Product Description
We asked, what garment would we make to help women that suffer from vulvar varicosities, whether during pregnancy or not, that suffer from prolapses, and that would help those that have hernias or may get them? We looked around and saw what was available and we said no that’s not it!. We need a garment that is just that, a garment, a brief, a panty that may be worn everyday just the same way women wear their regular underwear already. So we went to work and created it. The Underworks Vulvar Varicosity Support Brief is made to be highly effective in alleviating pain and reducing symptoms associated with vaginal swelling. Also known as vulvar varicosities, these are varicose veins at the outer surface of the female genitalia (vulva). They occur most often during pregnancy. As a result, blood pools in the veins of your lower extremities as well as your vulvar region causing vulvar varicosities or Lymphedema. This brief has two overlapping bands built into it that run through the pubic area providing compression and relief from vulvar swelling and overlap exactly where a floor of support for the pelvic area is created at the bottom. This helps in relieving prolapse such as Cystocele (bladder protrudes the vagina creating a bulge), Rectocele (rectum bulges into the back wall of the vagina), and Uterine prolapse (uterus drops into the vagina). The drawstring waistband allows for a lot of flexibility in locating the garment and tightness desired. Inguinal hernias occur in the abdomen near the groin area. They develop when fatty or intestinal tissues push through a weakness in the abdominal wall. This brief is effective in creating an artificial firm lower abdominal wall of support that alleviates the pain caused by existing hernias such as Inguinal hernia and Femoral hernia and that of future hernias. A hot/cold therapy pad designed to fit perfectly in the crotch sleeve is included. Hot and cold compress are effective in easing pain and reducing swelling.

Included is a hot/cold therapy pad that fits in the sleeve to provide relief from pain and promote circulation to the area.
- An inguinal hernia occurs in the abdomen near the groin area. They develop when fatty or intestinal tissues push through a weakness in the abdominal wall near the right or left inguinal canal. Each inguinal canal resides at the base of the abdomen. This beautiful brief is effective in creating a firm lower abdominal artificial wall of support that alleviates pain caused by existing hernias such as Inguinal hernia and Femoral hernia and to help in prevention of future hernias.
