belly bandit?
Did anyone use this after delivery? If so, did it help, and what size did you buy? I'm reading to buy it on the smaller side

Re: belly bandit?
I've used it after both pregnancies and will do the same after I have #3. I definitely feel that breastfeeding and the Belly Bandit were the two major reasons I was able to drop the weight so quickly. I was back in old jeans (not stretchy/jeggings) within two weeks. My stomach has always gone back to being flat so fingers crossed it happens a third time!

If I was a Medium before getting pregnant, do I get a medium again?

Re: belly bandit?
I used it. I'm now 6 weeks post partum. At first it didn't fit, but a few days after coming home it did and now it's too big. I also bought the bellefit corset which sucks me in a lot more. When I was done with the belly bandit I used the bellefit. I do feel like it helped but I'm by no means where I was pre-pregnancy. Still have a pooch and 25 lbs to lose.

I was the same size. I got a medium, but now the medium is too big for me. I grew out of it in a couple of weeks. A lot of people will go through more than one size. You might want to get both the small and medium. I'd start with medium though. There is also a sizing guide.

Re: belly bandit?
I tried to wear it but I had my daughter in June and it was so hot that summer that I found it totally uncomfortable and gave up. My stomach still went back to normal.

Re: belly bandit?
How does it work for C sections? Do you have to wait a while so it's not irritating your incision??

This. Same! I think it's the luck of the draw. I didn't wear it and I was back in my jeans and bikini in 2 weeks.
I really think it's all luck/genetics/body type etc

belly bandit?
For CS I put the wrap the hospital gave me under the belly bandit. It was MUCH more comfy. I think I found the BB irritating bc I'm on the petite side and have a small torso so the bandit hit my scar and was a little painful. The other band added some level of protection to the scar area.
