Both pregnancies I had a c-section, but only had this the second time around && if only I knew the first time. It made my healing process faster, stomach smaller quicker, help me walk around , supports my back so I can stand up straight and deals with the pain a lot easier. My belly would feel so heavy while sleeping and i would wrap one band around for belly support and make my sleepy a whole lot easier. It’s customizable to your own personal preferences, because there is no instructions on how to put it on. But I Tend to follow the shape of my belly and put the supportive straps where I need them the most. It’s not very flattering under clothes but I’m Trying to figure out how to make it flattering so when I do go out I’ll be able to walk.
