A wide abdominal binder for the first days after a caesarean or abdominal surgery. It sits flat across the midsection and holds it steady, so standing up, coughing and getting out of bed stop feeling like they pull at the incision.
Sizing — measure your abdomen, not your dress size
Sizing is by abdominal circumference, measured around the widest part of your midsection. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one.
- M — 25.5" to 33" (65–84 cm)
- L — 33.5" to 37.5" (85–95 cm)
- XL — 37.5" to 42" (96–107 cm)
- XXL — 42.5" to 49" (108–125 cm)
Allow about an inch either way — these are measured by hand.
Material
- 80% polyester blend
- Not seamless — one continuous panel
- Available in white and skin tone
When to wear it
After a caesarean, wait until your provider clears you — typically two to four weeks, depending on how the incision is closing. After an uncomplicated vaginal birth it can usually go on sooner. Ask if you had any complications.
What this is and is not
This is support while you recover. It steadies your midsection and makes movement more comfortable. It is not a medical device, it does not speed healing, and it will not change your shape once it comes off.
