Essential postpartum and C-section abdominal support.
After 9 months of pregnancy, it takes several months to regain core strength in postpartum. In the weeks immediately after delivery, compression and support are essential in providing comfort and aiding the recovery from C-section delivery as weakened abdominal muscles begin to heal (and the hormone relaxin is still present).
Our Belly Band has two layers of velcro wraps to enable targeted compression to exactly wherever feels best. The large bands allow for lumbar and abdominal support, and smaller bands offer support for your abdomen and lower back.
