Worth every penny in my experience. Used it for both of my pregnancies

I should've been more diligent about wearing it, but even still, it worked pretty well!

Got it and wearing it after my csection...it definitely helped keeping the belly swelling down...doesnt show under your clothes...i made sure it was velcroed to my side instead of the front of belly...

Im sure there are other brands out there...but I got the Kardashian one...heck, i figured, she looks good after one kid, maybe i will have the same luck Chat Icon

Honestly, I wore a waist cincher from Walmart (in a size smaller) after all three of my kids and it worked beautifully.. I swear the thing cost like 10 bucks!

Re: belly bandit?? worth it or is there a better cheaper version?

I got one and couldn't wear it after my c-section, my skin hurt for so long after I could barely wear a tank top. Then I just never used it

I wonder If i can use it now 3.5 months pp

Do you wear yours over your csection incision? I velcro mine at the top and leave it open at the bottom

Just a tip- a lot of moms buy them and forget to use them or choose not to and the end up on ebay. I found mine on there!
I ended up giving mine away or I would give it to a mom on here.

Kiwi- I have tried wearing it both over the c section incision and also right above it...i find it more comfy wearing it over the incision, sometimes if i wear it above, it presses against the incision which makes it uncomfortable...
