Girdles and Bands
Girdles and Bands
150 postsposted 1st Jul
I was told to wear a girdle and a band over the girdle to get my stomach down. Anyone tried this after having their baby? A couple of my friends did it and said it works. They also said to wear spandex or something like a full body girdle to hold everything tight.

I found a band online that I plan on getting. It's on Avon.com under Curves. They have 2 bands listed. I think I'll get both. They're only like 12 dollars so that's a pretty good deal.

Yes, my mom told me you need to bind yourself. Like wearing a corsette(spelling) The tighter you make it, the more it will help you get firmer.

I heard its not good too soon after having a baby. You should give ur tummy time to naturaly shrink. Give it a couple of weeks. Also I had a friend that wore the belt too soon and her PP bleeding bled so much she had to go to the ER.

Really? That's crazy!! My friend said she wore it the day she gave birth. Well I guess it's different for everyone. I still plan on doing it.

My friend gave my a PP belt, and it worked good for the first 2 weeks while your stomach is still going down...but after that you may not even need it. My stomach isn't that bad so the belt doesn't do much at this point. But in the first few weeks it will definitely make you feel better... You'll be surprised how much your stomach will go down on it's own..

I wore a girdle for a while but my tummy shrank pretty fast on its own. It was pretty flat by the time I got home from the hospital but my mom told me to get a girdle and it would help. It isn't too tight or anything I just think it helps you think about sucking in and using those ab muscles more.....I just bought one at Walmart and it was like $8 maybe if that. Good luck!

I plan to wrap mine (as soon as I can get someome out to the store for me) as soon as possible. Not to make the tummy go down so much as for comfort. I have a fat tummy and it will probably remain that way. But I hate the feeling that it is all hanging out.

So your mom wore a girdle when she was pregnant as well? I'm glad we have people in our lives to tell us this cause the doctors sometimes see me so fast at appointments that I barely have time to ask questions.

I've heard of doing that. My mom made me do it as soon as I got home. She just made me wear this back support thing we had at home that wrapped around my tummy. I also wore these spandex shorts that covered my belly. My stomach is almost back to normal but I think it won't shrink anymore since its probably just the fat I gained from eating too much while pregnant. It did help though I noticed a faster difference when I did wear it. now Ijust can't wait to heal so I can work out again and get my old body back!

No she didn't wear one when she was pregnant, just after........I think it can be harmful to wear if you are pregnant!
