What I Wish I Had Postpartum (So I Made It)
Wicks began in those hazy, holy weeks after childbirth—the time when your body feels like someone else's, and you live in a rotation of stretchy fabrics, burp cloths, and endless vulnerability.
It was during this chapter that I first wore period underwear, and I wore them every day for weeks. Day after day, it itched, dug in, felt clinical. It left me thinking: Surely, we deserve better than this.
That seed of frustration grew into Wicks: absorbent lingerie that honours the female body not just in design, but in intention.
Wicks Intimates' first collection was born from that very need. With no elastics and a softly supportive waistband, it holds space for healing bellies and postpartum bodies adjusting to their new normal. The absorbent layering offers discreet protection—perfect for everything from heavy flow to light leaks, for lochia tapering off, or just to help feel secure again.
More than a product, it’s a gentle luxury. A quiet ‘you’ve got this’ for those 3am feeds and those first shaky steps outside with the pram.
If you’re in it now—or planning for it—Wicks is the comfort I wished I had in those early days. And now it’s yours.
