Belly Bandit
The postpartum girdle is becoming a very popular way of getting back into shape after pregnancy. When you first see your post pregnancy belly you may despair of ever being able to get it back into shape again.
It comes as a great shock to most new mothers, just what your tummy looks like immediately after delivery. But you really can get back into shape and wearing a postpartum girdle can help enormously. You do have to have a little patience though – this is not going to happen overnight.

Postpartum girdles are enjoying a big surge in popularity – and the reason for this is quite simply that they actually do work. The idea of some form of support or binding being worn in the postpartum period is far from new. In many cultures it is a routine practice and has been for many generations. In the Western world it is now no longer widely used but mothers are now returning to it as a way to regain their former shape.
The postpartum girdle works by supporting the abdomen and encouraging the internal organs, which were displaced by the growing fetus, to return to their original positions. This helps to reshape the abdominal area. A postpartum girdle also helps the abdominal muscles to repair by supporting them and keeping them in position.
Do Postpartum Girdles Really Work?
The answer to this seems to be a very resounding ‘YES’ from women who have used them. The majority report that their post pregnancy belly went back into shape more quickly than they expected and that the results were permanent. Even women using a postpartum girdle for the first time after a second baby said that they got back into shape more quickly, which does suggest very strongly that they do work and the benefits are real.
C Section Girdle
If you have had a Cesarean Section then your recovery period is going to be that bit longer. Also you will be experiencing discomfort around the incision area. Wearing a postpartum girdle gives support to the incision, keeping it protected and helps it to heal more quickly. The girdle also supports your abdominal and back muscles making it easier to cope with mobility during the recovery period. Many women who have used a postpartum girdle after having a Cesarean Section said that it did help significantly.
