Thoughts on post-natal belly-wrapping?

Anyone tried this? Do you think it helped get your belly back to normal faster? or was it just a comfort/aesthetic thing?

    I did w/the first one, didn't do w/the second one. I feel like it was easier to get my belly back to shape w/the first one, but i dont know if its because of the wrap or because its generally more difficult the second time around since your muscles are more relaxed. I'm definetly doing it this time around just in case.

    I feel for me that it helped.  With my first, I used an ace wrap and stayed wrapped for about a week.  My belly was flat within days.  With my second birth I had a c-section (due to an almost complete placenta abruption and the incision is vertical vs. horizonal) and I used the compression wrap they gave me at the hospital and I used it every day for weeks and within 2 weeks my belly was flat.  If I ever get lucky enough to have baby #3 I will use a wrap again.
