Belly Binders?

[ringstrue]

Is anyone getting one of these for post partum? I feel like we just talked about this recently but I need specific ideas. I looked at the belly bandit but it looks like it would ride up when sitting down. 

Are there special ones for post partum support or are they just glorified tummy tamers? I'm just looking for support, not to squish myself skinny .

They were highly recommended on mmm recently. Apparently some hospitals will give you one, but not all. And some only for a CS. Can't hurt, though, and I think it can help with the ab separation issue. I plan on using one.

I posted abt this a few days ago on MMM. I asked my OB about it on Wed. and she told me they're a waste of money. I don't know if I'm going to get one or not, but it's definitely not a freebie from my OB practice or my hospital.

I didn't use one after my first pregnancy nor did anyone I know IRL except for a friend who had some documented separation issues. I didn't know they were a thing until the boards.

I asked my ob to order/Rx one for me when I delivered. It was a huge help post csection and I rally wish I knew about them when I had DS.

I had a friend who used spanx and had really good results. I ordered these:

but was not able to fit into them. I have really big thighs and couldn't get them over them. So, I ordered this:

www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000WFT3II/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

and am currently waiting for it to be delivered. I just delivered on Monday, so I will update in a couple of weeks if I feel it was worth the money!

A bit graphic:

After dd I would stand up and it felt like my guys would just slide down and hang . When I sat my skin would just sit on my legs. It got better but after a loooong time and it did a number on me. So this time I don't care if its "fake" or temporary I just need to not feel like jaba the hut PP this time!
