How long should I wear a belly band after childbirth?

Although a belly belt is good for the body of a postpartum woman, it will compress the abdomen and affect the blood circulation in the abdomen. Therefore, the belly belt should be used intermittently to allow the body to breathe. During the confinement period, it should only be used when getting out of bed and moving around. After the confinement period, the belly belt should be used less than 8 hours a day. Do not use it during meals, one hour after meals, when going to the toilet, or during rest time. The best way to use a belly band is to use it intermittently and for a long time. In addition, you should use a professional brand of abdominal belt to ensure the comfort of your body and the effectiveness of use. The combination of high-quality products and correct usage can produce positive and rapid results.

Notes on belly band:

Because women's abdominal muscles overstretch during pregnancy and childbirth, their waist muscles will become loose after delivery. If the loose abdominal muscles cannot be restored well, excess fat is most likely to accumulate, forming a bulging and sagging abdomen, commonly known as a "sandbag belly." Therefore, the abdomen is the part of the body that is most likely to deform after childbirth.

There are many types of belly bands, including elastic band type, underwear type, and belt type, but the basic principle is the same. They are all made of highly elastic rubber bands and compress abdominal fat in a small area to maintain the body's curves. The main function of the belt-type belly belt is to tighten the abdomen, while the underwear-type one also has the function of lifting the buttocks.

The belly band should be worn half an hour after meals and after urination, and removed before going to bed. At the same time, the use of belly bands should vary from person to person. Mothers who have given birth normally should strengthen their exercise, regularly do leg lifts, sit-ups and some maternity exercises, and should not rely on belly belts for a long time. Women who have undergone caesarean section should not use belly belts for a long time after the stitches are removed from their abdomen. If you are too thin or have sagging internal organs, you should remove the abdominal belt after the organs are lifted and restored.
