why we love it

The most meaningful way to say "I care for YOU.”

When everyone's attention turns to soothing and holding baby, who's doing the same for mom? We are. You are. Our Deluxe Postpartum Recovery Set contains Nyssa's five essential postpartum recovery products: our FourthWear Postpartum Recovery Underwear and Bralette, plus our reusable Breast/Chest, Uterine, and Between Legs Ice/Heat Packs. Together, they give the wearer cooling comfort or soothing heat in all of the places most affected by birth and the bodily changes that occur during the Fourth Trimester.

Give yourself or someone you love everything they need to #GoFourth.

Fourthwear

We designed our collection of FourthWear Postpartum Recovery apparel and care items after being let down by the lack of functional, comfortable, and effective products available to help us heal postpartum. Birth demands a lot from women— it’s time to demand better care when it comes to our recoveries.

FAQs
Need support? Just ask us.
Is FourthWear Underwear for caesarean or vaginal birth recoveries?
We often don’t know exactly how our birth journey will shape up, no matter what our plans are. FourthWear Postpartum Recovery Underwear is designed specifically to provide ultimate comfort for both caesarean and vaginal birth recoveries.

For vaginal recoveries, FourthWear provides a widened gusset to accommodate large postpartum pads and a comfortable high waist that can be folded down to meet the needs of changing bodies. An ice/heat pack (one of Nyssa’s specially contoured packs or one of your own) can be inserted inside the garment and placed between the legs to soothe vaginal and perineal pain, swelling, or sutures. Another pack may be placed over the abdomen or in the back to ease pain related to postpartum cramping and any other discomfort that stems from delivery.

For caesarean recoveries, FourthWear provides the same functionality along with a smooth, soft fabric over the incision area. Ice/heat packs may be placed over the site of an incision to help reduce pain and discomfort and to facilitate healing of the incision area.

For vaginal recoveries, FourthWear provides a widened gusset to accommodate large postpartum pads and a comfortable high waist that can be folded down to meet the needs of changing bodies. An ice/heat pack (one of Nyssa’s specially contoured packs or one of your own) can be inserted inside the garment and placed between the legs to soothe vaginal and perineal pain, swelling, or sutures. Another pack may be placed over the abdomen or in the back to ease pain related to postpartum cramping and any other discomfort that stems from delivery.

For caesarean recoveries, FourthWear provides the same functionality along with a smooth, soft fabric over the incision area. Ice/heat packs may be placed over the site of an incision to help reduce pain and discomfort and to facilitate healing of the incision area.
Which size of FourthWear Underwear is right for me?
Figuring out the right size for your changing body might seem a daunting task. We make FourthWear Underwear with super soft, incredibly stretchy fabric that flexes and adapts to your changing figure to make it a bit easier. Whichever size you wear in maternity clothing can translate to the perfect underwear size. We recommend choosing the smaller size if you are in-between sizes. For example, if you wear a large in maternity clothing, we recommend purchasing the M/L, whereas if your maternity size is XL, then our L/XL would likely be the better fit. Importantly, the seamless high-waist can be rolled down to maintain a tighter fit as your body changes after giving birth.

Everybody’s body is different. We all gain and lose weight throughout the birth and recovery process at different rates. For the majority of people, weight gain and loss will happen mostly in the belly region and along the hips. FourthWear Underwear is designed to change with your body; however, if a significant amount of weight is gained or lost (+80lbs), you may need to purchase an additional size.
Which size of FourthWear Bralette is right for me?
Bra sizing can be wildly confusing. Typical U.S. and U.K. bra band sizes do not correlate to the actual band measurement. Please see our size chart to match your typical band size with the accurate measurement and FourthWear Bralette size. As not all band sizes (i.e. 36C) correlate with a specific measurement, we recommend measuring under your bust for the most
accurate measurement to determine the right size for you.

As our bralette is made from the same stretchy material as our underwear, the ‘cup’ of the bralette is intended to stretch with your breast size. After delivery, the breast size can change quickly and daily depending on milk production. Our bralette was designed to accommodate that shift in size.

If you still have questions about your specific sizing needs, please reach out to our customer support team at hello@nyssacare.com for specific information on your individual question.
When should I use ice and when should I use heat?
Ice therapy is the traditional weapon of choice for dealing with soft tissue injuries that involve swelling. Cold therapy, also called cryotherapy, reduces blood flow, which mitigates pain-causing inflammation and swelling. This makes ice a useful tool for everyday pain management and application wherever there is swelling (eg: incision site, chafed nipples). Heat, on the other hand, opens vessels to increase blood flow, making its application critical for alleviating muscle pain and removing blockages caused by clogged milk ducts.
Are the materials and cooling agents in the ice/heat pack safe?
The exterior of our ice/heat packs is made of an FDA-approved knitted plastic/fabric composite to keep the ingredients within the pack. The cooling agent is comprised of naturally derived ingredients: Glycerine, Water, and Sodium Polymer (polyacrylate), which is often used in baby diapers. These ingredients are all non-toxic and approved by the FDA.
Can the pack be used directly on the skin?
Yes. However, placing any ice/heat pack directly on the skin can cause tissue damage, particularly for sensitive areas such as the perineum. For hot therapy specifically, please make sure that you safely and thoroughly test the temperature of your pack prior to placing it directly onto your skin.
