Belly Bandit?

Did anyone wear anything like the BB or the actual Belly Bandit after the twins? Do you think it helped?

My OB ordered an abdominal binder for me after my cesarean on wednesday. I feel far better this time than I did last. I think it's definitely helping me recover and helping my uterus shrink down.

I had a c-section and so I came home with the hospital binder. Toward the end of my pregnancy I bought a belly bandit.

I think that a lot of the efficacy of either binder would have to do with your pre-pregnancy body type. I have always had a smaller, higher natural waist and larger hips. The hospital binder was very elastic-y but would kind of stretch out and didn't give as much abdominal support as the belly bandit. But the belly bandit was much stronger and would make me feel like I could breathe better!

My biggest complaint about the belly bandit, as someone with larger hips, is that I could never get it angled right due to its band width...it would always have a lot of gapping at the top because I couldn't get the velcro strip angled far enough to really fit me. If you have a smaller hip to waist ratio it might fit you better!

I ordered the bb but returned it bc I hated the material and was afraid of where it would hit on me. I ordered a bellefit today, which was twice as expensive, but looks much more like what I will want.

I used both this and the hospital binder. I actually preferred the one feom the hospital. It might just be my body type, but I would recommend using one or the other. It TOTALLY helped shrink me back very quickly. Additionally, I had a C-Section, so it gave me extra support when I moved around that made me much more comfortable.
