They gave me one in the hospital, but didn't tell me how long I should wear it. It does give me more support when standing up, sitting down, etc, but it makes my incision & the nasty bruises I have down there hurt even more. I've been taking it off after a few hours because it makes my pain worse. How long are you supposed to wear it for?
I had no issues with mine. They told me to wear it for a week, I ended up wearing mine for almost 3! Both times and will definitely be wearing it longer this time.
I wore mine the first night in the hospital! I found it to be so much more uncomfortable than not wearing one at all. I felt worse when I wore it. I tried it a few more times, but it just plain hurt.
I wore mine for almost 2 months. However, I had to have laproscopic surgery when 3 weeks PP so I was in a lot of pain. Also, I wore it a little longer since it helped my 3 year old understand that mommy had a big boo boo and that he had to be careful of mommy's bandaid.
