Breastfeeding cramps

I've had some cramping while breastfeeding lately and I've heard compression garments assist with this while shrinking the uterus size gradually. I'm going to try Wink because it's gotten some good reviews and feedback. Has anyone else had experiences with their products? This is my first time with compression.

I just took the painkillers the hospital gave me to help with this and the general after baby aches and pains. I only had the cramps for a week or so, so I wouldn't really bother buying something for it.

Ditto the PP, I only had them for a short while and I didn't think they were unbearable.  I wouldn't get anything for them either, your uterus will shrink without any external help.

Its totes normal to have the cramping - its actually a good sign that you are going back to your 'normal' 'non-pregnant' body. Compression pumping doesn't affect your cramping, but it will def help get more milk out and get it out fast. I squeeze in lots of different ways! It looks funny to DH bc its like I am groping myself :-p

I used Wink and then Bellefit.I honestly preferred Wink. It really went beyond my expectations and helped with the cramping and shrinking my uterus size. I was back in my regular clothing in no time. The belly blaster is my ultimate favorite because it was so easy to use and adjust.
