Why: My sister had her first baby five weeks ago, and for the last three weeks she’s been wearing her Belly Bandit wrap, a clever “abdominal compression binder” designed to help new moms get back to their pre-baby body. Very simple to use, you just wrap it around your belly and get the perfect fit by adjusting the Velcro straps. My sister wears hers religiously day in and out and has nary a complaint.
At first, she was hesitant to wear it since she had a C-Section, but she quickly became a fan because of all the support it provides. Not only does she nurse more comfortably and confidently because wearing the band improves her posture, but she can’t get enough of all the extra support it provides her tummy section. She likes how she can cough and laugh out loud without worrying about “popping a stitch.”
But her favorite part about the Belly Bandit? She thought that they custom-made it especially for her since her initials and her baby’s initials (Barbara and Brandon) are printed all over the band.
