Motherhood may do wonders for your self-confidence, but it sure doesn’t make you feel like putting on a bikini. Even women who don’t gain a lot of weight during birth, or who only have one child, can wind up with a belly that feels downright unsightly: crisscrossed with silvery stretch marks, loose, flabby, wrinkly, even (particularly in women who have had C-sections) the dreaded “mother’s apron,” a flap of loose skin that hangs over the pelvis like an apron.
You can tone and diet all you want, but you probably won’t ever look like you did pre-birth. If that impacts your sex life, you have a few choices. Turn down the lights, close your eyes and try not to worry about it, seek surgical help, or just cover it up. If you decide to go for the last option, you might find SexCies of interest.
Created by a woman bummed out about her own mother’s apron, SexCies is a new line of “shapewear” designed to be worn while you are having sex. It looks like a ruffled corset, but it’s shaped especially to hold in all your lumps and bumps while you’re doing it. The first SexCies product is the CorCelette, with ruffles on the bottom and lacing on the sides that can be adjusted for post-partum changing figures.
