Abdominal Surgical Binder Wrap for Stomach Post Surgery Compression C section Postpartum Support Recovery after Hysterectomy Belly Band

I use this to put over a castor oil pack so my sheets don't get greasy. Very adjustable, nice and sturdy. Easy to sleep with

I love these binders! I have had mine for 2 years now, and still going strong. (Hand wash and hang dry!)I had major abdominal surgery in 2020 and needed support 24/7 for 8 weeks afterwards. Before surgery, I ordered 3 of these, because hospital binders absolutely suck. I got 1 in pink-just because- and 2 in plain ol' white, to look more "medical" to my skeptical surgeon-lol. I still wear them to this day for back support and to remind me to hold in my tummy! Still super-helpful to relieve pain and support the heaviness i feel when my body is collecting fluid in my belly because of my ongoing health issue.The things I LOVE about these binders:The size tag is on the OUTSIDE. Thank you so very much! Tags make me crazy-itchy!!The thoughtful little pockets on the insides! One in front over the pelvic area, and one in back over the lumbosacral area. They are perfectly sized for slipping those little "instant heat" warmers or 'ice' packs into. What a relief! I kinda wish there was one on the outside front, too, to hold my TENS unit, but you can't have everything...Hooray! Soft and comfy cotton next to your skin! Not itchy or or hot the way that those all-elastic binders are. The velcro doesn't curl or scratch.Doesn't feel bulky. Conforms to your shape- whatever it may be. You can easily adjust it wherever you need it. None of that either "tighter all over" or "looser all over" crap.Doesn't show under clothes- unless they are quite thin and/or tight.The price is right! So- what else do you want? These are the best things I've ever found. The dozens of other binders I have bought and hated went to Charity- hopefully some else can make use of them- because I couldn't. These are the ones for me!

This binder is more comfortable and easier to put on than the one I got at the hospital (where it took 2 people to put it on). My only issue is that it looks like it was sewn inside out. If they would get their quality control in check, it would be even better.These binds are true to size, so if you are buying this for laparoscopic hysterectomy post-op care, you may want to size up, then go down to your normal size as the swelling goes down. They wash and dry well (on low temp). I did wear mine with a bamboo corset liner, so I didn’t have to wash it every single day. I washed the liners each day, and washed and dried the binder every 3 days, and it held up really well. I only wore it almost all day for the first two weeks, then only when I went out on my daily walks, so I wouldn’t feel like my insides were falling out with each step lol.

The compression binder is adjustable. With the 3 straps, it is easy to fit it to your body shape. Firm compression in one area, no problem. Looser in another area, again no problem. The cotton fabric is very smooth, does not make you hot. I have tried the "waist bands" in the past and they made me sweat. Not this one. It stays where you put it. There are "stays" in the back of the binder, to help with support and to prevent slippage. The straps have velcro at the last 3 inches or so that will adhere to the fabric for fit. Machine wash: I washed it in a mesh/lingerie bag. Dryer or not: I did put it in the dryer for a short time, then line dry. I did buy 2 of these binders. I had to wear a binder for 6 wks 24x7. I switched them out every day. Downside: there is a really weird pocket in the center back. If you wear it according to directions, the pocket will be inside and low back. It makes no sense to me as to why it might be there. Be aware that the binder will add a small amount of extra to your mid-section. It is not really thin like the neoprene waist belts are. It is a couple layers of thick cotton, so it will add just a little to your mid-sction. but when I took it off, it was amazing how much more slender I felt. I am 69, 5'6. I got this for a double post-mastectomy, fat transfer/liposuction.

This is one of the better ones I've used but it does have some pros and cons...Pro: I love how long it is. It goes all the way down over my C-section scar and far enough up to my bra to prevent a lot of weird spillover. This is a big plus because I've tried several of these and they all leave weird bulgy places because they didn't cover my whole torso. I don't have a long torso. It is relatively comfortable. I sleep in it.Cons: The biggest con is the shape. I didn't see this in the reviews I read, so maybe it's just weird on me, but when I put it on, one side of my waist is the stretchy material and the other side is the cotton. The stretchy material sinks into my waist creating an hourglass shape, but the cotton doesn't do that, so I end up with an S shaped torso. I can't wear it under anything form fitting because of that. The stretchy material is really pretty stretchy and not as supportive as some of the others I have. The boning is too flexible to really help with the support issue. Mine was also sewn backward but I just wear it backwards - that's not a big deal to me.Overall: I don't feel like this is supportive enough to wear during the day because of the way it stretches out when I'm wearing it. I wear the UpSpring - UpSpring Shrinkx Belly Postpartum Belly Wrap (L/XL, Black): Breathable, Postnatal Belly Band - during the day for more support and I wear this one to sleep in. It is fine for that!I also have this one Trendyline Women Postpartum Girdle Corset Recovery Belly Band Wrap Belt, Medium,Beige NudeMedium ...I used this one after my last baby and it is very supportive but it is super short from top to bottom. It won't cover the whole abdominal area. I used it for a little while after my most recent was born, but the velcro wore out quickly.
