Waist trainer

Hi! Visiting from April. I searched and couldn't find any thread...

Is anyone using a postpartum waist trainer?  If so, what brand and what do you think?

TIA!

Re: Waist trainer

  • I used the Belly Bandit. I feel like it did help me shrink down faster but once it started to get creases in it, it was too uncomfortable to wear. I liked it for the abdominal and back support but don't think it worked any sort of magic that my
    body wouldn't have eventually done itself.

  • I also use the belly bandit and I put it on for one full week post partum and now I am doing it like every other day. I think it works well but yes, it can be uncomfortable, especially if I need to sleep in it. I am tired enough to not care I guess... But there were nights that I decided to just take it off. It's pretty effective I think. I used it for both kids and was able to get back to my old fat jeans by week 2 or so. Like pp said, your body will eventually get you there anyway but it helps me feel more like my old self after a couple of weeks.
  • Thank you! I didn't use anything after my first son was born but I'm open to it this time.

  • I had the same experience as the other posters. Never used it with my first but recovery was very similar. I did not wear it at night but day only for two weeks.

    I had a Belly Bandit too.  Nice, comfortable, I got mine for $20 at a local shop, but wouldn't have wanted to pay full price for one.  I enjoyed the support it gave me but I don't feel like it reduced my waist size down to what it had been.  My body would have done it on its own.  But again, the support was very nice.
