How long should I wear a belly band after giving birth?

In fact, many mothers will have a lot of questions when they wear a belly band for the first time. How long should the belly band be worn? Is it not good to wear it for a long time? In fact, this is indeed the case. Wearing a belly band should have a certain time limit and should not be worn for a long time.

Usually mothers can start tying the belly soon after giving birth. There is no exact time to say when to tie the belly, as long as it is tied until the belly is relatively flat. Wearing a belly band can suppress appetite and increase the tension of the abdominal wall, so that you can quickly restore a slim figure. However, wearing it for a long time will affect the blood circulation in the abdomen, so you need to relax it after 2-4 hours; especially don't wear it when sleeping. In addition, wearing a belly band can also prevent organ sagging.

Therefore, mothers should treat the issue of belly banding rationally and not blindly wear it for a long time to avoid causing some unnecessary diseases.

What should I pay attention to when tying a belly band after childbirth?

When mommy wants to wear a belly band after giving birth, she should pay attention to the strength and duration of the belly band!

1. Note: Materials

When using a belly band, mothers should first pay attention to the stimulation of chemical fibers. Some belly bands are made of chemical fiber materials, which are not only uncomfortable to use, but also have an unpleasant odor, which can irritate the skin and respiratory tract. So mothers should be careful when choosing them, and don’t blindly follow the trend and buy this kind of discounted belly band.

2. Note: Width and tightness

Some mothers think that the tighter the belly band is tied, the thinner my abdomen will be. Is this really the case? The most feared thing about postpartum abdominal tightening is that it is tied too tightly, especially large and bulky belly bands and gauze bandages. If you tie it too tightly, it will not only be uncomfortable, but also affect your blood circulation and compress the gastrointestinal tract and internal organs! Therefore, you must be careful when tying the belly band.

3. Note: Time

Usually, some impatient mothers will choose to wear a belly band 24 hours a day in order to enhance the effect of abdomen tightening. In fact, this approach is very wrong! Moms, please note that there is a time limit for tying a belly band. Wearing it for too long will compress your internal organs, affect blood circulation, and may put more strain on your body. Therefore, mothers only need to wear it for about 8 hours a day, and the tightness should be moderate. It is best not to use it when sleeping at night.
