Compression Belts

Hello Ladies,

 

I am an older FTM.  I would like to buy a compression belt to use after my c-section. 

Do you have any recommendations on 1) specific belts and also 2) where the best place is to buy?

How long did you wear your belt after your c-section?

 

Thanks!

I was given one in the hospital after my c-section. Loved it! Used it for 2 weeks.

I was given one, but Im not sure how to use it. Where on your waist/stomach do you place it and how tight?

The minute after I got stiched up from my c-section, the nurses put on the hospital compression band.  That took me 1/2 - 2 weeks until i needed a smaller one.  I ordered a small and an ex-small Belly Bandit for my shrinking belly before the birth of my son 2 yrs ago.  Wow - amazing.  Stomach was 100% back to normal 5 weeks post surgery.  I am using the same technique this go around (had a baby on Nov 12th) and my stomach is totally flat.  You are suposed to wear them 6 weeks post baby.  They can get uncomfortable and are bulky, but I will deal with that to get my old stomach back.  Belly Bandit - think they are about $75 a band??????  Good luck!!

Hi

Can you tell me HOW to wear it? I have one- but where on stomach does it go? Should it cover the scar?
