   No complaints, worked like a charm. My wife was really comfortable wearing this belt and helped expedite her recovery.

   This helped a lot after my c-section. I started wearing it a few days after surgery and I’m so glad I bought this. For those wondering about what size to order, I waited until after my c-section, then measured my stomach so I could buy the right size. I found the sizing charts to be accurate when I did this. The belly bandit really helped to support all of the “extra” that was there post partum. I was back in my regular size jeans within a couple of weeks, which was amazing. It also helped prevent my jeans from rubbing on c-section incision. I wore it pretty low on my hips to keep it from sliding up, which they also recommend for c-section moms.

   I do agree that you may need to get more than one size… which I think just means the belly bandit is working! I just stayed with the medium that I bought, but I probably could have also purchased a small for even better results. As the medium got more roomy on me, it was harder to close it and have it lay completely flat. But if that’s because my stomach was shrinking, I’m not complaining!

   Save yourself the time, money, & energy and order yourself the size smaller than whatever the size chart calls for.

   I was very skeptical in buying this. In fact, I originally bought the couture version in medium and realized I needed a large after delivery. So, I bought the large and ended up getting it in the bamboo. There is a huge difference between the two. I was not excited about the price difference, but it really does make sense. The bamboo is MUCH more comfortable.

   Sizing: I stayed in the large for 2 weeks and then it was too big. I already had the couture in medium, so I used that. Of course I was spoiled with the bamboo, so the couture was almost torturous to wear afterwards. Now the medium is too big. I’m 5 weeks postpartum. I would love to buy a small, but this is turning into a big investment.

   So, my point is to know that it works, however be prepared to buy more than one size. It makes sense, but it’s costly.

   It does a good enough job but for the price they charge for it, it could be better. It fits around my middle but there is a crease where my waist goes in so it shows under clothing.
