I used a Bellefit after my vaginal delivery with DS1 and C-section with DS2 and I think it was hugely helpful. For sizing, just follow their interactive tool. I got the dual closure and there's a lot of ways you can make it looser/tighter as needed. The sizing tool recommended I get 2 sizes but I only got the smaller one and just didn't close it all the way. I could close it fine by the 2nd week so I'm glad I didn't get a larger one. I wore mine over normal underwear and pads - no problem.

I used a Bellefit after LO2 and 3! I would say it was most helpful after LO2 because I had the correct size and type of girdle and with LO3 I ordered a girdle size that was way too tight, had to exchange it, and then got the next size up and it was still too small for a while. Be careful--if you order a Bellefit they run definitely at least a size down. but they are WAY worth the $$!

@JennyPenny: I agree. I bought my first bellefit in 2014 and it was a size small and fit well. I have gained some weight since having my 2nd child and this time around the chart said I should get an XL. I just couldn't believe it so I went with a medium. Which ended up being WAY too small, so I exchanged it for a large and it was still really snug. So strange.
