Mamaway Nano Bamboo Postnatal Support Belly Band, Postpartum Pelvis C-Section

So unlike others, I did not get a discount for this wrap, nor get it for free in exchange for my review. I paid the full price on Amazon.That said, I do like this wrap. The material is very supportive, stretchy, and surprisingly breathable (but I wouldn't wear it to go work out in). It gives support to my back and helps remind me to sit up straighter when nursing. My belly seems like it's recovering quicker too, but I'm a first time mother so I have nothing to compare that too. The jiggle is noticeably less wobbly on the days when I wear the band as opposed to not wearing it.However, I COMPLETELY disagree with reviewers saying it disappears under clothes. Admittedly, my wardrobe is a bit form fitting, but even when I was wearing bulkier outfits, the extra support strap edges bulge outward so you could see that I was wearing something underneath (see photo). You could probably fix this by making the straps less tight across the body, but then what is the point of wearing the wrap? Also, as I wore the wrap throughout the day, over time, the band fabric closest to the body bunches up and wrinkles, making the band bulge out (see photo). And probably my biggest complaint, since the wrap attaches to itself with velcro, it makes noises as the velcro gives when you bend over. As such, I definitely would not feel comfortable wearing this wrap out in public.

I recently had a cesarean section and was looking for a postpartum belt to help support my incision and help with the pain. The reviews for this product were good so I bought it, even though it was very pricey which I wouldn't mind if it had helped. In my opinion, the product is not practical at all...especially having a newborn. It only stays in place when you're standing still, it rolls and bunches up when sitting or moving. If you wear it low enough for it to cover the incision site it leaves excess skin "muffin top" between the bra and the band. I'm not overweight by any means but mine has already stretched out and I've barely worn it. It's very bulky and noticeable under clothing. Definitely not worth the money to me!

I have been wearing this wrap everyday for the past 8 weeks, since 3 weeks after giving birth. It is my understanding that you can start sooner than that, too. I like this wrap because it is very sturdy in construction and is easy to adjust for size. I also like the two extra panels, as you can use them to target problem areas. I tighten one around my pelvis, and one higher near my waist. I found it uncomfortable to wear at first, but got used to over a period of about a week, and have tightened the wrap as needed each week following the birth of my child.I noticed immediately that wearing the wrap helped my posture tremendously. It was also a confidence booster because it helped me to look more like myself in my clothes. It's important to realize that the wrap does not miraculously make you lose weight. It does help with posture, and to hold in the loose abdominal skin that accompanies normal weight loss following a pregnancy. I think it fair to call this a good weight loss tool, because 1) it constricts your stomach, making you feel full faster, 2) it is a reminder that you are trying to regain your pre-pregnancy shape, and 3) it's very encouraging to look in the mirror and see a flat belly instead of the postpartum "pooch".Cons: I have read a lot of comments about not being able to wear it under clothing because it is too bulky. It is noticeable under more form fitting clothes, but that does not bother me as much as it obviously bothers other ladies. I layered mine under my maternity jeans, and I find that the panel on the jeans helped to disguise the fact that I am wearing a belly wrap. I gave the wrap 4 instead of 5 stars mainly because it does slide around a bit. You are supposed to wear it over an undershirt/camisole, but as a breastfeeding mom I find this suggestiong very impractical. That said, if I wear it against my skin, I do not find it difficult to breastfeed wearing this wrap. I read some complaints about it being too stiff to wear sitting down. I don't find that to be the case. It is certainly stiff, but that's the point of the wrap. It's supposed to help you with posture, which means sitting straighter than you might normally, especially while feeding the baby.

Great for postpartum c-section moms. Supports back and helps flatten tummy. Soft material, easy to use. Love the two additional top bands. I feel secure and supported when wearing, hate when I have to take it off! I use it interchangeably with Belle Fit band (depending on what I'm wearing). I do wish to was longer top to bottom so that it hit both bottom of the ribs and the hips at the same time. Overall GREAT!

This wrap is one of the best things I bought for myself postpartum! I began wearing it several days after giving birth and continued to wear it all day and night for 6 weeks. Within days my stomach went down and began looking more normal again. It gave tremendous support to my core as well since everything was very loose and discombobbled it seemed after giving birth. The two smaller Velcro straps on it were so great, making it tighter and fit in a more custom and snug way. I wore it out and didn't feel silly in it - under loose shirts it's hardly noticeable. I'm a small person, 5'2", with a very short torso and the only time it was a bit of a nuisance was when I sat down to nurse. Sometimes I took it off to nurse but most times I just tugged it down before I sat down do it wouldn't ride up too high on me. The wrap is very comfortable and soft and I wore it over clothes and against my skin. Neither bothered me. I told my husband over and over I was so glad I spent the money and got it! I did so much research on the different ones out there - this one is a real winner!!
