Product Description
The worst part about the miraculous arrival of your long-awaited newborn is the disappearance of your rock-hard abs. Okay, they were the size of the average beach ball, but your pregnant tummy was hard, was it not? Lots of cultures deal with this floppy mass of atrophied muscle and fat (hey, it's not pretty -- I'm not trying to sugar-coat things for you!) with some form of binding. The best I was able to do after having my twins was a corset, but that only worked for a week or so, because your belly will shrink. And once the corset is no longer snug, it won't do any good. The Belly Bandit is the answer! Hailed by moms and even one of my doctors (!), it's even good for after a C-section. But it helps you look and feel good, which is the One Hot Mama mission!

Best money ever spent on body scuplting! March 26, 2009

I got the Couture instead of original, because that's the only style my local maternity store carries and I want to look at the size before buying. At $50, it seemed really pricey for a piece of fabric with Velcro on it. Turns out that this is the best money I've ever spent on body sculpting! I was quite thin, so I was definitely worried that I will never fit into my skinny jeans again. This band does what it says - I started wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes and jeans again when my baby was 8 weeks. My friends were amazed at how fast I got back in shape.
Also, wearing it shortly postpartum gave my abdomen and back the support it needed. My stomach was quite saggy after birth (sorry ladies, but it takes time for the skin and muscles to tighten up). Belly binding helped keep my innings in their right places and prevented any bowel movement discomfort. I felt I have my body back faster when my abdomen is well supported.
My only complaint is that this is a little too long, heightwise. I am 5'4" and naturally have a short torso, and the band goes from the chest right under my breast to the hip. It keeps my back really straight when I sit, which makes me feel awkward, so I only wear it when I sleep or going out - basically when I spend a good deal of time stretching out. However, if I were taller I can imagine wearing it all day, as the construction is sturdy and the fabric is really comfortable.
At $50, it is a treat for me. But consider how much other useless pregnancy and baby related stuff cost, this is well worth it.
Great Product! March 1, 2009

Belly Bandit great gift April 8, 2009

After my granddaughter's baby shower, I asked her what one gift she really wanted that she did not receive. She replied a "Belly Bandit" and that it was available on Amazon. I found the listing and then asked her what size and color and ordered it. I came within 3 days and she is very happy with it. Oh, Baby Andrew was 8 lbs., 13 oz. and 20" long!!!
 A good belly band January 8, 2009

I got this band in hopes of shrinking my tummy after my third child. The sizing seems a bit difficult to me. I was a size 12 pants prior to pregnancy, gained 24 lbs and had lost all 24 in the first week. I bought a size Medium and it fits perfectly. It does work to help shrink your belly, but I had problems with it folding over and scrunching up in the middle. It does not wear well under clothes as you can see where the band over laps and velcros. I only wore it a few hours a day and was back into my prepregnancy pants 2 weeks after delivery, faster than with my other pregnancies.

I never got to wear the Bandit immediately postpartum -- but I have tried it almost 4 years later! :) It is supportive, which is especially helpful when you have no muscle tone right after birth. And if you're going to use a wrap, I'd rather have a pretty one, like the couture or bamboo bandits. A lot of people have trouble getting the right size (I'm the owner of One Hot Mama, an Amazon retailer) so here are my suggestions:
In the seventh or eighth month many many women will be the same they will be post delivery (sorry for the bad news!). Simply measure the circumference of your waist starting at your belly button. Buy the corresponding size.
If you're around 40 weeks, simply subtract 3 to 5 inches from your waist measurement and select the band for that measurement.
If you measure between band sizes, we recommend that you purchase the smaller one. The Belly Bandit is designed with five inches of adjustability to stay tight as you shrink.
Good luck, and happy birthing!
