FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Look Elegant. Feel Supported. Recover with Confidence.

Motherhood transforms—your clothing should too. Velorae blends moderate compression with elegance for comfort and strength

Fit & Sizing

How do I choose my size?

To find your perfect Velorae fit, start by measuring your waist and hips with a soft measuring tape.

• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, or where the shorts will sit comfortably.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape level and relaxed.

Use these measurements to match your size on our Size Chart, which is available on every product page.

✨ Fit Notes:
– Our shorts are designed with moderate compression to support the postpartum body.
– If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort.
– For a firmer, more sculpted feel, size down if your hip measurement sits at the upper end of the range.

If you’re unsure, our team is always happy to help you choose the best fit for your body

How should the shorts feel when worn?

Your shorts should feel firm but comfortable: supportive around the abdomen, hips, and lower back without digging in or restricting your breathing. They should smooth and hug your curves while still allowing you to move, sit, and walk with ease.

Do they roll down or ride up?

Our design is a high waist short and thoughtfully engineered leg grips so the shorts stay in place. They should not roll down or ride up during everyday wear. If you experience slipping, it may be due to incorrect sizing (too big) or body shape differences - reach out and we’ll help you find the perfect fit!

Can I wear them under clothes?

Absolutely! Velorae postpartum shorts are discreet, smooth, and designed to be worn under your everyday outfits. The seamless style layers comfortably under leggings, dresses, jeans — anywhere you want support without bulk.

Is there a size chart available?

Yes! You can find our detailed size chart right here on the product page and here as well. It includes waist, hip, and rise guidance to help you choose with confidence. If you’re unsure which size is best, our fit guide and customer support are here to help!

Postpartum Recovery & Use

When can I start wearing them after birth?

You can begin wearing your Velorae postpartum recovery shorts once your care provider has given you the go-ahead often within the first few days after birth. They’re designed with gentle, moderate compression to support your core, hips, and back as your body begins to recover.

Are they suitable for C-section recovery?

Yes — Velorae shorts are designed with scar-friendly comfort in mind. Our seamless construction helps reduce pressure on sensitive areas. However, we recommend waiting until your incision is closed and healing well, and always follow your healthcare provider’s advice.

Can I wear them if I had a natural birth?

Absolutely. Whether you had a vaginal or C-section birth, Velorae offers supportive compression to help you feel more secure, lifted, and comfortable during your postpartum recovery.

Will they help with abdominal separation (diastasis recti)?

Velorae shorts provide gentle core support that may help you feel more stable and supported as your body heals. While they don’t treat diastasis recti, they can complement your recovery by offering structure and reminding you to engage your core with proper movement.

Can I sleep in them?

Yes, many mums love wearing Velorae shorts to sleep in — especially in the early weeks postpartum. They’re breathable, soft, and non-restrictive, making them comfortable for all-day and night wear. Just be sure they feel supportive, not tight.

Material & Care

What are they made from?

Velorae postpartum recovery shorts are crafted from our exclusive LustraFlex™ Eco-Luxury Fabric — a premium blend designed to feel soft, breathable, and supportive. Made with GRS (Global Recycled Standard)- certified recycled fibres and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100-approved, the fabric offers moderate compression with a smooth, second-skin feel that moves with your body as you recover.

How do I wash them?

To keep your Velorae shorts looking and feeling their best:
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
• Wash with like colours
• Do not bleach
• Lay flat or hang to dry
• Avoid fabric softeners to preserve compression

Proper care helps maintain both the fit and the fabric’s integrity.

Do they lose compression over time?

With correct care, Velorae shorts are designed to retain their shape and compression. Our high-quality fibres are made to bounce back wear after wear. As with all performance garments, avoiding heat and harsh detergents will extend their lifespan.

Are they eco-friendly?

Yes. Sustainability is at the heart of Velorae. Our LustraFlex™ fabric is made with GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified recycled materials and is also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 approved — meaning it’s tested for harmful substances and safer for both your skin and the planet.

Can I use them for workouts or light activity?
