ARE THE SRC RECOVERY SHORTS WORTH THE MONEY?

SRC Recovery Shorts

A few years back I had 3 customers in store on a Saturday all asking about the SRC Recovery Shorts. I didn't even know what they were but I was sure they must be a gimmick. I mean to say, who in their right mind would spend $189 on a pair of shorts. I had a baby and survived without them and yes I have a permanent pregnant looking belly but isn't that just the way it is? I hate to admit that I'm sometimes wrong but I was wrong!

I bowed to public pressure and began to stock the SRC range of pregnancy shorts, leggings and recovery shorts and in the past 5 years I have only had one customer that has not liked them.

So how do they work?

Let me be quite clear that I am not a doctor and I a simply telling you what I have been told by the manufacturers of these products, by physiotherapists and by customers that have used the product. It is always wise to do your own research and consult you doctor for their professional opinion.

For those of you that haven't yet had your first child, it is hard to describe the feeling of your newly empty belly. Everything has been pushed out of shape and takes time to slowly move back into place. For many, their abdominal muscles have started to separate or at the very least, been pushed to their limits. Wearing a support garment feels so good. Everything feels supported and you move more confidently. The is especially true if you have had a caesarian birth. Having the support will help you to move around more and reduce the risk of tearing your stitches.

Now when you move more you use your muscles more so that's benefit No.1 but as you move the SRC recovery shorts apply resistance to the muscles and this gives you a double whammy. 

The compression of the garment helps your body to heal after surgery and is beneficial for ladies with vein problems higher up the leg and groin. Also beneficial to ease that throbbing pain in the vaginal area.

The Recovery Shorts hold your body in a position that is supportive to your joints so in this way they can help to ease and prevent back and pelvic pain.This can be especially helpful if your ligaments have loosened up more than they are supposed to during pregnancy.

You see, you may think that your body is fine but it's not going to be put to the test until next time you fall pregnant and by then it's too late. Last week alone I had 4 customers ring up asking for help because they were pregnant for the 2nd/3rd time and while only a few weeks into the pregnancy, already they were starting to feel their abdominal muscles stretching. Two ladies had a nasty burning sensation that their doctors put down to the abdominal muscles starting to tear, How scary must that be knowing how much more these muscles have yet to stretch?

I don't want to scare you but I think I must have heard of just about every pregnancy complication there is and many of them that would seem to be preventable because they are related to muscles that just haven't bounced back. Sure you need to exercise and eat well above all else but there is no doubt that the SRC Recovery Shorts will help.

Poor muscle conditions leads to so many problems with one of the nastiest being when all your insides start to want to come out of your vagina!

Can I just stress that this is not about vanity. Often I get women in the store wanting to buy Recovery shorts to help get their body back as soon as possible. They want the shorts as tight as possible because they feel that the tighter the short the better it will work. It's not about beauty, it's about health and fitness, Yes it will help you to regain your pre-baby body faster than if you did nothing but it's not a miracle cure, so buy them for the right reasons. 

Check with your private health insurer because if you are with a good company they will pay up to 80% of the cost. Even if they don't, if you plan for the cost and put away $5 a week during your pregnancy you'll have the money ready to go. 

At Maternity Revolution we will measure you up, or help you measure yourself if you can't get into store.We will have the shorts posted to you with no charge for postage and then you can have them ready to take with you to hospital. If after you have had the baby you try on the shorts and don't like them, you can return them for a full refund. If you need a different size we will have them posted to you at no extra cost and you can return the pair that doesn't work. We can provide you with the letter you need in order to attempt a claim on your health insurance too.

Feel free to call us today and ask any questions.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE BUYING MATERNITY WEAR

Ninth Moon Maternity Long Sleeve Weave Breastfeeding Dress

Reason Number 1: OK, so reason number 1 is obviously to keep me, and the few maternity stores that still exist, in business :)

Reason Number 2: To support small business and the Australian Economy because most maternity stores and maternity suppliers are small Australian businesses and much of the stock is still manufactured in Australia.

Reason Number 3: Now here's where there is direct benefit to you. Maternity Wear is so comfortable. It's not as pricey as it used to be and most of it is designed to be worn while breastfeeding as well as pregnancy. In fact, most of it can be worn pregnant or not. So it's a financially clever option.

The alternative for many is buying normal clothes a few sizes bigger, or looking for stretchy garments but I don't understand the logic. Why spend money on ill fitting clothes that most likely won't even get you through a full pregnancy when you can buy clothes designed for the purpose and have the benefit of being able to wear them afterwards while breastfeeding?

As for price, buying cheap crap from Target will not last a full pregnancy. You'll be lucky if it gets you half way and it certainly won't be in any kind of condition suitable for a 2nd or 3rd pregnancy.

I know there are still some expensive designer labels of maternity wear out there but the average price of a top quality garment here at Maternity Revolution is $59.95. That top will last you years and it is one that can be worn while pregnant and while breastfeeding. In fact you don't even have to be pregnant to wear most things.

I'm not a big advocate of the Belly Belt either. Once upon a time when maternity wear was ugly and had big over tummy panels in the front I could understand why people were reluctant to wear them and in the early stages of pregnancy a Belly Belt was an essential maternity wardrobe item but these days the maternity pants are just so comfy and again, you don't have to have a tummy to wear them. So why not buy yourself a few pairs of maternity pants and be comfortable and well dressed as opposed to having this lumpy, uncomfortable contraption hooked up to your normal pants?

Quite seriously the Australian Maternity Industry is struggling and if you don't support us we will disappear and I know that many of you don't want that because the customers we do have are always so grateful that we exist. We are always asked by customers to open new stores around the country which I would love to do if more people patronised the stores that currently exist. We are told our service is the best and we know this is true by all the good reviews we have. To my knowledge we have not received even one bad review.

So if we have great stock, great prices and great service you need to pay us a visit. We are online or we have a huge store on Brisbane's Northside at 1/124 South Pine Rd, Brendale. Plus, we are open 7 days.

We don't just do maternity wear either. We also stock maternity bras and support garments. Yes we also do plus size maternity clothes up to size 26 and larger cup bras up to an H cup.

By the way, if you don't believe me that Maternity Wear stores are becoming extinct, visit your local Westfield and see what you find. There are no more specialty maternity stores in the big centres. Pumpkin Patch no longer do maternity wear, Mothercare went broke, Room 4 Two went broke too. David Jones and Myers haven't bothered with maternity wear for years and I am told that Big W have dropped maternity wear this season. That leave KMart and Target but there range is going to bring you to tears unless you like shapeless, black, t-shirt fabric garments.

So come on people! BUY MATERNITY WEAR from a proper maternity wear store....NOW! (Pretty please)

PS. There seems to be a demand for second hand maternity wear on sites like Gumtree so you can always sell your clothes when you are finished with them. (Not your cheap crap though because that will have fallen apart within a few weeks).

Thanks for listening.
