I realize that it took nine months for my body to complete its baby-making journey, so I really ought to be patient and give it nine months to recover. Especially after a c-section.  But patience has never been my strong suit and I want to wear cute undies again. Is that so much to ask?

Since I've moved past the initial healing stage, I'm loving Czela Bellies, a great intermediary solution before you're ready for your lacy stuff again. This cute boy-short style underwear has an ultra-soft waistband that won't irritate those still-tender scars. Not only are Czela Bellies (dare I say it?) sexy, they're definitely worth wearing long after you've healed. Being in a hurry to get back to my old self, I'm definitely a fan of the wild and colorful prints, but they've got sensible plain white ones too. 

Psst...If someone wants to send me a bunch of La Perla thongs for review, I'll gladly check those out too. Just give me a few months. -Julie

Congratulations to Czela Bellies winner, Chris C!
