Girdle - too late?

btm013

Hey Mama's. Has anyone worn a postpartum girdle with success? Also, did you wear it since Day 1 after you gave birth? I'm 10 weeks PP from a C-section and don't know if it would be too late to start wearing one and expect the same results. You would think I'd be fine, right? Anytime I attempt vigorous exercise (running, kickboxing, etc.) my insides feel all jumbled - if that makes sense! Not to mention I still look 6 months pregnant.

If you found success with the girdles, which brand do you recommend? How long did you wear it for?

I wear mine every once in a while and it's helped my skin pull back. It also makes me feel more "human". I had a csec, too. It's hard to feel like your insides are in the wrong place, it's helped. I didn't start wearing it until my staples were out, and I don't wear it every day because the Velcro scares LO, so I have to time putting it on/taking it off. Some days I just don't care.

@bethanne09 What brand do you have?

It starts with a G, I got it off of Amazon. It's essentially a really basic back brace

It was about $15

I got a girdle from the hospital. I only wore it while I was there. It job at felt bulky got some post partum panties from Motherhood Maternity. Those worked much better for me. They didn't feel as bulky and they were much easier to put on.
