When all the worries about carrying a baby and his birth are behind, women's anxieties do not go anywhere, but simply give way to new ones. Among the most common of them, it is worth highlighting the quick bringing the figure to its original state, or at least an attempt to do it correctly and as soon as possible. Diet, sports and outdoor walks are self-evident things that no one has canceled. But there are others, no less effective, and most importantly, simply necessary in some cases: the method of tightening by using a postpartum slimming bandage.
Previously, improvised means were good in the pursuit of beauty, but what now?
In the Soviet Union, newly-made mothers used improvised means in order to bring their figure back to normal: a sheet, a diaper, an elastic bandage. In maternity hospitals, there were legends about those who did not fit after childbirth and subsequently could not return to their original shape. And now, in times of progress andinnovations, products specially created for such purposes came: slimming pants, belts, bandages, etc. Today we will talk about postpartum slimming bandages, their models, the most comfortable and convenient for women, as well as the correct selection of this necessary accessory for yourself after childbirth.
Reasons to use modern bandages after having a baby
Back in the 20th century, many gynecologists and obstetricians were against the use of items created like corsets to restore the figure after the birth of a child. They considered such a technique inappropriate and categorically advised against women in labor to conduct such experiments on themselves and their he alth. The maximum and most popular recommendation for a young mother was only advice to spend most of the time allotted for sleep and rest lying on her stomach. So the uterus soon begins to contract, and this, in turn, leads the belly that has sagged during the pregnancy to its former state. By the way, this effect is associated with pressure on the internal reproductive female organ of the weight of the entire female body, so postpartum slimming bandages should not be dismissed from consideration, and here are the reasons:
- The necessary pressure on the uterus is fully provided.
- Supporting effect: the skin stretched during the bearing of the baby does not sag, but is fixed in the desired position.
- Aesthetic appearance: helps a woman feel her former attractiveness already at discharge from the hospital. Taking advantage of the slimmingpostpartum bandage, many women can fit into their prenatal dresses and costumes.
Should I use bandages after a caesarean section?
Caesarean section - the birth of a long-awaited baby into the world with the help of an operation that in recent years has been carried out exclusively under epidural anesthesia (the patient remains conscious and can hear his first cry and even kiss immediately after the birth of the baby), - implies an additional caring for a young mother and a slightly longer recovery process. The abdominal operation, after which there are practically no scars, has unpleasant consequences - soreness in the incision area in the first few weeks after childbirth. Here, the most important assistant, of course, is the slimming postpartum bandage. Reviews of young women who have used such a necessary accessory after cesarean section are entirely positive. Several factors contributed to this:
- Tightness and fixation of the abdominal muscles weakened after a long process of bearing a baby with a slimming postpartum bandage, underpants created using the same technology, allow you to get out of bed and move around after the operation, practically without feeling pain. By the way, there are currently quite a large number of models of slimming underpants. Each woman can easily choose the right copy for herself, especially since modern models take into account all the previous shortcomings, such as: rolling a wide elastic band from the chestdown.
- Rapid contraction of the injured uterus due to pressure (as mentioned above).
How to choose the right postpartum compression bandage?
In order to choose the right bandage and subsequently not suffer with the purchased product, you must carefully examine the box with this accessory for women. Firstly, every self-respecting manufacturer on his product paints in detail the size table of the product. Secondly, in most cases, the size of the woman's clothing corresponds to the size of the selected bandage. That is, the English size table with measurements XS, S, M, L, and so on, is also quite applicable here. But, in order to avoid mistakes, it is still worthwhile to measure three necessary parameters at home in advance, knowing which it will not be difficult to choose a bandage: girth under the chest, under the stomach and volume in centimeters along the navel line. It is worth noting that the model of a bandage in the form of a belt outperforms slimming underpants, because with a rapid change in the female waist to the smaller side, the belt can be tightened more, and such manipulation cannot be done with panties.
