Anyone use Belly Bandit, etc?

I've seen these mentioned on other boards and was curious if any of you guys used one.  I'm thinking of getting one, however I would think it'd be really uncomfortable, especially with a c-section.  So anyone have any good luck?

    is that to suck you back in??? I didn't use one.  Are you planning on BFing?  when you BF, your uterus contracts back in to place and helps get things back to "normal"

     

    and FYI - w/ a csection - your belly will never be the same :)

    I didn't use one since I had a c-sec...I didn't want anything touching my incision area for a while.

    And I agree with Sarah...your belly is never the same after a c-section.  I have lost all my pregnancy weight plus some but my belly well it's just jiggly quite honestly...I am working on it but I just don't think it will ever be like it was pre-pregnancy :(

    I didn't use one, but found (as Sarah said) that BF helped a ton!

    After the pp bleeding stopped, I started wearing my Spanx pretty regularly, to hold the jiggles in.  They are still there, though.  Even w/o a C-section.  But, I'm not known for my dedication to working out, so I can only blame myself!

    I had one and honestly, I don't feel like it did anything. It was stiff and just overall uncomfortable. Instead, I recommend just getting some spanx instead.

    I did, but it was more because of the staph infection in my incision than anything.  I'll spare you the details :-)
