Celebrities are often seen promoting the benefits of belly wrapping after giving birth. However, is it an overnight fix for a postpartum belly? Belly wraps are designed to provide comfortable and flexible abdominal support and compression, to help your belly recover after birth. While there’s no evidence that a belly wrap will help you lose weight, there are other benefits of using one.

Benefits of using a belly wrap:

  • Supports lower back
  • Creates good posture especially with C-Section mommies
  • Promotes good blood circulation to assist with healing
  • Helps the stomach’s natural ability to compress back into shape
  • Promotes less water retention
  • Assists with the tightening of loose skin

Things to consider:

  • Speak to your midwife, doula, or gynecologist before purchasing a belly wrap.
  • Remember it is not a quick fix gimmick to fit back into your jeans. The benefits are greater than that.
  • Stick to the commitment of a belly wrap for up to at least six weeks.
