Why You'll Love it
Good To know
How quickly will I see a difference after wearing the Belly Band?
You’ll likely feel an immediate sense of relief from lower back pain and, if you’ve had a C-section, from incision discomfort as well.
The band provides gentle compression that helps support your abdomen and lower back, making it easier to move around and increasing your mobility.
Within a few days, you’ll notice a reduction in swelling, and the compression helps minimize the post-baby pouch and loose skin.
After a couple of weeks of consistent wear, the belly band assists in the realignment of your organs, aids pelvic floor healing, and supports abdominal muscles to help with the prevention and healing of diastasis recti (abdominal separation).
When should I start wearing a Belly Band?
Most moms can wear a belly band immediately after delivery!
Wearing a Belly Band soon after delivery allows it to work while your body still has elevated levels of the relaxin hormone.
Can I use a Belly Band after a C-Section?
Yes, absolutely!
Abdominal support bands are part of the recovery process after major abdominal surgery, including C-sections. They provide external support to the abdominal muscles and the surgical incision. Many studies show that wraps or binders might help with pain and healing.
We recommend wearing it for only a few hours per day initially, gradually increasing the duration as the C-section heals.
Additionally, we offer Fourth Trimester Soothing Briefs that are perfect for use in conjunction with our belly band.
They can be worn day and night, and they fit comfortably underneath our postpartum belly band, enhancing your overall recovery and comfort.
How long should I wear the Belly Band?
We recommend a minimum of 4-6 hours per day. You can wear it for a more extended time, day and night! The ideal fit is snug, with constant pressure on the belly, but without any impact on breathing, circulation, or discomfort in your ribs. If discomfort occurs, remove it and consult your doctor.
Can I claim the MammaBump Postpartum Belly Band through my insurance?
Yes, the MammaBump Postpartum Belly Band is FDA and TGA approved and classified as a Class 1 Medical Device under Orthosis, spinal, lumbosacral, pendulous abdomen support.
Because of this classification, many insurance companies in the U.S, Canada, UK and Australia may cover the cost of the belly band. However, coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan.
We recommend checking with your insurance provider to see if a prescription or additional documentation is required to process the claim.
I am three months Postpartum, is it too late?
No, it's not too late!
The process of recovering from pregnancy can extend up to a year or even longer.
With the multitude of changes your body goes through during pregnancy, it often takes a similar duration for your body to return to its pre-pregnancy state.
Therefore, even if you're three months postpartum, starting to wear a Belly Band can still offer benefits. However, it's generally recommended to begin wearing it as soon as possible after giving birth to maximize its advantages.
