How beneficial/useful is this post c-section?

Question

My hospital doesn't provide any kind of belly bands and my c-section is after tomorrow. I'm just wondering if it's worth ordering this and having it ready to go, or if it's just a gimmick I don't really need.
I'm not looking for weight loss but will it help with recovery and help me feel like myself sooner? Any other benefits I don't know about?
Don't know if this helps but: I'm almost 25, first baby and first any abdominal surgery, did light at-home workouts and walks throughout my pregnancy (on & off), and was pretty flat pre baby bump.

Answer

I would definitely recommend a girdle for c section recovery. Not only do they support but girdles help with getting your tummy and uterus to shrink when used immediately post section. My first c section the hospital just provided me one but the second baby I had to beg for one but they gave it to me. The nurses actually snuck one for me lol. I like to use the Velcro ones a couple days post c section and then I switched to a sleeker less bulky one. I would look up Bellefit girdles also Upspring c panty

Answer

I had a c section and I wouldn’t have been able to cope with this. I wore huge grandma knickers until my scar was completely healed because I couldn’t have anything tight in the area. I also didn’t bother with jeans for ages as found they irritated, particularly when in the car. 
But I’ve never been a flat stomach girl! 
If it’s not going to break the bank order it and regard it as one of those if used great if not no issue

Answer

I had one after my c section and loved it. It held my bandages in place and I felt like it helped keep my belly pouch tucked in tight while I was healing. My hospital gave me mine.

Answer

I had a c section and a hard recovery because I got an infection. If I didn’t I would have loved something like this.

Answer

My doctor told me not to wear one so I didn’t and had no problems. 😊

Answer

I’m having a c section and what I hear people love the binders because it gives them support and helps with the recovery and movement. I heard it also help shrink your uterus. I’m definitely getting one

Answer

My hospital provided one of these and I liked it so much I ordered another one to have a spare.  It made me feel like my guts weren’t going to fall out during recovery.

Answer

I’m definitely not an expert but have heard that the only time belly bands are medically recommended is in c-section recovery. Some hospitals even provide them.

Answer

I had an emergency c section 3 months ago. Had pretty a flat stomach before. Wore a belly bandit on and off for a few weeks after. It helped as the wound was healing because it prevented the skin around there from moving around. My stomach has gone in a lot but I don't think that is because of the belly bandit. Maybe it helped a bit who knows.

Answer

I’ve heard of hospitals providing them so I’d double check before ordering! I have no experience tho.
