What is the Belly Bandit?
It is an binder that compresses your abdomen to help get your body back into its normal shape after childbirth. The Belly Bandit helps to decrease water retention, reduce swelling in your uterus, and gives support to your back and legs. There is an additional bonus for nursing mothers: it will help with your posture during feedings.
Essentially, the Belly Bandit will assist in getting you back to your pre-pregnancy hotness quicker than ever!
Although everybody knows what causes stretch marks (ie: stomach growth and the stretching of your skin), most people have never considered the post birth period and other possible factors. The extra skin that has been stretched and pulled during pregnancy can continue to "hanging around". Greater support of this loose skin might actually lessen tension which may in turn decrease the appearance of stretch marks after delivery.
Binding women's abdomens post birth has been used therapeutically all over the world for centuries. Constant pressure against the mid-section has many benefits. It has been known to help flatten the stomach while helping to keep your back straight, which helps to minimizes pain and fatigue right after delivery.
The Belly Bandit's smooth, light-weight construction is specifically designed to be worn comfortably under all your clothes and was made without any tags to irritate your skin. This basic uncovered version is the one that started the abdominal binding craze! The Original is simple, effective, economical and all-together cute!
HELPFUL HINTS FOR SIZING THE BELLY BANDIT
Due to the tremendous variations in the size and shape of women's bodies, it may be challenging to size yourself for a Belly Bandit, but getting the right size is essential for comfort and effectiveness.
If you are buying one early in your pregnancy, it is usually best to go up 1-2 band sizes from your pre-pregnancy belly size.
By the eighth month, many women will be at the same size as they will be post-birth. Just measure the width of your belly by going around the largest area. Choose the band made for this measurement.
If you are near your due date, just subtract 3-5 inches from your belly measurement. Select the band for that size.
If you are buying your Belly Bandit after you give birth, simply choose the band that corresponds to your current measurement.
The Belly Bandit is made to adjust up to five inches so it can stay tight as your belly shrinks.
