Belly Binding!

[WifeofAnt]

Who has done it? I'm thinking of doing it since my ab muscles are sooo far apart. What did you use (please link to it)? When did you start? How well did it work?

I bound my belly with the last birth and will do it again after this birth. It really did help. By 30 days after the birth my waist was back to normal, with the exception of a bit of skin that needed to go back to normal.

The only thing I am going to do differently is get the two sizes. I think if I had sized down and done it longer, that extra skin would have been normal by 6 weeks. It also really helped my posture and made me feel better about going out of the house. I think I started 4-5 days after birth and will do the same this time.

This is what I used, but I know there are more. I think one of the Kardashians is the spokesperson for one now.

I did it 4 1/2 years ago with DD and my hips went from 38in post partum back to their normal pre pregnancy size 34. I can't remember what binder I used but it was just a simple one I purchased at a drug store. It was hot and uncomfortable. I plan on binding again since I had such good results last time. bought both of mine at babies-r-us. The first is this this

and the second is more emphasis on the hips
