yes it really does help, i learned the haed way. it helps keep it secure, it really helps keep panties or pant on your incision & to help prevent from opening up.
I didn't use one. I had a pretty easy recovery. I had one inside stitch that caused pain and discomfort for about a week, but I didn't have any problems beyond that.
They have them in the postpartum unit in the hospital- ask for two! I wore mine for about 7 days after.I have to say it did feel good to wear it, made me a lot less sore. Once your milk comes in, it gets EVERYWHERE so its good to have a spare when one is in the wash!
