Most of the society of women is very much concerned about such a question as losing weight after childbirth. Indeed, who can like saggy skin on the abdomen, stretch marks. The only answer is nobody. But since it is too early to think about physical activity, about diet too, for such cases you will need a bandage. What is considered to be the opinions of doctors on this matter, they disagreed. Some believe that wearing a bandage helps to restore the previous figure, others that it is dangerous, and the third contingent generally considers it pointless. In this we will now try to figure it out.
The bandage is recommended for women who have had a cesarean section. This is justified by the fact that a newly-made mom needs to constantly get up to the child, feed, bathe, swaddle, but when there are still unhealed wounds, it is extremely difficult and dangerous to do this. In this case, the bandage will come in handy. It is also indicated for women who have back and lower back diseases.
Along with the aforementioned indications, there are also contraindications. One of the main ones is the seams on the crotch. In this case, the bandage impairs blood circulation, which can cause this or that inflammation. If you do decide to wear a bandage, remember that at the slightest sign of inflammation, you need to abandon this venture and consult a doctor. Important contraindications are swelling and various allergic reactions to the tissue of the bandage.
If you finally and irrevocably decided to wear a bandage, then you need to find out that there are different models of this elastic belt. They are united by a common function, but differ only in form.
There are models such as panties, ribbons, skirt, bermuda shorts. In more detail about the types of bandages:
- Bandage-pants – they have a high top made of dense fabric. They are similar to prenatal bandages.
- Bermuda bandage – cover the hips, the length touches the knees. Useful for women who have problem belly, hips and buttocks.
- Bandage skirt – covers the upper thighs and waist.
- Universal bandages – used both before and after childbirth. They differ in the way they are worn: before childbirth – with a narrow part in front, after childbirth – on the contrary.
The most common is tape, which is suitable and easy to use. The size of the bandages is the same as the size of your underwear, only if you have gained weight, you need to take a little more. The “panties” bandage must be worn while lying down, the “belt” can be worn while standing. A model such as grace corrects the hips, waist, buttocks. Ask your doctor How long you need to wear, because this is an individual question. The bandage should fit well to the body, while allowing air to pass through and absorb moisture. Look for materials like cotton and microfiber. The skin must breathe not only in summer but also in winter. In most cases, the bandage is allowed to be worn on the second day after childbirth and worn for up to two months.
Also, some of our tips will be useful:
