Absolutely! In fact, The International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics has found that. “abdominal binders can be an effective, simple, non‐pharmacological option of relieving pain and distress after a Cesarean delivery.”

Since every woman has a different post-surgical experience, the timing varies from woman to woman. While some women wrap 2-3 days post-delivery, others find waiting a week or more to be more advantageous. It's a personal decision based on your recovery and comfort level. If you have concerns or questions about when to start wrapping, we recommend discussing it with your doctor.

Doctors recommend using a belly band after a C-section to help relieve postpartum pain and discomfort.

Yes! The International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics says wearing a Belly Wrap post-C-section is safe and, “can be an effective, simple, non‐pharmacological option of relieving pain and distress after a Cesarean delivery.”

You don't have to wear a wrap after a C-section. However, they have been shown to reduce postpartum pain and discomfort.

We recommend wearing your Belly Wrap immediately post-delivery for a minimum of 6-10 weeks. However, many women find wrapping to be effective long after this initial period. If you're breastfeeding, the hormone relaxin may stay in your system longer, giving you even more time to benefit from postpartum compression.

Wrap the band around your midsection. You can position it around your waist or pull it lower around your hips, depending on your comfort level. The ideal fit is a snug one, with constant pressure on the belly - but without any impact on breathing or circulation. (If discomfort occurs, remove the wrap and consult your healthcare provider.) Before sitting, try pulling the wrap lower on the body.
