Yeah I bought one two days before I had DS in hopes I would use it. I bought the Belly Bandit. Total waste of my money. I had a c-section so it rubbed my scar horribly and I couldn't wear it right after. And then I waited till scar healed and tried it again, but it kept riding up and would not say put. It was so uncomfortable that I just stopped wearing it all together. Maybe I'll try ace bandages this time like the PP mentioned!
I know lots of cultures bind after birth to help with the waist coming back, so it's safe but I guess we just have to find the right way to do it. Hubby suggested going and just buying some jersey material and wrapping it tightly around. Just food for thought. There's still ways you can cinch without having to waste money on the shoddy products like I did!
I didn't clinch...I didn't know I should and my husband didn't want to spend the money....I wish to God I had and I will be doing so this time. So my advice: do something, someway, somehow.
