Post Partum Belt / Girdle
Just wondering if any girls have ever used a post partum belt / girdle and can recommend one?
(yes i realise i am getting very ahead of myself - but im a plan and prepare type girl LOL)
something like this
Postpartum Recovery | Pre-pregnancy Jeans |Bellefit Maternity | Bellefit Maternity - Postpartum Support | C-Section & Natural Birth Recovery | Medical Grade Girdles & Corsets
I had my belly bound after I had ds...but there was nothing like this in the market in australia at the time so i did it the old fashioned way with some thick linen, safety pins, and lots of strength from DH. I wore it virtually 24/7 for the first 6 weeks and by my 6 week checkup my stomach was washboard flat and firm as it had been pre pregnancy and have never had any 'jelly belly' or wobble - and i genuinely believe i owe it all to the binding (coz i didnt do any exercise!)
Id rather 'buy' a belt / girdle though this time round because im hoping it will be as effective whilst being less bulky, and I don't want to have to rely on DH to 'wrap' me up if i use the same method as last time.
So i was wondering if anyone could recommend one they have used?Mummy to DS10 who is the light of our world

Hi lassie,
I used the bambo belly bandit after dd, as I had a friends wedding 5 weeks after she was born. I was back in my normal jeans just over a week after she was born and at the wedding everyone wanted to know what I had done to get my figure back so fast. I had a Caesarian so no exercise for me either. The only problem is I had to get them in 3 sizes which worked out expensive but I have them for next time tooDD Christmas 2010

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
