Postpartum Belly Binding

Hi! I'm due Dec 4th with my first, and I was wondering if anyone has used a belly band in your postpartum recovery and if you found it helpful and if you did, what brand did you use? Thanks in advance 😊

I wanted to, but I ended up having an emergency cesarean and was in way too much pain to use it straight away! After about a month when I could wear normal clothes again, I did wear compression belly leggings instead of a band, and honestly, I felt like it sucked everything in so well (still wear them 10 months pp) x

I did the one above for a few days but it was uncomfortable and I don’t think it did much for me. Instead I did vacuum seal breathing every time I looked in the mirror after 4 weeks where you suck in tummy but continue taking breaths. I think that helped so much

I had one similar to the one above and it more so helped my back 😅 I thought it was ok but one more thing to remember to do and I stopped after awhile, I found my belly shrank back on its own, didn't really think I needed it. But I like the idea, I've also seen the ones you do with fabric and I think that is really beautiful.
