Is wearing a postpartum body shaping garment effective?

Most women will become obese after childbirth, especially in the abdomen. On the one hand, it is because the baby expands the abdomen when they are pregnant. Although the baby is born after childbirth, it is not so easy for the abdomen to recover on its own. On the other hand, because the mother has rich nutritional supplements but rarely exercises, the problem of obesity has become a common worry for many postpartum women. It is not realistic to shape the body through exercise after childbirth, so many mothers will think of wearing postpartum body shaping clothes, but they are worried that the postpartum body shaping clothes will not work. So, is wearing postpartum body shaping clothes effective?

Wearing a body-shaping garment after childbirth has a certain body-shaping effect. Wearing a body-shaping garment to sculpt the body after giving birth is also one of the body-shaping methods favored by many mothers. However, because the advertisements for shapewear are somewhat exaggerated, many mothers are skeptical about the effectiveness of shapewear. Shapewear has the function of body shaping, and the most obvious effect is that your figure will look much better immediately after you put it on. Moreover, wearing a body shaper will naturally make you straighten your back unconsciously and develop good sitting and standing habits. However, body shaping garments are generally very tight, so it is recommended to wear body shaping garments six months after delivery.

If a body shaper is worn for a long time, it will cause poor blood circulation in the abdominal cavity and easily lead to gynecological inflammation. Moreover, most body shapers are chemical fiber products, especially one-piece ones. Long-term use will make the vulva moist, affecting normal blood circulation and sweat excretion, and easily cause bacteria to multiply, leading to vaginitis. If you want to wear it, you must choose a body-shaping garment with good breathability, and change and wash it frequently to keep it dry.

Mothers should pay attention to choosing suitable underwear, avoid wearing body-shaping underwear for a long time, and pay attention to frequently moving their upper limbs and moving the slings around their shoulders. If you wear a body-shaping garment that is too tight, it may cause cervical spondylosis and pose a great threat to your health. Therefore, new mothers should be careful when wearing body-shaping garments. It is healthier to achieve the effect of body shaping through diet and exercise.
