3 in 1 Postpartum Belly Band - Postpartum Belly Support Recovery Wrap, After Birth Brace, Slimming Girdles, Body Shaper Waist Shapewear, Post Surgery Pregnancy Belly Support Band (S/M, Beige)

I needed compression on my abdominal area after abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck as it's also known. I am currently in my third week post operation, and have been wearing this belt for a few days.This is a review for: "2 in 1 Postpartum Support Recovery Belly Wrap Waist/Pelvis Belt Body Shaper Postnatal Shapewear,One Size." I am currently a size 6/8 dress, 5'6", 150-ish, a couple days post surgery I measured my waist at 33 inch. This fits well.The surgeon sends you home in a compression garment that holds you in well, but within a week, that garment starts rolling down at the top and up at the bottom, especially as you sleep or move around. I found myself in a constant struggle to keep it in place, which defeats the purpose.Frustrated, I went online and began searching for something sturdier and longer lasting, given that I'll need to continue wearing compression wear for several weeks to months. I looked at many options online and on Amazon. I finally decided to give this one a try. The price I paid was $22, and the reviews were good. I also like that this is intended for medical application - post partum. I figured it could work similarly for those who are post tummy tuck, and I was right.This garment comes in two pieces, and you wrap it around yourself to the desired tightness. It attaches by velcro. The larger piece I use on the top of my abdomen just under the breast area and it reaches just below my belly button. Depending on my mood, I am able to pull this sucker as tight as I want, or just tight enough to achieve the prescribed post surgical purpose. And there is so much support! I love it. I then wrap the second smaller piece around the little pooch of my tummy on and under the belly button to just above the pubic area. Again, I can stretch it as tightly as I want. With the two pieces, I am now compressed from just under my boob line (that's a medical term, by the way), to right above my pubic area. On me, there is even a bit of overlap between the two pieces.This belt is world's better than the one provided by my plastic surgeon which stopped being truly functional after about a week and which cost me $48 -- more than double what I paid for this item, which is much higher quality. In fact, I plan on wearing this belt to my next follow up appointment to show my doctor an alternative that he might want to consider using or recommending for his patients after the garment he provides begins to fail. My only regret is that I did not research this before surgery and have it at home, ready to go when it was time to transition out of the quickly-worn-out-and-entirely-too-expensive-white-basic-belt routinely used by most plastic surgeons.I have only been wearing this a few days, so I can't comment on it's longevity, but it seems like it'll last a while, even with months of 24/7 wear. We shall see, but at this price point, even if it were to wear out after a month or two of wear and washing, I would buy another as I intend to continue wearing compression garments for several months to ensure the best possible results of my very expensive procedure.My boyfriend tells me this doesn't add bulk under my clothes. I wore a dress that used to be form fitting before my surgery, and he was impressed that he couldn't even tell I was wearing the belt under my dress. Even so, I'm experimenting with other compression belts for when I have to return to work and wear business suit attire. I haven't tried this under my work clothes yet, but in these hot, muggy, oppressively humid Florida streets, I can tell you that too many layers of clothing can be a bad thing. Still, even if I'm not using this under my lined suits during the work day, I'll be wearing it at home, to sleep, and running errands. It's very comfortable and pulls me in so tight I haven't been able to finish my dinner the last two nights. And I like that.Don't be like me and spend hours reading reviews and scrolling through endless options. If you're in need of abdominal compression, just buy this. Just do it. The time I spent researching before buying this could have been spent on much better activities like Netflixing, petting my cat, or aggravating my kid for my personal amusement.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This product is super helpful specially during postpartum recovery! It helped my wife support her belly and help uterus contractions. The material is soft and is easy to put on as well. I like the fact there are 3 belts to support every section of your belly, waist and pelvis

I am about 208lbs post partum. My baby is not quite 2 weeks old. My abdominal muscles have separated a great deal I'm sure, (this is my 7th baby) and my muscles are really tender and sore, almost like a bruise, and its awful if I need to get up from sitting or relaxing at all.I bought this hoping it would help. I got an XL (I'm pretty in-between sizes, usually between an XL and XXL, but it really depends on the brand of clothing/item). I made the right choice with the XL; enough compression, I'm not busting out of the belly belt, and it isn't loose at all.I have yet to figure out the other 2 belts. The woman in the instruction pamphlet is a lot thinner than I am, and I may have a longer torso. The belly belt feels great, but I do wish it was wider, so as to cover from right under my bust all the way down to the top of my pubic bone. I'll be ordering something like that soon.I will be keeping this. Hopefully I'll figure it out and will be able to use it correctly.I can't get the belly band on myself without the velcro wrinkling. I can get the waist belt on easily. The pelvic belt is also easy for me to do myself.

It feels really comfortable to my body and I can feel right away how well it supports my back and belly - "just right" appropriate compression where it needs. I like the quality of fabric and overall quality of this product. size feels alright. Definitely fully satisfied with purchasing of this wrap and looking forward to getting back to my normal shape soon with the help of this. Would recommend at this point.P.S. Will update my review (on how it worked) after some time of wearing the wrap/belt

I’m 7 days post-op from an open myomectomy, 5'7" and 165 lbs. This is a two-piece faja, but even fully tightened, it feels loose on me especially at the top and around the pelvis. There’s only one size, so it may not fit well if you're on the smaller side. I've used it for about 4 days (switching with the hospital one), and the Velcro is already wearing out. Not great, not terrible, it does the job for now.

Feels amazing to wear! Really holds everything nicely, love that i can wear it on my waist as well to get that snatched again after having a baby! The compression is just enough. Not too much, but not too little. The black color of it appears nicely under clothes. It fits my body perfectly but if i want a friend to use it, it adjusts to a different body as well! you do feel more warm when you wear it but that is normal since it is helping the abdomen area.

Absolutely amazing. Had a total hysterectomy and the brace the hospital gave me was way to big and bulky. After reading through many reviews of so many different products, I decided to buy this and am so grateful I did. The fact that you can adjust how tight or loose you want it, having different options on if you want the lower wrap or not. Absolutely worth it to me.My only issue is that if it's hot out, this holds heat. Some people probably want that for the first couple of weeks, but it really holds it in. Wear something light.

I haven't had this product long, and am only using one option now. But I do like that you can add on, as your postpartum continues. The band is easy to put on and feels comfortable while wearing and walking. It's not as comfy if I'm sitting, which is happening most of the time as I recover. Hopeful that this product helps with post labor recovery.
