I've had 3 C-sections, and I fully believe this product made my recovery from the third one, the easiest! I originally bought this because we had a formal occasion planned 2 weeks postpartum, so I knew I would need assistance "holding myself in". I brought it to the hospital since I had read it could help with the soreness of feeling like your insides are "hanging". I wore it the first day postpartum, and as long as it was on, I honestly felt VERY little pain. As soon as I would take it off for any reason, I felt that feeling I did with the other c-sections of the soreness from your insides being rattled and jostled from something as simple as walking. My OB came in to check my stomach, saw the band, and congratulated me on a great idea, bringing it to the hospital, and told me it would aid in healing as well as make less likely the separation of the skin and the layer just under it from the incision.

SO, I not only loved it for postpartum cosmetic value, but also pain control and comfort value in the immediate postpartum. I did not have any bunching issues like another reviewer did.

You spend months with the pregnant belly, you really look forward to being unpregnant again, only to realize you'll have a few more months or more with that saggy belly.. so this would really appeal to any mom or mom-to-be. When I bought mine at first I liked it. Wore it under a dress and it helped smooth out my belly, then wore it under a shirt and went out. After a few hours with it on moving around, sitting down, walking, etc. it would bunch up in areas and become uncomfortable. I would have kept it if it was $10 or less, but at $22 I returned it and bought some more dipes! It's worth a shot, but hang on to that receipt incase it's uncomfortable for you too.

I found that the Post Partum Support belt was helpful in minimizing my pain after my c-section. I could walk a lot easier and with very minimal pain when I wore the support belt. I didn't wear it long but I thought it was worth the cost even if I did only wear it a couple weeks. I found it comfortable. It did not itch or hurt like I thought it might. I would recommend this product especially after a c-section. It did not affect my incision either which I was concerned about. It worked great for me but again I did not use it very long.

I bought this a little late post-pardum, however, I'm trying to make it work. It's definitely more comfortable than some of the girdles you'd find at popular lingerie stores, but the velcro wrap is a bit of a nuisance. After wrapping it around your belly,it does work in smoothing your stomach out and making it appear flatter, however under clothing, you normally see the velcro overlay sticking out - it does not lay down flat. Size won't make a difference, it's just the way it's designed. But besides that it seems to keep your tummy flatter looking even after you take it off - which in essence is the whole point.
