New motherhood brings both emotional and physical changes.  It involves new beginnings and abrupt endings. Sleep, spontaneity and sex are likely to come to a screeching halt! But perhaps one of the biggest adjustments is the changes to a woman’s body following pregnancy and childbirth.

I’ve talked here on the blog about the some of the indelible marks of childbirth. The crinkly skin that rests below my belly like a kangaroo pouch (minus the joey) is just one of the “souvenirs of my pregnancy”. Let’s put than in the “what I have gained” category. Other things I’ve gained include stretch marks, varicose veins and a crushing fatigue. And then there’s the “what I have lost” category and that’s fairly extensive too. I’ve lost a fair degree of bladder control and my babies have sucked my breasts lifeless. Coming from a control freak, relinquishing control comes with great reluctance.

Being a parent means making compromises and sacrifices every day. And mothers sacrifice A LOT. Oh yes, we know most of it is for the greater good, but it doesn’t mean we can’t go down fighting. Take my lingerie drawer, for example. The onset of motherhood brought dramatic changes to that drawer and it began before the baby was even born. A wise mother who had gone down this path before me advised me to buy a selection of dark coloured knickers, two sizes larger than normal. Surely not two sizes bigger, I thought, reluctant to purchase granny undies. But indeed they really did need to be that much bigger!

I used to love lingerie especially my matching sets of Victoria’s Secret underwear that made me feel very womanly. I enjoyed looking good under my clothes. But my matching sets were selected less and less once I became a mum. I began to favour comfort over style and boycut became my preference. And then I discovered FOXERS.

Cheeky & Comfy!

FOXERS is a new lingerie brand to hit Australia, which is not only incredibly comfortable but also stylish and sexy (and here I thought they were mutually exclusive). FOXERS are essentially boxers for girls, but with added lace, bows and stunning colours. After all, why should men be the only ones to have comfortable underwear?!

And I’m not the only one who finds FOXERS perfect for changing bodies. When pregnant with her son, Alicia Keys bought 13 pairs of FOXERS to get her through her pregnancy and beyond. Not sure that will ever appear on a trivia quiz, but now you’re armed with that knowledge should it ever. As for the stylish and sexy bit, well Beyonce, Rihanna, Jennifer Lawrence and many more super cool celebrities also wear them. And I do too!

FOXERS offer a product for everyone. Whether you’re after looser fitting (but still cute) boxer briefs, boyshorts, g-strings or lace boxers, the patented FOXERS band ensures that you’ll be comfortable at all times (and is perfect for hiding any tummy bulges that may be lingering over from pregnancy). So let’s put that in the ‘win’ category!

They come in sizes from XS to XXL and have matching tank tops and camisoles also available. To ensure your lingerie drawer stays fresh and pretty, FOXERS launch a new range of colours every 2 months, with the ‘Kaleidoscope range’ just released and available online now at www.foxers.com.au.

FOXERS Australia is giving away a gift voucher valued at $100 to one lucky reader. All you have to do is head to their website and simply comment in the section below what you like most in their collection – whether it be the boxer briefs, boy shorts or the gorgeous range of cami’s.

    I have a toddler and a 12 week old and am feeling pretty flat about my ‘new’ body and have plenty of tired old undies. So new ones would be great! These look both comfortable and sexy! Just ruined a pair of undies on sat running the Brisbane stampede!

  9. Lizzie Midgley says

    Hmm, quite like the aqua lace boxers with chevron trim. I know what I will be looking at post baby #2 due in 2015.

  11. Kate says

    Love the Foxes lace Boxers! They look the cutest and least wedgiest undies ever! And how cool would it be to say “I’m wearing Foxes Boxers” 🙂

  13. Natasha says

    These are FABULOUS!! I just adore the Royal Blue Lace Boxers – I cannot believe I have never heard of this brand before – thank you for sharing them!

  22. Elizabeth says

    I love the Lace Boxers – especially the Aqua Lace Boxer With Chevron Band – such a pretty colour with that pop of brightness in the band! They look amazingly comfortable! I’ve put on a little bit of weight recently and feel really blah about my body shape right now. I just got engaged on the weekend and I think these would be just the thing to make me feel sexy again for my new fiancé! Gorgeous!

  23. Sharon Markwell says

    The boy shorts are cute, cotton and comfy; a mix of sporty athleticism with a touch of feminine lace which is very appealing
