New baby newsflash: your ab muscles will probably be totally MIA and you'll still look pregnant (even though the kiddo is swaddled in your arms). Feeling like yourself again takes time, patience, and lots of support--from friends, family, and this must-have belly wrap... Moms are totally obsessed with the Shrinkx Belly Bamboo Charcoal Wrap from UpSpring. Unlike most postpartum bands on the market, this adjustable wrap is made with bamboo charcoal fiber. When it interacts with body heat, your blood flow increases, healing speeds up, and swelling reduces (how's that for an awesome trifecta?). And coupled with the wrap's compression, it feels like a nice warm hug, which every new mom needs. But don't worry, you won't be a sweaty mess - it's moisture-wicking and antibacterial. And if you're feeling sore and bloated (good times, amiright?), the wrap provides awesome support for your core and lower back, and helps your uterus get back to it's original size. Safe for both vaginal deliveries and c-sections, it's recommended to wear the wrap immediately after delivery (as much as you can!) for best results. So ditch the pressure to feel like your "old self" right after having a baby. And snag one of these wraps for much-needed support when you're finding your way to the new (superwoman!) you.

  • I don't know what I would have done without this after my c-sections. It felt like it kept everything together. It also helped a lot with the pain. Highly recommend! Feb 22, 2024

  • Really helpful to stabilize core after a C-section Oct 10, 2023

  • With my first baby this was a lifesaver! With baby number 3, this was super uncomfortable and gave me abdominal pain. 50/50 shot, I’d say order this if you’ve tried the one the hospital gives you 1st Mar 28, 2023

  • This worked great holding everything together for the car ride home Feb 15, 2023

  • This helped me so much postpartum it keep everything in place. I totally recommend this wrap. Dec 01, 2022

  • I finally got this for my third baby. I’m so glad I did! It really helped me feel put back together and like I could feel my hips going back in place. I got my jeans so much faster than the other two Sep 04, 2022

  • It was ok Jul 09, 2022

  • This was a godsend after I had my first baby I was super insecure about my giant empty belly. This was comfortable enough to wear a few hours a day and definitely did help my belly get flatter quicker Apr 09, 2022

  • Helps to tighten and shrink faster after delivery. I couldn’t believe the difference this made after having my 4th baby! Wish I’d had it for each one! Feb 19, 2022

  • I bought this not knowing if it was going to do anything. I’m so happy I did, as soon as you give birth you need to use this it, helps with pushing your stomach down and helping everything get back Jan 18, 2022

    Just didn’t really end up wearing it. Dec 18, 2021

  • loved it! this helps so so so much after baby! must t try!!! Jul 13, 2021

    I didn’t find this band to do much of anything for me. I was told by my PT husband not to use it because your abs will learn to rely on the band and that’s not what you’ll want for recovery May 27, 2021

  • This is a great tool to have to help get back that flat belly and keep everything feeling secure. I didn't find it very comfortable though. Mar 22, 2021

  • Helped tuck in my gut after giving birth. But definitely could see the outlines it if I wear a fitted top. Overall did its job, just wear it under looser fit tops Mar 13, 2021

    Wake up ladies, this won't magically make you lose all the unwanted fat. The only way to get back in shape is through exercise. Mar 02, 2021

    I really liked this for the first couple weeks after birth. Not only does it help flatten your tummy, it also holds your core together. I had terrible back pain from lack of core strength. Jan 30, 2021

  • I used this at the hospital immediately after birth and months after. This truly helped me get my shape back, I highly recommend this product! Dec 15, 2020

  • Not sure it does anything but it's only been a few months. Dec 07, 2020

  • Helps! Oct 22, 2020

  • Love love love this belly band! Have used this for 2 of my post pregnancy recoveries and I have to say. It brought down my swelling and really helped with my posture while nursing. Oct 05, 2020

  • I used it few times postpartum, but it would fold in on my fat rolls haha and it was very painful Sep 15, 2020

    • Bridgeport, West Virginia

    this does take awhile to get use to but it does the job! Sep 14, 2020

  • This belly band is fine. I wasn't blown away by it, but it serves its purpose. Starts to get uncomfortable for all-day use, but otherwise no complaints. Aug 19, 2020

  • This was so itchy to wear. Aug 18, 2020

  • i have this, have not use it yet Aug 15, 2020

    • Cherry Hill , New Jersey

    Not good if you have a short torso Mar 23, 2020

  • this wrap lasted me 4 weeks before i had to throw it away. i just had a baby so tummy is round, this wrap seems to alway curl up on the bottom eventually the wires started sticking out Mar 23, 2020

  • It rolls up and never really stayed on. Pretty pricy to not work as well as I’d hoped. Jan 31, 2020

  • I bought this after my 3rd c section. I liked how it held me in and I feel more secure while standing and walking around. I also think it did help with the swelling in my belly. Jan 02, 2020

  • This was a game changer after having a c section. A amazing product Dec 02, 2019

  • I'll be honest I hate wearing anything around my stomach and this is no exception! I did however get abdominal separation so I wear for workouts and Physical Therapy. You could grab a cheaper one too Nov 29, 2019

    This was my best friend for almost a month after having my c section. I felt like it kept everything in place and also made me look very thing right after having a baby. Great product!!! Oct 30, 2019

    It helped ease the back pain on my postpartum. However, it is not as comfortable as I would like it to be. My skin got so itchy I had to take it off often. Aug 25, 2019

  • These really do help! Also helped with a hernia during pregnancy Aug 02, 2019

    • Allison Park, Pennsylvania

    Utilized this after my first and it helped a ton. Weight lose and stability were top priority for me! Jul 16, 2019

  • Not sure if I cared for the Bamboo Postpartum belly band. It does not fit right and leaves indentations on my skin. Its also not comfortable to wear under your clothing for long periods of time. May 13, 2019

  • I had a C section, and this was very useful! It made me feel like a human again. I felt very floppy and like everything was quite situated, and this helped tremendously. Apr 03, 2019

  • Q: My son is now almost 9 months old. Is it too late to start using it now?

    asked by Lm A. - May 23, 2018

  • I would recommend using it right away after having a baby for the best results.

    Theresa G. - May 23, 2018

  • I would recommend using this right after having a baby for the best results.

    Theresa G. - May 23, 2018

  • It is recommended to use immediately after giving birth. I started using it when my twins were 5 months and notice a difference. Try it if you want. Make sure you wear it constantly.
