Postpartum Is Messy, But Your Underwear Doesn’t Have to Be

September 24, 2026 by Juliann Leave a Comment

Giving birth is a beautiful thing. You’ve just brought a precious new life into the world, and there’s truly nothing else like it. Postpartum recovery, however, is quite the opposite. It’s messy, exhausting, painful, emotional, and about as far from beautiful as it gets. Your body is sore, your hormones are out of whack, you’re running on very little sleep, and there’s the leaking. Returning home with gigantic mesh undies, huge pads, and a newborn can be overwhelming.

As moms, I think we need to talk more openly about this part of postpartum recovery because it’s completely normal. There is bleeding. There can be bladder leaks. Sneezing suddenly becomes a risky activity. And the last thing a new mom should have to worry about is whether she’s going to leak through her underwear, stain her sheets or the couch, or constantly change pads when she barely has enough energy to make it to the bathroom.

That’s why I love the idea behind the Proud To Be A Badass Mama Leakproof Boyshorts from Postpartum Panty. These adorable period/incontinence panties are designed to withstand anything postpartum life throws your way.

Postpartum Is Messy, But Your Underwear Doesn’t Have to Be

Because New Moms Deserve Comfy, Cute Undies

While postpartum underwear isn’t meant to be glamorous, it really doesn’t have to be so depressing, like those ugly hospital mesh ones. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with choosing the biggest, comfiest undies you can find after having a baby. Comfort absolutely comes first. But every new mom deserves underwear that is comfortable and makes her feel a little more like herself again.

These boyshorts are stylish and cute while still providing the coverage and protection a new mom’s recovering body needs. Across the front are the empowering words “Proud to Be a Badass Mama,” which is actually an understatement, considering what your body just accomplished. Because if pushing a baby out of your body—or undergoing major abdominal surgery to bring one into the world—doesn’t qualify you for badass status, I’m not sure what does.

Soft, Stretchy and Made for the Postpartum Body

When you’re already dealing with soreness, stitches, swelling, bleeding, night sweats and everything else your recovering body goes through, comfortable underwear is not a luxury. It’s a necessity.

A Smarter Alternative to Mesh & Pads

These cute boyshort undies are reusable, so instead of continually going through those ugly disposable mesh underwear and annoying bulky pads, you have something you can simply wash and wear again.

Snug, Breathable Comfort + Coverage

They’re made from 95% antibacterial bamboo fabric and 5% spandex, giving them that buttery soft, breathable feel that’s perfect for sensitive postpartum skin. They have plenty of coverage without feeling like you’re wearing a diaper, and the stretchy boyshort design hugs the body comfortably. That really matters when practically everything below your belly button feels sore, swollen and tender.

Leakproof Protection For Real Life

They’re designed to help catch postpartum bleeding, spotting and bladder leaks, giving moms some extra protection against those surprise gushes that sometimes happen out of nowhere. That means fewer frantic underwear changes and less worrying about staining pajamas, clothing, bedding, or the couch during those first weeks at home.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
