"We strongly encourage all post-C-section patients to take advantage of the support the Belly Wrap products give to the abdominal core muscles in order to initiate physical activity from a lying down or sitting position to a standing position during the immediate postoperative recovery course. We have also found that our patients feel more confident about initiating and continuing to remain mobile post surgery by having the support needed to minimize pelvic pain post surgery."

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.

How do I wear belly bands after C-section?

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.
