Here's a great product I gave to a friend who recently gave birth to a baby boy I have yet to meet.
And I can't stress enough how important it is to wear one of these after giving birth.
Meet the Belly Bandit, made of smooth lightweight material, designed to be worn comfortably under your clothes.
When I gave birth more than nine years ago, only one store had a decent post-partum belly binder with velcro—Chicco at SM Megamall.
Made in Italy, the binder was a bit large/long for my short torso, I had to trim the binder to make it fit comfortably. And then I had to seam-bind the raw edges that were rubbing against my skin (luckily I know how to sew).
How inconvenient.
So now it's great that Belly Bandit is here in Manila.
"The Belly Bandit® is an abdominal compression binder designed to help you get your body back to its former fabulousness post childbirth.
Not only does the Belly Bandit® help reduce uncomfortable uterine swelling, it aids in decreasing bloating caused by water retention, and gives additional support for Mommy’s weary legs and back.
For breastfeeding moms, there’s a bonus… the Belly Bandit® will help you with your posture during feedings, and may help reduce the all too common back and shoulder pain associated with breastfeeding.
Ultimately, the Belly Bandit® will aid in getting you back to your pre pregnancy hotness faster than ever."
I know it can feel really hot due to our tropical weather, but if you want to get your figure back, you have to wear one of these for at one month after giving birth.
P.S. I just found out you can use these too if you're recovering from an abdominal operation, such as myomectomy, laparotomy, C-section, etc.
Find them at Mothercare stores in Greenbelt, Trinoma and Shangri-La Plaza. PHP 3,295.
