We think women’s bodies are pretty amazing. Not only are we capable of growing human life inside us, but our bodies are also capable of returning back to normal relatively quickly after giving birth.
It’s totally normal to experience some pain and tenderness in the weeks and months after giving birth, and this is when a belly band can really be a lifesaver. If you’re having issues with back pain, tenderness around the abdomen, or if you’re recovering from a cesarean, a belly band is a great investment.
In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of a belly band and the key things to look for when you decide to purchase one.
If you’ve never worn one before, you might be wondering what a belly band actually is. Essentially, it’s a flexible, belt-like compression garment that wraps around the base of your stomach.
Belly bands are designed to support your lower back and abdomen and are particularly useful during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. But the support doesn’t stop after you give birth, many women use belly bands after delivery and beyond.
They’re not just used for pregnancy either, many people find belly bands helpful when recovering from hernia or hysterectomy surgery as well.
Maternity belts, belly wraps, belly bands, whatever you want to call them - belly bands offer a range of wonderful benefits with regular use.
Belly bands have been recommended by health professionals for decades, and for good reason. They can be worn during pregnancy and after giving birth. They’re especially good for c-section mothers because they help to keep the wound stable and free of infection during recovery.
Some other benefits of belly bands include; relief from back pain associated with pregnancy, abdominal muscle support, swelling reduction, joint pain relief, as a posture aid, a hernia relief aid, hysterectomy relief aid, and more!
Belly bands offer support while also improving circulation and are an expecting mother’s best friend during pregnancy.
Before you purchase a belly band or belly wrap, it’s important to make sure you're buying a high-quality belt that delivers on its promise. Here’s what we recommend you look for before investing in a belly band.
Comfort is super important during pregnancy. That’s why it’s important to consider the fabric your belly band is made from before you buy it. Mums should always look for latex-free belly bands that feature cotton, spandex, and polyester.
Cotton is breathable, ensuring you don’t get too hot while wearing your belly band.
Any manufacturer can create a belly band, but not every belly band is endorsed by physiotherapists and other women’s health specialists.
