Original Postpartum Belly Wrap - Adjustable Compression Abdominal Binder for Recovery - Supports Core, Waist, Back After Childbirth - Eases Discomfort, Promotes Movement

I just wanted to write a review for us bigger girls. I did not see any as I was reviewing this product. I loved this! I got it 2 weeks postpartum and it worked. I ordered a size large and I was at the max for inches. When I put it on the first time I did have to lay down as it was to small at first. I would have loved to have the problem where it got to big and I would have to buy the next size down but I didn't. I still love the results I got. In the first two days I noticed a difference. Yes, it is uncomfortable but worth it. I slept with it on, If you can handle it do it! Everywhere I went friends and family told me I looked great and didn't even look like I had a baby. Is that not the best thing you want to hear after having a baby!? That was so important because I'm already big so still having the rounded belly is not cool at all. I still wore it for another 2 weeks not all the time but alternating with shapewear and It seriously lifted my saggy after baby skin. So, I didn't have the pregnant look and my saggy skin was lifted believe me It's worth it.

I am shocked by all of the low ratings for this product! I began wearing this garment approximately 24 hours after I gave birth (I was too sore to put it on right away). I gained 18-20 lbs during my pregnancy, and lost all of that weight within a week and a half. Now, I will say that a healthy diet and exercise have been a large part of my pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and post-pregnancy plans, but there is no doubt that this item has helped my waist and stomach shrink back down to my pre-pregnancy size very quickly. I love how it gently waist cinches and works with my hormones to shape my torso. I find the garment to be very comfortable and try to wear it 24/7 (other than when I bathe, of course); I even sleep in it, that's how comfortable it is. I love how it holds my core in nice and tight, but not too tight, and provides support for my back, which helps with my posture. I plan on wearing it for 8-12 weeks.

i love these. i'm a neuro physical therapist and love that they not only add support, but they work as a neuromuscular reminder (consciously and subconsciously) for the abs to contract. **not like doing sit-ups -- they won't give you a six pack, but they work similarly to kinesiotape. i was lucky enough to borrow the size medium and small form a friend, as I went through them pretty quickly. I wore size medium postpartum on day 4, and graduated to the small within a few days. The details: I had a vaginal birth & I did wear it day and night -- it was easy bc they are comfy and once you get into the routine, it's not too bad -- along with all the other postpartum nonsense (peri-rinse bottle, changing pads, olive oil on the sore nipples etc, etc). the size small quickly became too big so i ordered the extra small. after about 2-3 weeks of wearing the belly bandit, i wanted a break from constantly wearing it, and it's been harder to get back into the habit of wearing it 24/7. this one tends to fold a little which is annoying so I'm less inclined to wear out and about, but for the first few weeks, while i was at home living in my PJs, it was easy. because i went through the sizes so quickly, it is unfortunate that they are so expensive. i'm not sure if a regular hospital grade abdominal binder wouldn't do the same thing. maybe BB should consider packaging a few sizes as a bundle for a lower price?

I'll make this succinct as possible because that's what I wish someone had done for me. Because now I have it and can't return it. Before you spend loads of money on one of these things, assess your reasons for needing one. This isn't horrible and it isn't great. Here's how you make your decision. If you're wanting something for right after you give birth to pull your tummy in and help with ab separation, and you're going to be primarily staying at home, this will do the trick. But if you want something to pull you in to go out in public, this is not it. It's uncomfortable and rides up and sits under your breasts uncomfortably especially if you're breastfeeding and it's very obvious under clothing. However, it does help pull your abs together and flatten your stomach faster. For later when you want to pull things in when you go out in public, I found this too late but am thinking about buying it anyway. It's easy, doesn't ride up because it's a whole piece and it's not one of those annoying crotch corsets either. It's a compression tank top called the Tighty Wifey. Check it out here: http://store.bellefit.com/tighty-wifey-compression-tank.php I must say I am surprised that the Belly Bandit is the most well known and pushed product when they really are not perfected at all. Even I could come up with a better way to make these things. Tighty Wifey came closest to what I had invented in my head of what would work great. Check it out!

i was so excited to get to order this while i was still pregnant, and planned to use it from the day of birth thru 6 or 8 weeks. i was QUITE disappointed when it was FAR from fitting me at the hospital. i ordered a cheaper abdominal binder off amazon after a few days of the BB still not fitting me. it was great- 4 days later i was able to get in to the BB and i was excited to switch. i've been wearing the BB for 3 days now and i am still quite disappointed in it. it bunches and rides up my back (making it completely noticable under even jeans and a tshirt), its incredibly uncomfortable (more so than just squishing all my insides LOL), i'm constantly pulling it down and almost have to re-do it every time i sit/stand up. i will say that it does seem to be working w/ the squishing the belly back down, but so did the much cheaper alternative (and it was actually semi-comfortable). i would definitely recommend the cheaper belt over this one to any of my friends.

Once the proper size was figured out my wife was very happy!

The colours in the photograph selection do not match up to the text. I’ve ended up ordering the wrong colour as a result. Very annoying.

Es muy incómoda y no se adapta para nada a tu cuerpo. Al tener un solo velcro, cuesta poder ajustártela correctamente. A los dos días de llevarla ya tenía unas arrugas enormes que no había manera de quitarlas cosa que me hacía estar aún más incómoda. Nada contenta con la compra.

Wife wasn't able to use as it was too stiff/not comfortable. She was able to get the correct size (closed just enough) but it was too hurts to wear under her rib cage and difficult to sit with.

No está mal. Es una faja como cualquier otra. La use para postparto y la verdad que para el precio que tiene .... no me ha encantado. Es como cualquier otra faja solo que más cara. Para mí no merece la pena gastarse esa diferencia de precio con una normal, porque no aporta ningún valor añadido comparado con otras del mercado. Sin más

Tolles Produkt und ideal nach der Schwangeeschaft. Wir sind mit dem Produkt und den Ergebnissen sehr zufrieden!!! Sehr hochwertig verarbeitet und tolle Qualität.
