Bellfit Corsett versus C-Section Recovery Kit

flgirl20134

I am looking at some options to help with recovering from the C-section. I read that The Bellfit corset and C-section recovery kit are both good options for helping to shrink your uterus and make it easier to move around without disturbing the incision site.

I am hoping for some feedback or recommendations from STMs/TTMs on these or other ones that might be better.

How did they work? When did you start using them? TIA.

No way in hell would that first one be comfortable or practical after a c/s when you will be wearing huge pads for days/weeks.  Looks like that thing would be a complete PITA.  And I think that csection recovery kit is a total rip off.  WTH do you need a "skin brush" for?  The binder posted above would be sufficient.  I got a Belly Bandit on zulily a couple weeks ago for $26 so I'll be using that this time.  Haven't used one for my previous 2 c/s and not really sure that I will like it.  I know I really didn't want anything tight fitting so I'm not sure how this is gonna go but I have heard that some people really like it so I figured it was worth a shot since it was on sale.

My doctor ordered a binder at the hospital that I paid nothing for that worked great. I would ask your dr before spending money.

I would hold off on buying anything. I got a band in the hospital. Just ask your nurse. They should be able to get you one.

I got a binder at the hospital that they gave me when I got out of bed. Beforehand, I was also concerned with shrinking the uterus, etc but in reality as soon as I stood up I felt this weird "hanging" feeling in my stomach and they out the binder on me and I felt much more normal and like everything was in place. I'm one week post and have only taken it off to shower. I lucked out with two so I can still wear one while the other is laundered.
