest - and they are from California - my home state (I now live in Montana)!
These undies are the cutest! I just had my 2nd c-section three weeks ago and am still feeling a bit of pain around my incision. I hate the way "granny panties" look under my clothes, but all my other underwear hit right on the incision so I don't have much of a choice. I would love to win a pair of these cute underwear. I plan on more children, which means more c-sections. If I like the "free pair", I will definitely buy more and replace all these ugly and oversized granny panties I have in my drawer.
P.S. I'm using my husband's blogger account hence the name and picture ;o)
I would LOVE to have a pair of these undies! After my last 2 c-sections i had to wear them BIG MESH GRANNY PANTIES with basically a diaper in it because i wasnt prepared to have a c-section, but now i KNOW i'm having one so i would really love to be more comfy in the panties!!!
Super cute! A large supply of those gauze hospital undies would have been nice... Or some of these, definitely!!
I am due to have my 2nd c section in a few weeks. My first one was unexpected and quite frankly scary to the core , afterward it was a super challenge to find panties that didn't hurt and weren't meant for my grandma. I never did find that just right fit.
