Belly Bandit Original Postpartum Belly Wrap - Belly Wrapping & Compression for Postpartum Recovery - Ease Back Pain - Promote Mobility & Core Support

I was skeptical to buy one of these but a friend of mine told me that it worked so I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. I didn't buy the Belly Bandit until I was 6 weeks postpartum (though I wish I would have done it sooner). Before I became pregnant, I weighted 115 lbs and after giving birth I was already down to 123 lbs but I still looked 4 months pregnant. I knew I was gonna have some work to do to get back in shape but I was not expecting my belly to be so distended. Lots of other moms assured me that it would go down in 6-9 months...6-9 months, I didn't want to buy a whole new wardrobe because of my belly! I thought about buying some shapewear but decided to try this first and I had immediate results (100% true story). Within 2 days my belly shape completely changed and flatten out and I had a belly button again! That's right up until this point my belly button was still sticking out and all stretched out. I was SO glad to have my belly button back!! I have been wearing the Belly Bandit for the last 10 days and I am still seeing results (though for me the most notable happened in the first 2 days). Totally believe in this product! It is not a miracle worker. I still have work to do on my belly and that will happen through diet and working out but the Belly Bandit DID reduce my pregnancy belly significantly enough that I can wear most of my old clothing and not look like I am still pregnant and that makes this product worth every penny!

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 bought this item with a lot of hesitation. But I am so glad that I did. I bought the small. Prepregnancy I was 5'4" and weighed 128#. I gained 35# with the pregnancy. The size small was very close to not fitting. But it did, and I wore it, and got great results. I feel like wearing the belly bandit just quickened the shrinking of my belly and uterus. A great item, but not the most comfortable thing ever...but worth it.

Too expensive for the product. I ordered the small based on the website recommendation. Pre-pregnancy I was about 130lbs before giving birth I was about 160lbs. The website had recommended I order a small. After giving birth the small did not fit me. I had to use another belt for about 2 weeks before the Belly Bandit fit me. It provides good compression and back support but after wearing it for about 3-4 weeks it got very creased and now the creases dig into my skin and are super uncomfortable especially if I am sitting down. I would say the money is too much for a product that will become uncomfortable in a few weeks due to the creasing. I dont see any way to avoid the creasing either. I would recommend spending your money on a different product.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM !! Is very small and not wide enough and for the price you can get something better and even if you don’t take it out of the original package they only give you credit to Amazon

At first the belly bandit is comfortable, if only work for a couple of hours. However, once it starts to form creases and they start digging into your skin, the belly bandit is painful to wear. The material isn’t soft or flexible making it uncomfortable for wear longer than an hour or two.I regret purchasing this item and cannot recommend it to anyone.

Most of the advertisements for this product emphasize how small and beautiful you'll feel/look after/while wearing this product. The truth is, after having a baby, you're likely going to need the support. My ab muscles, after labor/delivery, were so worn out that I couldn't stand up straight after delivery. It took me a day or so to get around to pulling this out of the box because I was sitting/laying down most of my early week+ of recovery. *However* Once I put this thing on, I could finally stand up straight! I had the support I needed for walking around, and that was such a relief! I do think it helped my abs heal "back" where they needed to be.If you're curvy, like me, it's gonna bunch up in the back. I managed to get mine to fold over into one big fold, and that made it okay. Most of my friends who have tried it have had the same problem.Also, most of my friends and I needed more than one size. I needed the original size the first week (or so) and then after that I needed a smaller size. Some friends have had success sewing additional velcro to it to extend the usability of the first one. Others (like me) just bought a second size... 'cause it was easier (who wants to pull out the sewing machine when you're baby is 2wks old?)
