I believe wholeheartedly in Belly Bandit...I'm re-ordering the Bamboo ones for this pregnancy, because they did amazing things for me last time post partum and I want super tight and fresh ones to hopefully repeat the same outcome.
I saw the Mother Tucker leggings by them and they are compression leggings. I'm wondering if anyone has tried them? Mainly wondering if the Belly bandit can be worn with them, as they come up over the belly.
Any experience?

None at all, but I'm interested! Do you think you really need to reorder? I hadn't thought about that!

I havent tried them but I would. Compression socks were the only thing that kept my feet in my shoes and it took until a few days post partum for all the fluid in my legs to go down, compression leggings probably would have helped a lot.

@Mrs. J: I should clarify - I ended up with several Belly Bandits - long story...I sold one Bamboo one on here and I have a regular Belly Bandit that is not as comfy and a Bamboo one that I wore the crap out of, so I ordered nice, comfy, fresh Bamboo Belly Bandits in a small and an xs so I have both sizes.
@Anya: I ended up ordering them on Bed Bath and Beyond. I had a few different online 20% off coupons and I ordered my two Belly Bandits and the leggings. BBB has a great return policy so if I'm not impressed in a few weeks after I deliver, I can return them to store. They have free s/h over $50 so I'm not out anything other than trying them:) I REALLY hope the Belly Bandits do the same thing this time - they were so awesome last time!

@PrincessBaby: I've been using a bellefit which is awesome but obviously doesn't help out with the leg situation. I'll definitely keep these in mind for next time.

@Mrs. J: Yes! To me the bamboo was a lot more comfy!
@Anya: I'm with you! Attack it from all angles lol

Btw I had called Belly Bandit and they said the leggings can be worn with the Belly bandit. Just put the BB over the leggings:)

These leggings are amazing. They're kind of hard to get on but once I did, they are lovely in the whole "hold everything in nice and tight" department. I am using them with the Belly Bandit, and I'm pretty pleased with the flattening of my huge stomach in the past 36 hours since I delivered:) It's far from perfect but it has improved sooooo much since I delivered, which was only just before midnight on the 22nd. Just wanted to share in case anyone was considering.

@PrincessBaby: I never wore a belly bandit or anything, but isn't it uncomfortable so soon after birth? I just remember not wanting anything right anywhere near me for the first few weeks really. (Which may be why I looked like a slob for a while there).
