Wrapping with Alli! š« ā
ā
@alliupham š "Iāve been a Belly Bandit girl for almost 4 years nowā¦I bought my first wrap at #2weekspostpartum with my first, and they have literally HELD ME TOGETHER ever since. ā£ā
ā£ā
I get asked daily WHY I used the wrapsā¦and honestly it had everything to do with SUPPORT. Iāve read up on them so much, and they help your uterus return to itās normal size quicker, and really just align your abdomen until your organs and muscles can do their normal job again. ā£ā
ā£ā
For me it was helping to heal my DR right out the gate by bringing my muscles TOGETHER. It puts the connective tissue in a better position to heal, takes that stretch off it and puts the separated muscles in a better position aka closer together so you can (a) do your exercises more effectively and (b) keep yourself safe. ā£ā
ā£ā
So thatās obviously why I STARTED wearing themā¦now, WHY did I keep wearing upwards of ONE YEAR postpartum?ā£ā
ā£ā
MY DIASTASIS RECTIā¦ā£ā
ā£ā
If I didnāt have DR, I wouldnāt have worn them past 3 months postpartumā¦but for severe DR itās crucial.ā£ā
ā£ā
Why? ā£ā
ā£ā
BACK ISSUESā¦the band helped my core to support my back! I had a potential herniaā¦so it helped my core stay together during strenuous activity so that the hernia didnāt get worse. And praise the Lord I didnāt need a mesh hernia repair and I owe so much of it to my Belly Bandit! ā£ā

Now POST-OP itās 100% for compression, and Iām working to find the most comfortable fit to be honest with ya."ā
