Belly Band Postpartum?

Does anyone have experience wearing a bellyband postpartum for abdomen and pelvic floor healing? Does anyone know how long you should wait after vaginal birth before you start to wear it? Do we think it’s a hoax, or actually helpful? 39 weeks on Wednesday!

I wore a binder immediately after birth with my second son because it felt so weird to just have all my organs bumping all around 😅 i feel like it helped a lot with swelling and overall comfort

Immediately after birth is fine👍🏼 wear it everyday and I would say that after 6-8 weeks you can use a more aggressive one, it helps a lot

Thank you! Do you have a recommendation for the one you used?

I used the one from the hospital. Aeroflow also offers. There's a copay and you need a prescription. Spear physical therapy has pelvic floor therapists. They're great

I wore one but because I have sciatica. It helped my stomach flatten faster and support my back. You can wear it right away but I wore it almost a week after birth because I had postpartum hives. So my stomach was very itchy.

The one I wore was a maternity belt but it also works as postpartum.

I had both a regular belly band and I used the bengkung method. It definitely helped me overall.
