belly wrapping to ease discomfort - how long?

For those of you have worn a belly wrap to support sagging muscles and ease pain (not for waist/hip shrinkage), how long did you have to keep wearing it?

I've been wearing a post-surgical abdominal binder 24/7 since day 8 post-c-section. I tried to sleep without it a few nights ago and ended up in so much pain I felt like I was starting all over. It's getting hot here and I'm ready to shed this bulky extra layer! I'm also ready to walk around without feeling like I've been punched in the gut.

@anniemore‌ Hmm... I'm at 2.5w now, so maybe I can cut back next week or so. Mine is comfy but I'm still tired of it.

Are you cleared for exercise yet? I'm guessing I'll still have to wear it for workouts even if I quit the everyday wear.

I started wearing my binder day 2 post csection. Pretty muh wore it 24/7 for 3.5w. I've started wearing it less over the last few days because of the heat and it's been ok.
