what parents are saying
This is a pain for any woman with a short torso, makes it very uncomfortable but if you can bare through it, I think it helps. I never wore snug things but you can tell it’s on underneath I think. (May 08, 2018)

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

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

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

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

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 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

This probably would have worked very well if I was taller. At 5’ even it just was too big for me, I needed a longer torso to make it comfortable. Nov 22, 2020

This product helped me in the first few weeks postpartum, but I do have to say it sucks for breastfeeding mamas. It is extremely uncomfortable to wear while sitting, so you have to remove it often. Mar 29, 2019

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.
