For those who wore a belly band/compression garment after C section...

How was your placement? My incision is so low that if I try to cover that whole area with the band I can't sit comfortably. The way I have it now leaves my incision uncovered. The bulk of my swelling and "jelly" belly is covered however. 

I just want to make sure I'm using it properly. I didn't even know about these bands when I had my first c section but wanted to try one out this time around. TIA.

    I don't have an answer for that but I am curious what kind you got?

    Thanks!

    i wore mine where my incision was covered. my placement was about and inch and a half from the incision, like down on my hips a little. that is just what was comfortable for me. i think you can wear it however it helps you the most!!

    This is the one I got after doing a lot of research.

    Mine covered the incision, wore it around my hips went up to the bottom of my ribs.  As my belly got smaller it would ride up more often.

    It was placed over my belly, not my incision. It was really low, but I could still bend enough to sit.

    I had the one provided by the hospital and a Belly Bandit. Hated them both. My surgery was super low and I am short with a short torso so it rode up all the time. Not worth it IMO.
