Belly Bandit Original post-pregnancy tummy wrap Reviews
After my granddaughter’s baby shower, I asked her what one gift she really wanted that she did not receive. She replied a “Belly Bandit” and that it was available on Amazon. I found the listing and then asked her what size and color and ordered it. I came within 3 days and she is very happy with it. Oh, Baby Andrew was 8 lbs., 13 oz. and 20″ long!!!I got the Couture instead of original, because that’s the only style my local maternity store carries and I want to look at the size before buying. At $50, it seemed really pricey for a piece of fabric with Velcro on it. Turns out that this is the best money I’ve ever spent on body sculpting! I was quite thin, so I was definitely worried that I will never fit into my skinny jeans again. This band does what it says – I started wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes and jeans again when my baby was 8 weeks. My friends were amazed at how fast I got back in shape.
Also, wearing it shortly postpartum gave my abdomen and back the support it needed. My stomach was quite saggy after birth (sorry ladies, but it takes time for the skin and muscles to tighten up). Belly binding helped keep my innings in their right places and prevented any bowel movement discomfort. I felt I have my body back faster when my abdomen is well supported.
My only complaint is that this is a little too long, heightwise. I am 5’4″ and naturally have a short torso, and the band goes from the chest right under my breast to the hip. It keeps my back really straight when I sit, which makes me feel awkward, so I only wear it when I sleep or going out – basically when I spend a good deal of time stretching out. However, if I were taller I can imagine wearing it all day, as the construction is sturdy and the fabric is really comfortable.
At $50, it is a treat for me. But consider how much other useless pregnancy and baby related stuff cost, this is well worth it.
