Which Size Is Right for Me?
If you are purchasing a Belly Bandit Original early on in your pregnancy, your best bet is to go up one to two band sizes from your pre-pregnancy belly size. In the eighth month many women will be the same size as they will be post-delivery.
Simply measure the part of your tummy that is the biggest all the way around your abdomen, which is usually at the belly button, and choose the corresponding band for your size. Just prior to delivery simply subtract 3 - 5" from your belly measurement and select the corresponding band for that size. Click on the image below for a larger version of the table.
Who Can Use the Belly Belt?
Its comfortable, latex-free design with medical grade elastic and practical fitting make the Belly Bandit Original Belt suitable for any woman who is trying to get back to her pre-pregnancy shape as soon as possible. To achieve optimal results, wear the belt for at least the first six to ten weeks postpartum.
How Does the Belly Bandit Original Work?
The Original Post-Pregnancy Belly Belt is designed to work with relaxin, a natural hormone produced during pregnancy. Relaxin allows your pelvis and ligaments to soften for childbirth and stays in your body for a limited amount of time post-delivery. The Belly Belt helps to accelerate the healing process and get you back to your pre-pregnancy size sooner.
What If I've Had Twins?
If you've had twins then your body will need to have stretched and changed more extensively to accommodate them. But don't worry! The medical grade compression of the Belly Belt is just as effective on twin-pregnancy mothers as it is on single!
