I am thinking of getting both. I am SO SCARED of my body post-baby, and feel like I'll want to pull out all of the stops.
Did you use either one? Did it help?
I've read a lot of good things about the Belly Bandit, but I'm not sure about HipShrinkx. Or if I can wear them both at the same time- lol. I'm going to be wrapped up like a mummy!

Nope and my body still went back. I got back into my pre-preg jeans by 2-3months pp with little to no effort. AND that was after gaining 50-60lbs.
I'd save your money.

My sister used something like that (not sure exactly which one) for a few weeks postpartum and she definitely said she felt a lot better wearing it. I don't think she liked the "loose" feeling and this provided her with some support. All I know is she was back to her skinny self in no time!

A friend of mine used it and said she liked wearing them because she hated the feeling that everything was just out there.
Logically, it makes sense to me. Post-plastic surgery, people wear stuff like this in order to force the little fibers to bind tighter. I think the support would feel good, though.

I did! And it didn't do anything for me, haha. Still took a good 8/9 months to finally get back into my pre-preg sizes.
I have a Belly Bandit in nude (I think it's S or M) that you can have if you want it.

I wore an abdominal binder postpartum for a few weeks. It wasn't as cute as a Belly Bandit but it did the job. Like others said, I hated the feeling of everything being all loose, and I think it helped my stomach shrink back faster. And actually the nursing tanks are typically pretty fitted, and those help too.

@T-Mom: I also loved the feeling of the nursing tanks. Specifically the Bravado for Target ones. I wore them almost every day.
The Belly Bandit was really stiff and I hated sitting down in it.

I bought both of these. I'm hoping they make a difference because my hips are definitely wider!

I've thought about buying one, but kind of worried that it will feel I'm wearing control top stockings all day -- which I really can't stand.

No, but my hip size didn't change much after giving birth. However, I think it would be nice to have that extra support - I think it might help with recovery!

I had a belly bandit and I loved it. I didnt use it for my hips, as those didnt get wider, but the support on my midsection was INCREDIBLE afterward. Plus it helped bind everything in.
