I used the high waisted shaper underpants for my first c section but was interested in maybe getting a binder this time. I really will need the back support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-c-secton-belly-binder#post-2181538 Mon, 18 May 2015 09:13:10 +0000 megjay18 2181538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>from the reviews I'm reading online the belly bandit is pretty bulky and obvious under clothing. I don't mind it being a little visible, but if I can pay a little more and have it more hidden, I think I'd prefer that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-c-secton-belly-binder#post-2181526 Mon, 18 May 2015 09:07:51 +0000 Mamasig 2181526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried the belly bandit but really didn't like it. I used it for a few days, but it was bulky and hit right at my incision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-c-secton-belly-binder#post-2181518 Mon, 18 May 2015 09:04:34 +0000 Mamaof2 2181518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get one at the hospital but my mom picked up a PP band from Motherhood Maternity and I LOVED that thing!!!</p> <p>Not sure if its any different from what you already have </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-c-secton-belly-binder#post-2181515 Mon, 18 May 2015 09:03:12 +0000 charlotte 2181515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hospital one was my favorite! If it were me I might check out the ab binders at the drugstore. I saw some there that reminded me of the hospital one but had different sizes. Or the belly bandit seems similar but I haven't tried it. </p> <p>I used the hospital one and then the bellefit, but not enough to justify the cost. It was pretty painful compared to my hospital one and a pain to get off for the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-c-secton-belly-binder#post-2181505 Mon, 18 May 2015 08:54:31 +0000 MamaBehr 2181505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had three C-sections and got a binder from the hospital with the first and third. It totally helps! I bought the Belly Bandit, but never used it. By 10 days PP I was so over putting it on though. You might be able to find one used! I found one used and bought a smaller size from amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-c-secton-belly-binder#post-2181492 Mon, 18 May 2015 08:49:15 +0000 megjay18 2181492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my second baby 10 days ago, via a repeat C-section. at the hospital, they gave me a belly binder wrap-thing that has been amazing. I didn't have one after my first, but it seriously makes a huge difference in pain, movement, etc. I'm hoping to find a longer term wrap or binder, since the hospital one won't last forever and is a little shorter than I would prefer- it kind of makes me have a fat roll on top of it, haha. Any suggestions on what to buy? I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars, but I suppose I will if that's truly the best long-term one. thanks in advance!! </p>
