Pregnancy gear

It's been ten years since I was pregnant last and there are so many new and cool sounding things on the market that I was wondering if anyone has tried. Two of them specifically are these pregnancy compression leggings that supposedly energize your legs and prevent swelling? I think a company called Preggers makes them. And the other is the Belly Bandit? It's like a corset thing you wear right after giving birth that is supposed to help your waist regain its shape and shrink your uterus faster. I heard Jessica Alba wore two corsets 24 hours a day after her last baby - very extreme I know haha but I thought this Belly bandit thing sounded pretty cool. Anyone try this stuff before?

[please check with your physician as to when you can start wearing your Belly Bandit® – they will be able to advise you on this based on your individual delivery. We advise purchasing a Belly Shield (Coming Soon!) for that added “C-section protection”. You can lube up with scar lotions or stretch mark creams and lay the Belly Shield over prior to placing the Belly Bandit on your body. ] this is what I got from their website concerning the csection delivery,  I'm assuming you should would to have any stitches removed then you can start wearing it. Also, they mentioned a new product coming for the healing process of csection but who knows when they'll be available for sale. Do any of you know about using this with a csection?

I'm not sure about the csection because of the healing process.  That's a good question,  I'm tempted to look it up on their website. Belly bandit . Com

Does it work if you have a T c-section ?

I never heard of the hip shrinks! But if you want a kardashian outcome you might want to leave the hips haha I'm hoping the belly bandit pulls my abs back together too. After my son I have always been able to feel a gap between the two sides of my abs where they never reconnected. You can't see it but if I push my fingers in deep I can feel it and my waist used to to go in more like an hourglass. So this time I'm hoping I can correct that.

Thanks soo much for this post! I had completely forgotten about the belly bandit, unfortunately I hadn't heard of them my first two pregnancies. I don't believe they'll give me a body like a Kourtney Kardashian but I do feel it will help bring my tummy muscles back in place. I also read about the hip shrinks, tempted to try this as well. ;)

Pinktacular, what was the brand? Was it a belly bandit? That's great news. I definitely want to try it! Was it really uncomfortable?

I got a corset after my 3rd baby.  It was awesome!!!! I wrote it for a while 24 hours a day and it helped with my back pain and I had no post baby pooch. Like immediately worked.  Super fantastic. I will be getting a new one this time for baby 4. Also support hose are a must

I don't know about that corset thing. But the compression stockings are a great idea for anyone. I work as a nurse and many nurses wear them because we are on out feet all day. They help with circulation and help prevent swelling. There are many places that sell them, so you don't have to get the pregnancy ones, make sure you get the right size though. They are meant to be snug, not loose.
