Has anyone had success using something cheaper than the Belly Bandit but meant for the same thing? I see posts frequently on third tri with pics after using the Belly Bandit. It seems like most people talk about using two sizes. I really don't want to have to buy two of these at the price they are! Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks ladies!
Re: Recommend your cheaper version of Belly Bandit?
Ask for an abodominal binder when you are at the hospital.
Even though I had a vaginal birth, I' used a regular ab binder from day 1. When it got too big, I purchased another one from the pharmacy.
I use the binder to prevent ab separation, and for comfort when standing/ sitting.Both my PT & OB recommended using one.
By day 10 post pregnancy, I look,ed like myself again. My belly is flat, and not jiggly. However, I think this is mostly due to good genes and working out religiously during pregnancy rather than binding.
GL!
This. I just asked my OB to "prescribe" one after my c-section and the nurses got it for me- free
I haven't used it much (and my tummy has still gotten pretty flat pretty quickly) but I liked having it as an option.
