Abdominal binders?

DanandVanDanandVan member
in C-sections

Hi, first time on this board! At my ultrasound a few days ago we discovered that little one is transverse. If she doesn't move by tomorrow, we will be scheduling a c section.

What are your thoughts on abdominal binders (like Belly Bandit, etc) for after surgery? Also, I don't think I'll have enough time to purchase one online. Do they sell these at Walgreens or maybe Motherhood Maternity? Thank you!

    Had a Belly Bandit and hated it. I have a short torso and and a short gal. That thing rode up all the time and even with the small it was never small enough. Thats just my opinion. Some people swear by them. Not me. Want your belly back eat right and exce

    Personally I loved the one the hospital gave me. I never purchased one, I just kept using theirs. I did have to ask the nurses for it, but it wasn't any trouble to get it. I would try that before you spend money on one.

    I liked the belly bandit because it gave my back support since my abs weren't doing their job. I doubt it actually made a difference flattening my tummy.

    I had my c section on March 2nd. I have the Belly Bandit BFF, I started wearing it the day after. It is totally comfortable even over the incision. I do feel like it is helping flatten out my tummy faster. Like a pp said, I also like the extra abdominal s
