Question

Hi, I just got a clean hefsek after a C Section. However, the waistline on all of my white underwear rests directly on my incision and is really painful. The special high-waisted underwear I bought for recovery is all colored. Is it OK for me to wear the colored recovery underwear during the 7 nekiim?

Answer

Mazal tov!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Yes, in this case you can wear the colored recovery underwear during shivah neki'im. If you have access, you can place a disposable white pantyliner to be able to notice any staining.
Refuah sheleimah! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
