Begin wearing after birth on the day that you are discharged from the hospital. It's optimal to begin wearing Bellefit right after childbirth, however, it can be worn up to 6 months postpartum. Here's why: Still present after childbirth for up to 6 months are hormones secreted during pregnancy.
These hormones, Estrogen, progesterone and relaxin loosen the abdominal muscles, the pelvic structure and supporting ligaments and joints. Bellefit works together with your body's natural process of recovery. The Girdle/Corset acts to retract the body by drawing in stretched muscles and provides medical-grade compression to your abdominal area.
We have heard great testimonies from Moms that began using Bellefit up to 8-10 months postpartum and were able to benefit greatly from its use. Bellefit Corset The corset has hook-and-eye closures in the front that help protect and accommodate your incision scar when putting the girdle on. This adjustable design is also good for the Moms that are planning a natural birth but a c-section is still possible.
Bellefit comes in 4 styles, Girdle with Zipper, Corset, Dual Girdle, and Girdle Pull Up. They all offer the same benefits, but have different closure methods. To learn which style is best for your body shape, use Bellefit girdle sizing and style selection tool.
I never heard of a pregnancy girdle until I was pregnant and most of my friends who already have kids were oblivious about them. I can't believe more people aren't wearing these post-pregnancy wonders!
I did a lot of research between Bellefit's brand and a few others (including Brooke Burke's). The other girdles looked more like wraps and after reading a few reviews about how bulky and uncomfortable they were, I decided to go with Bellefit.
The measuring process was super easy and accurate and I received my item within two days. As soon as I left the hospital, that sucker was on! I had a c-section and getting it on didn't hurt a bit. The girdle's great because it has different hooks in different locations so I work it big at first, then tightened it up as the weeks went on. I wore the girdle every single day for five months (including under my wedding dress) and no one ever guessed I had it on. The material is so tight and it's designed so well that I never felt uncomfortable and the girdle stayed where it should (no riding up or down). I felt supported and having a flat stomach again was great!
They say to hand wash, but I threw mine in the wash every couple of days and it held up. I can even save it for my next pregnancy - the price is definitely worth it!
