Australian Cult-Favorite Women’s Compression Brand, TheRY, Announces Official U.S. Launch

TheRY Group, the Australian-born luxury compression healthwear brand that is redefining how women experience support, today announces its official expansion into the United States. The science-driven, medical-grade garments are now readily and more easily available to the U.S. market through a new distribution location.

Founded by father-daughter duo Lauren Davenport and Clyde Davenport, TheRY, short for The Reason Why, was created to fill a glaring gap and challenge a long-standing double standard in recovery. While elite athletes are prescribed biomechanically engineered compression garments to improve circulation, reduce muscle oscillation, and accelerate healing, women recovering from pregnancy and childbirth are often told pain, swelling, leakage, and pelvic instability are simply normal, and are advised to “rest” and “do Kegels.”

“There was more innovation going into a runner’s calf sleeve than into the bodies of women recovering from childbirth,” says Clyde Davenport, one of the original founders of global performance brand 2XU. “That made no sense to us.”

Drawing on decades of sports-science research, TheRY is creating an entirely new category of wearable wellness for women. The elite graduated compression technology goes beyond stretch and support, delivering true physiological benefits to women during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and every life stage. Some benefits include improved circulation and oxygenation, reduced swelling and fluid retention, stabilization of core and pelvic floor, accelerated healing and enhanced postural support.

“Women give birth and are expected to walk out of the hospital with disposable underwear and hope,” says co-founder Lauren Davenport. “We would never do that to an injured athlete. Why do we do it to mothers?”

TheRY develops its garments in collaboration with pelvic health physical therapists, clinical midwives, doulas, registered nurses, and OBs, designing for physiological function not just aesthetics. The result is premium, TGA-listed medical-grade healthwear, with clinically recognized graduated compression (the same class used in hospitals for surgical recovery and thrombosis prevention) reimagined in refined, confidence-forward silhouettes.TheRY’s garments support women navigating pregnancy-related swelling, prolapse, diastasis recti, varicose veins, postpartum instability, and other often-overlooked pelvic health challenges. Brand favorites include:

• Saviour Maternity Compression Leggings: Reduces swelling in legs and feet, reduces risk of varicose veins, lower back and belly support, improves maternal blood flow to baby.
• Uplift Pelvic Support Brief: Lifts and supports perineal region, supports symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), relieves pelvic girdle pain, relieves pelvic prolapse symptoms, lifts and supports the pelvic floor and pelvic organs to aid treatment of stress incontinence, supports and gently compresses vulvar tissues to help relieve heaviness and discomfort from vulvar varicosities.
• Restorer Postpartum Compression Leggings: Supports abdominal separation, supports C-Section recovery, reduces postpartum swelling and fluid retention, reduces risk of blood clots and DVT.

In Australia, TheRY has built a cult following among mothers, midwives, and women’s-health professionals who report seeing patients recover faster, move with greater confidence, and return to daily life sooner without feeling like they are wearing medical equipment.

With its U.S. launch, TheRY brings its science-backed, medically engineered approach to a market increasingly ready to speak openly about postpartum recovery, pelvic health, and the realities of women’s bodies across life stages.

The company’s name, The Reason Why, reflects its mission: to give women answers, validation, and access to tools that genuinely support healing, from pregnancy and postpartum to perimenopause and beyond.
