Let’s Talk Scars, Mama – And Why Silicone Scar Tape Is Your Post-C-Section Secret Weapon

Let’s Talk Scars, Mama – And Why Silicone Scar Tape Is Your Post-C-Section Secret Weapon

So you’ve just had a C-section (or maybe you’re prepping for one), and while you're falling in love with your new tiny human, your belly is looking a bit… battle-scarred. And guess what? That’s totally normal. You just brought a whole new person into the world—of course there’s going to be a bit of a mark.

But if you're thinking “Okay, thanks body, love you—but let’s help that scar heal nicely,” then let us introduce you to your new postpartum bestie: silicone scar tape. 🙌

Wait—what is silicone scar tape?

It’s not just any old tape, promise. This isn’t the same roll your partner used to wrap the extension cord. Silicone scar tape is medical-grade, soft, flexible, and made specifically to support your skin while it heals.

Our Maia Mum silicone scar tape is designed to:

* reduce redness and smooth out scars
* flatten raised areas
* relieve itching and discomfort
* blend in beautifully with your skin tone (so it's not screaming “LOOK AT ME”)

It’s waterproof, reusable, and ultra-gentle on sensitive postpartum skin. Plus, it stays put—so you can wear it under your clothes and forget it’s even there.

Why use it after a C-section?

Because C-section scars are no joke. Your body just performed major surgery and now it’s in recovery mode. Silicone scar tape works by creating the ideal healing environment for your skin. It helps regulate hydration, reduce tension on the scar, and protect it from irritation.

Bonus? You can start using it once your incision has fully closed and healed (always double check with your midwife or OB), and keep it as part of your healing routine for as long as you like. Many mamas see visible improvements in just a few weeks.

 

How do I use it?

Simple, mama:

1. Clean and dry the scar area.
2. Cut the tape to size and peel off the backing.
3. Apply gently over your scar—press it down like the proud warrior you are.
4. Wear daily for 12–24 hours, then remove, clean, and reapply.

You can reuse each strip for up to 7 days or until it loses its stick. Our roll gives you 150cm of tape, so you’re sorted for the long haul.

Real talk: it’s not about hiding the scar

Here at Maia Mum, we believe scars are strong. They tell your story. You don’t need to erase them—but you can support your body’s natural healing and feel more comfortable in your skin while doing it.

So whether your scar is new or you’re years down the track and still wanting to give it some TLC, our silicone scar tape is here for you. Just like we are.
