I used the belly bandit thought it was great.... I think it works it supports ur back if nothing else. I wasn't overweight beforehand and it seemed to shrink my belly pretty fast. everyday u can close it tighter and tighter which alone gives u confidence boost....so ya id recommend it
Bump I actually am curious about this also. Is it the specific brand belly bandit that world better or would any compression garment will do.
Id say any would do. can't even remember what brand i got. but its the first thing I put in my hospital bag u can wear it straight away.
I was overweight before I got pregnant as well so I know what you are talking about.
I did a lot of research and the Belly Bandit worked AWESOME for me. I went on their website and looked at all the sizing.
The BFF only went up to 44"-50" which was a tad bit too small so I went with the original belly bandit that goes up to 50"-57". My neighbor, who was about the same size as me, went with the Bamboo one and she loved it as much as I loved mine!
I'm super glad I went with the belly bandit and PS...I'm now smaller than I was PP!!!
I used a off brand version and it helped me. I don't think you have to spend the money on the expensive ones. The idea is just to wear a girdle really. My midwife helped me put mine on about 2 hours after I delivered. I only took it off to shower for three weeks and my stomach went down fast. I'm pregnant again and will wear it again after this one.
