Hey diddle diddle, you’re unhappy with your middle? Well, you’re about to be over the moon! For this little band, will give you a hand, to get back in your skinny jeans soon!
Ok…Let’s get serious. Your questions and our answers:
WHAT is this miracle-working, belly banding
goodness all about?
The Belly Bandit™ is an abdominal compression wrap designed to assist you in bringing your body back to its former beauty and proportion after child birth.Postpartum wraps have been known to help reduce the swelling of the uterus, decrease bloating caused by water retention, support your legs & back and provide additional comfort and support for you breast feeding moms. Ultimately the Belly Bandit™ will aid in getting you back to your pre-pregnancy bod faster than ever!
WHY haven’t I heard of the Belly Bandit™ before?
That’s what we said when we found out about postpartum wrapping of the belly! Who knew? Smart women around the world that’s who! The binding of a woman’s
abdomen post delivery
has been used therapeutically for centuries all over the globe. It is believed that increased and constant pressure against the abdominal area has benefits such as, flattening the belly and redefining the waistline
while helping you keep your back straight minimizing associated pain and fatigue. We’ve just perfected a comfy garment that is tailored to your body after giving birth..
WHEN can I start sportin’ my Belly Bandit™?
You can start using it as soon as the day after you give birth (even after a c-section)! Wearing the Belly Bandit™ after a c-section may help to decrease post-op recovery time
by minimizing associated incision pain, which allows greater mobility post-surgery! We recommend prior to use that you consult your physician.
WHO will know I’m wearing a Belly Bandit™?
Only those who you want to know! Relax ladies, first of all this is NOT a girdle. This is simply a breathable and comfy exclusively tailored belly wrap to assist your body in regaining its former beauty and proportion after child birth. The Belly Bandit™ provides strong support to relieve discomfort and give you the extra confidence you deserve post partum. Our smooth lightweight construction is designed for you to wear comfortably under all of your clothes and our tagless design won’t irritate your skin. We may be biased, but we actually think it’s kinda cute.
HOW do I wash My Belly Bandit™?
Your Belly Bandit should be hand washed. Please make sure to wash it in cold water and air or line-dry. Do not wring this in order to remove excess water as it may damage the strength of the piece. Washing in hot water or drying with an electric or gas dryer may also damage the product and cause shrinkage. The drying process can take up to 12 hours. Due to the continuous periods of time you are advised to wear the Belly Bandit it is recommended to purchase two. Having two will enable you to always have a freshly clean one available while the other is being washed.
FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS
We suggest you wear the Belly Bandit™ snuggly around your waist day and night, (if discomfort occurs remove and consult with your doctor). Just take it off to shower…then wrap yourself right back up again! The Belly Bandit™ should be worn at least 6-8 weeks post delivery to reach maximum benefits. The Belly Bandit™ should fit snug with constant pressure on the belly, but without any impact on breathing, circulation or discomfort in your ribs. As always diet and exercise play an integral part when trying to reach your pre-pregnancy size.
NOT PREGNANT BUT INTERESTED IN THE BELLY BANDIT™?
Although the Belly Bandit™ was designed for postpartum women, there is no reason why you shouldn't wear it whenever you can or want to, especially if it makes you feel good. And it does! Some additional benefits of the product are extra back support and improved posture. We all know that when you feel better, you tend to be more active. This may lead the way to more movement and in turn may help with exercise (and you can wear while working out). Don’t forget that when you are using your core muscles you engage the important focal point and its here the work out truly begins. Ask any trainer, its all about using your core muscles to build strength and tone the body. This is like wearing a rubber band around your wrist “aka” a reminder to be aware of your core and engage! Now the good part….you look slimmer in clothing and feel better wearing those shirts that you stuffed away in the closet because you didn’t like those “extra rolls” or you promised to put it back on after you lost the “spare tire”. So even if you don’t have kids we know, every little bit helps.
HAD YOUR BABY AWHILE AGO, MAYBE 3 MONTHS, A YEAR, MAYBE MORE?
Although we recommend wearing your Belly Bandit™ right after you deliver for 6-8 weeks, there is no reason why you shouldn't wear it whenever you can or want to. Some additional benefits of the product are extra back support and improved posture. We all know that when you feel better, you tend to be more active. This may lead the way to more movement and in turn may help with exercise (and you can wear while working out). Don’t forget that when you are using your core muscles you engage the important focal point and its here the work out truly begins.

Now the good part….you look slimmer in clothing and feel better wearing those shirts that you stuffed away in the closet because you didn’t like those “extra rolls” or you promised to put it back on after you lost the “spare tire” around your waist. So even if you didn’t just have your little bundle of joy last week or event last month….we know, every little bit helps. We’ve been there.

Here’s what makes our Belly Bandit™ Collection oh so special….
Goldilocks has nothing on us. We’ve scrutinized and tested every last detail to make you the most comfortable and fabulous looking postpartum mommy ever.
• Elastic. Don’t really think about it much, do you? Well, you don’t have to, because we did! Belly Bandit’s™ elastic has the perfect amount of tension to straighten out your back without tightly squeezing you or loosely rolling down your body.
• Material. Instead of sewing pieces of material together, which breaks down the strength of the elastic, we chose to use only one piece of material for our Belly Bandit™. Our design wears better over time because the durability of the elastic isn’t compromised.
• Customized. We have a Beverly Hills OB/GYN on board who helped create and finalize the Belly Bandit™ specifically with the postpartum woman in mind. But don’t worry, we also had the hippest team of hotties in town making sure the Belly Bandit™ is not only functional, but ridiculously cute. From our Basic to Couture to Bamboo, all of our styles are designed to make you smile!
• Comfort. Our rounded soft edges were created so that you don’t have excess material that digs, cuts or jabs your skin. After countless trials of textiles from around the world, we found the perfect materials that don’t bunch under your clothing. Also, our tag-less design won’t irritate your skin.
• Earth-friendly. Our bamboo line is not only environmentally friendly, it’s one of the most natural fibers out there. It’s also three times more durable than cotton. Fabric made from Bamboo is one of the softest, GREENEST, fabrics around. Remember, going green even in the smallest ways will help the planet!
• Economy-friendly. Our Belly Bandit™ Collection is exclusively made in

What’ll the ‘ole doc have to say about all of this?
‘Ole doc’ll tell you that wrapping the abdomen after a c-section actually helps decrease
post-op recovery time by minimizing associated incision pain, which allows for greater
mobility post-surgery. While the Belly Bandit™ wrap is not medically necessary, our
Mommy clients love the feel of everything being pulled-in and woven tightly together.
The best part is that you can start using it as soon as the day after you give birth. Since
everyone’s body is a little different if you have concerns or discomfort occurs please
consult your physician (aka ‘Ole doc).
Here is what our top Beverly Hills OB/GYN, Dr. Jay Goldberg had to say to our questions…
Why should a new mother use the Belly Bandit™?
Abdominal compression wraps provide additional back support and expedite the rate at
which the abdomen returns to its pre-pregnancy state.
How does the Belly Bandit™ work?
It compresses the portion of the body it’s wrapped around, forcing the lower back to
straighten and taking tension off this area. By constricting the abdomen, the Belly
