Thoughts on the belly bandit?

Question

Having my first scheduled c section in June and need some belly binder advice. Do they give you one at the hospital?
Anyone here have/had a belly bandit? How did you like it? TIA!

Answer

Definitely use a binder. I had a csection 12/24 unexpectedly so I used the hospital issued one initially which I really liked. I bought the belly bandit in a medium (size small pre pregnancy) and it was a week or two postpartum before I fit it. I did like it, however it’s very long and firm and I even have a long torso. It’s not as comfortable for sitting or being mobile but it does offer great support. I’m 7 weeks pp now and I just bought a sleeve binder off Amazon to wear under form fitting clothes and it’s pretty comfortable.
