Belly Bands post pregnancy?

yay or nay.

just started looking into them and I see they're for regular birth or c-section.

Has anyone used one? Did you find it actually worked? What brand?

I had three belly bandits. I kept having to get a size smaller. My belly went down really fast and a lot of people noticed.

Yup! AWESOME!!!! Seriously. I was told my stomach looked so flat for just having a baby. If I went a day with out it I could def tell. Wore it for 3 months and had a natural birth. The only thing is they are a little annoying because they ride up lol

Re: Belly Bands post pregnancy?

Belly Bandit was the best money I ever spent. I felt so much better when I was wearing it and I am confident it helped my tummy go back down faster. It also helped me feel more like myself after delivery. I had a natural birth but with everything shifting around inside of you after delivery, when I wasn't wearing it, I felt like my insides were going to fall out of my stomach. Def buy one!

I used one. It was uncomfy and didn't do a thing.

Re: Belly Bands post pregnancy?

The hospital sent me home with one. I started using it when I went home (5 days after my csection) and wore it for a few days. It definitely helps relieve some pressure on my stomach, but I don't think it fits right because I have a very short torso and this literally covers me from boobs to hips, lol. I still wear it at night at home sometimes though.

I got mine from the hospital and it was the best. I bought one from BRU and I hated it and found the hospital one worked the best, I had a CS too and it was amazing how fast it worked

Re: Belly Bands post pregnancy?

I used one and I LOVED it! I kept having to get a smaller size bc my stomach kept shrinking. And I really think it helped a lot with reducing my stretch marks. Bc I had them pregnant and I used the belly bandit and they pretty much faded away.

And the only time I took it off was to shower. And then I put it right back on after!

Re: Belly Bands post pregnancy?

I didn't wear my Belly Bandit for long (maybe 2 or 3 weeks) but I do think it helped with support and getting more control/strength back in my torso. I put on regular jeans two weeks after I delivered. Was also in a wedding exactly one month after DD was born and everyone commented on how great I looked. I think the combination of short meals, breastfeeding, and the belly bandit was what really helped to get me back to pre-baby weight and shape (or even better) within a couple months of having her.
