The 100% cotton covered elastic belt can be worn immediately after vaginal birth or 2-3 weeks after a c section. Wearing the abdominal binder helps your tummy shrink and protects your incision as you recover from a c section. This is our core belt, with a 6 inch Velcro® closure attachment pad. The belt is available in 5 sizes and ranges from 6"-10" wide, so your size and support needs can easily be met. Great for wearing under clothing for the discreet support needed as you get back to enjoying life with baby.
