Celebrities are often seen promoting the benefits of belly wrapping after giving birth. However, is it an overnight fix for a postpartum belly? Belly wraps are designed to provide comfortable and flexible abdominal support and compression, to help your belly recover after birth. While there’s no evidence that a belly wrap will help you lose weight, there are other benefits of using one.
Benefits of using a belly wrap:
- Supports lower back
- Creates good posture especially with C-Section mommies
- Promotes good blood circulation to assist with healing
- Helps the stomach’s natural ability to compress back into shape
- Promotes less water retention
- Assists with the tightening of loose skin
Things to consider:
- Speak to your midwife, doula, or gynecologist before purchasing a belly wrap.
- Remember it is not a quick fix gimmick to fit back into your jeans. The benefits are greater than that.
- Stick to the commitment of a belly wrap for up to at least six weeks.
