My most recent purchase from them is a Belly Bandit Abdominal Compression Binder. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I was a little worried because they are $44. I did buy TWO of them because I read the reviews that as you wear them post partum to suck in your traumatized stomach... your stomach/uterus actually shrink and it only fits for a little bit before you need a smaller size. I decided to take the plunge. I bought a small and medium (after much discussion with Angela at Customer Service) because I didn't want to have to send it back and get a new one and wait... meanwhile my stomach would be not supported. I remember with my first two kids... it was very uncomfortable to sit and stand, climb up the stairs etc. I did not have a c-section but I hear it makes it a little easier with the incision.
AGAIN - I HIGHLY recommend this product and the place to get it is mom4life.com. Not only am I now (10 days post partum) moving up to the small from the medium band.... I feel like I should wear it for a year. Love Love Love this product. I'm going to give my medium to a friend who just had a c-section. So glad I got two.
According to the Mom4Life.com website - here is the info on the BellyBandit:
Not only does the Belly Bandit help reduce uncomfortable uterine swelling, it also aids in decreasing bloating caused by water retention, and gives additional support for Mommy’s weary legs and back. If you are breastfeeding, there’s a bonus… the Belly Bandit will help you with your posture during feedings, and may help to reduce the all too common back and shoulder pain associated with breastfeeding.
Ultimately, the Belly Bandit wrap will aid in getting you back to your pre-pregnancy hotness faster than ever!
Stretch marks – urgh! Although everybody knows what can cause them ie: stomach growth and the stretching of skin, we really have never thought about the post period and what may be another factor. The excess skin that is pulled and stretched after birth may continue to cause unsightly markings by “hanging around”. Greater support of this loose skin may actually decrease tension which in turn may decrease stretch marks in the post period.
