Pelvic Floor Support Underwear for Prolapse? HEM Support Wear Explained
In this episode of the Active Mom Podcast mini-series
Inside Pelvic Floor Support: Devices, Fit & What You Should Know, we’re speaking with:
Lauren Fleming, Founder @HEM Support Wear—an external pelvic floor support device company based out of Central Texas (just outside Austin).
HEM Support Wear is a woman-founded pelvic health company redefining what support looks and feels like. After developing pelvic organ prolapse following the birth of her first child, Lauren couldn’t find a discreet, comfortable option that actually helped—so she created one.
We Talk About:
• how the device works mechanically
• who it may be a good fit for (and who it’s not)
• how to use and fit it in real life
• where it fits alongside pelvic floor rehab and return to activity

Important Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
Listening to this podcast does not create a provider–patient relationship, and the information shared is not a substitute for individualized care. Pelvic floor symptoms, exercise tolerance, and recovery vary widely—what works for one person may not be appropriate for another.
As you listen, it’s important to remember: these are device companies.
Which means the language you’ll hear is often marketing language—not always updated medical or clinical language.
Many of the people behind these products are not medical providers—and they are definitely not your medical provider.
That doesn’t mean the devices aren’t helpful.
But it does mean context matters.
So as you listen, consider:
• How this applies to your body
• Whether this sounds like symptom management or capacity building
• Where individualized support might still be needed
Always consult with your own healthcare provider before making changes to your care, exercise routine, or use of any device discussed in this episode.
