Bodyguard
Your absorbent lingerie dedicated to Postpartum
In 2020, while the world was battling the COVID epidemic, we sadly witnessed a setback in women's freedoms to control their bodies and fully experience motherhood.
This is when an idea grew in Audrey's mind, our creator. The desire to contribute, in her own way, to freeing the female body from the constraints it faces in a mother’s life. Naturally, she turned her attention to postpartum. The very moment when trusting your body is essential.
The challenge? Combining the comfort and femininity of Cache Cœur with the super-absorbent powers of Curve, to blend softness and performance, all within an ethical and eco-friendly approach, values cherished by both brands.

What is postpartum?
Technically, it is the period between childbirth and the return of menstruation. Some professionals agree that it lasts even longer.
Physically, it is notably marked by lochia. The body sheds the endometrium, the blood lining that once lined the uterus. The perineum, overstrained during pregnancy and childbirth, can give you some trouble. If you are breastfeeding, the first few weeks can also mean milk leaks, which may vary in abundance depending on the woman.
Psychologically, the arrival of a new baby is a whirlwind. A 100% dependent baby demands your attention 24/7, and sometimes it's tough. Sometimes, your plummeting hormones make you experience all sorts of emotions. That's what #postpartum is.
How does it work?
1 - Draining Spacer
The micro-perforated spacer drains moisture quickly. In contact with your skin all day, the material is antibacterial and odor-resistant.
2 - Absorbent Material
A core of ultra-absorbent multi-fibers. This material has a very high absorption capacity. You are protected for up to 12 hours straight without leaks and no unpleasant odors.
3 - Waterproof Film
Completely waterproof, it prevents leaks even the heaviest ones! Thanks to this fabric, blood and milk stay inside the absorbent material of the panty, bra, and camisole of Bodyguard.
An Innovative Design
Breastfeeding pads directly integrated into the bra.
It was so simple! Unique in its kind, the Bodyguard bra and top are the very first pieces with the Curve pads directly integrated. With Bodyguard, you can dress with peace of mind. No more mental load, you don't need to pack anything in your bag.
A washable sanitary pad sewn directly into the underwear
Discreet on the outside but highly effective on the inside, this is where the beauty of the Bodyguard underwear lies. The protection is ergonomic, and the unmatched Curve technology keeps you dry and comfortable. You might even forget you're wearing it... Wanna bet?
Truly effective absorption
Classic period underwear absorbs on average 20ml,
Bodyguard = 120ml
When we say leak-proof protection for 12 hours, we mean it—12 hours.
The Bodyguard line is specially designed to be worn for an entire day of motherhood. (And we know it's an active one!)
The 3 Essentials
The Ultra Absorbent Bra
The Bodyguard bra has been specially designed to make your first days of breastfeeding easier with your baby. We know how urgent the desire to nurse can be. With the clips, you can easily fasten and unfasten. Baby is nursing on one side and the other is leaking? No problem! The bra is perfectly equipped to handle leaks, even heavy ones. Our integrated pads ensure a dry day for you!
The Ultra Absorbent Camisole
Because in the postpartum period, sometimes you just can't be bothered to get dressed, Cache Cœur thought of everything. With the Bodyguard camisole, no more nursing with your belly exposed. The bra is directly integrated into an ultra-comfortable top. Don’t forget the clips and the nursing pads integrated, and you’re (almost) dressed to face your day!
The Menstrual Panties for Postpartum
The Bodyguard panties are perfectly suited for postpartum. Wear them all day or all night, no leaks guaranteed! No more mesh panties and uncomfortable pads. Choose the panties for a sustainable and eco-friendly protection solution. Perfect for postpartum, foolproof for your period.
These Details That Make the Difference
A Soft and Flexible Fabric
A postpartum or nursing underwear needs to be ultra-comfortable. We chose Tencel, an eco-friendly, durable, and ultra-soft fabric. The ribbed knit perfectly adapts to breast fluctuations and follows your movements day and night. Once worn, you’ll forget you’re even wearing it!
A Wide Elastic
Because the body has been greatly strained during childbirth (whether vaginal or cesarean), we chose soft and gentle elastics. Made from recycled fibers, they provide excellent support and prevent leaks without marking the skin.
A Slightly Shaping Panty
The high waist of the Bodyguard panty provides reassurance with its support and shaping effect. As your center of gravity has just changed, the panty rises over your belly and back to help relieve your balance during the postpartum period.
An Eco-friendly and Sustainable Solution
No pads, no nursing pads, no headaches!
On average, a woman uses 10,000 sanitary pads in her lifetime. On top of that, she uses nearly 3,000 disposable nursing pads if she breastfeeds for about 6 months. If we also consider the trips to the store, the mental load, and especially all those non-recyclable components that end up directly in the trash, the environmental impact is significant! Choosing Bodyguard is a step towards zero waste.
Tencel Made in Italy
In addition to being ultra-soft and hypoallergenic, Tencel is eco-friendly, durable, and biodegradable. Made from eucalyptus wood pulp, its manufacturing process is sustainable, non-toxic, and produces no waste, with over 99% of the process being closed-loop and recycled.
An Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified Range
Like all Cache Cœur and Curve products, the Bodyguard collection is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. This certification meets the strictest market requirements for harmful substances. It guarantees the absence of harmful chemicals.

How many times a day should I change my panties?
It depends on the flow's abundance. We recommend changing your panties every 8 to 12 hours.
