Could you please share the name of the company where you found the undergarment? I have had 3 surgeries for rectal prolapse. I am trying others options and this undergarment sounds like a good one. Thank you.

I want to do that but Mayo said because I am new to the forum I need to wait a couple of days before putting a name or website URL on here. ( spam) I am anxious to tell other women because so far I am finding them a God send. I have only been using them for a week, but I have been struggling with this for a long time and a year ago it took a turn for the worse. The pants are made for vaginal prolapse but they are working well for rectal prolapse. Lets try it: do a search for Underworks. I bought 523 and 521. So far I have only tried 523. They have 5 stars all 20 reviews,

I tried 321 yesterday and find the legs too tight. They are cut more like a regular pair of briefs with French cut legs like my regular briefs, but the elastic is not covered and binds. I am not overweight. My rectum is not out all the time, unless I strain or have a lot of stool backed up. Which is good. At times I have felt I had it figured out but then I get constipated and here we go again. I am going to keep trying to fix it with the right garments, Kegals and pelvic floor exercises, but the best I will probably do is control it, which would be acceptable. I have no desire for surgery. This is a complicated surgery with a lot of moving parts. I have had 3 surgeries for vaginal vault prolapse and now I also have a rectocele although I no longer have a bulge. That is with using hormone patches and vag creme. The problem is constipation caused it and I still have it so the surgery fails every time. So I would get the boy cut briefs and if you are heavy set talk to them about going up a size. I may do that with the other style, go up a size. Also, as I said, it is not always bothering me and when it isn't an immediate problem, I like to wear some tight shorts made by Marena. I wore them all the time until it got bad. The people at Underworks are really good. Good luck. Let me know if you try them.
