Many women accumulate a lot of fat due to various tonics during pregnancy. After giving birth, their bodies are still as bloated as they were during pregnancy, especially their lower abdomen, which is still obviously protruding.

When is the best time to use a postpartum belly belt?

During pregnancy, a woman's uterus will become larger and her abdominal wall will become loose. In addition, she needs to exert force during a normal birth, which will cause her belly to become larger and her abdominal muscles to become loose after childbirth, and the whole person will look the same as before childbirth.

Therefore, many women choose to use belly belts after giving birth, especially within one week after giving birth. It is best to start using it from the third day after a normal birth. However, the belly belt should not be worn all day long. It should be untied when lying in bed or sitting to rest, and tied again when getting out of bed and moving around. Because long-term use of an abdominal belt will affect blood circulation, restrict the movement of the waist muscles, abdomen and back, and prolong recovery time.

7 days after delivery, if the new mother needs to engage in more strenuous activities or return to work early, she can also use a belly belt for a short time. However, after wearing it for an hour or two, you should take it off to let your waist and abdomen relax for a while.

Precautions for using a belly belt

Generally speaking, the belly belt should be worn half an hour after meals and after urination; then it should be taken off before going to bed to relieve the abdomen. At the same time, different mothers choose different ways of delivery, and there are different things they need to pay attention to when using belly belts.

1. For women who give birth naturally

Women who choose natural childbirth should not use belly belts for a long time. If you want to shape your abdomen quickly and healthily after giving birth, you can strengthen your exercise while using the belly belt, and often do leg lifts, sit-ups, and some maternity exercises to promote the effectiveness of the belly belt.

2. For women who have undergone caesarean section

Pregnant women who have undergone caesarean section can only use belly belts after the stitches in their abdomen are removed, but they cannot be used for a long time to avoid affecting the recovery of the wound.

3. If you are too thin or have sagging internal organs, you should remove the abdominal belt immediately after the organs are lifted and repositioned.
