Belly Bandit 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'm still pregnant so I haven't "worn" this yet but wanted to at least start a review because I think there may be serious sizing issues. I went to the Belly Bandit website and used their size calculator. I entered my measurements for 33 weeks and it said get an XL. I entered the same measurements for 34 weeks and it said large. I did both weeks because there is some discrepancies with my due date. I ended up ordering the large, thinking that it's better to be a little tight than too large, especially given how quickly I'll shrink after the baby is here...well the large came and it's huge! I'm 35 (or 36) weeks and I can actually wear it! So even ordering down when in between sizes is clearly not enough. I imagine this will work for about a week and then I'll need the medium. I'll update once we get there, but heads up, even if you are at the tip top of a size range, you still may benefit from ordering another size down... 8/9/16 Update: My suspicions were right - I was only able to wear this for about a week before it was just ridiculously too large. If you are between sizes, or on the lower end of a size, I personally would recommend going down a size, especially if you want it for more than just a few days after birth. On the up side, I did find that those first few days when it DID fit, it helped with that "hollow" feeling you sometimes get while standing after a delivery. I also have diastasis recti and found it helpful in giving me a little support while standing to cook meals, etc. This was not comfortable when sitting - it would just dig into my ribs, sides, hips, etc. Fine while standing, but sitting was awful.

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.

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.
