Why You Need A Belly Bandit Wrap

Belly Bandit Wrap – What Is It?

If you haven’t heard of the Belly Bandit Wrap, you MUST try it out!  Here is exactly why you need a Belly Bandit Wrap…

I heard of it with my first pregnancy and decided after some research it was worth spending the $80.00 on buying to help recover my core area after delivery.  Nothing really prepares you for what exactly your body will look like after a baby.  Your skin is like jelly, it’s loose and jiggly and it just continues to stay on the softer side after having kids.

Unfortunately for me, my belly bandit with my first pregnancy was in my hospital bag that got stolen when our car got broken into the night my water broke.  That’s an interesting story.  Feel free to read about it in my birth story. Due to the situation, I never got the chance to use the wrap during my first postpartum recovery.

Two Years Later

Flash forward two years to my second pregnancy.   I was SO excited to buy this again (at a much more frugal cost thanks to craigslist) and see how it worked in comparison to NOT having used it with my first.

(QUICK TIP: I am very frugal, so I actually found a woman on craigslist who had a bought a belly bandit wrap but couldn’t use it because she had a prolapse.  She let me buy it off of her for $50.00!  A 30.00 savings!  Use your resources around you to save money. Amazon usually carries the original belly bandit for $68.00 as another option to save some money ).

Belly Bandit Results:

I am telling you, it is NIGHT and DAY! This product is amazing.

I could notice a huge difference just in the first few days of using it (see photos above..everything is still a little loose and swollen, but you start noticing your definition coming back slowly).  My skin was tightening up so much faster and was flattening almost right away.  I could feel my core muscles after about two weeks again.  Obviously with a long way to go still, but I was happy.

For the first four days, I wore the wrap basically all day and night for maximum results.  After that, I decided that it was the most comfortable and convenient for me to wear every night all night long.  That way I was wearing it for about 6 hours at a time.

Overall, the wrap is designed to:

Supports back, leg & core muscles

Lose inches & look slimmer instantly

Adds support while breastfeeding

Provides comfort after C-Section

Helps minimize stretch marks

Accelerates healing

Applies medical-grade compression to help expedite fluids through the body

May help with muscle memory and body shaping

Helps with abdominal separation also known as diastasis recti

Progress:

Within the first two weeks, I lost about 20 lbs due to water, blood, baby, etc…When you lose that much weight that quickly your belly is very loose and jelly-like.  However, because of the belly bandit, the excess loose jelly skin was hardly an issue second time around in comparison to NOT having a belly bandit wrap with my first.  My stretch marks started fading a lot quicker than I imagined and my muscle memory recovered quickly.

Below are my 7-week postpartum results!  The quality isn’t great, I apologize, but I wanted the photos to be completely natural and unedited so you can see how well it all worked.

I do also give credit to TeamiBlends 30 day detox I did during this time as well for my success.  You can read about my 30-day detox experience here.  This was my second baby and again, I am only being 7 weeks postpartum here, so I felt pretty happy with the results.  Of course, there is still work to be done and skin that could be tightened but in time that will come.  Never rush the process! It took our bodies nine months to change, it will take it nine months to get back…if not longer.
