What is a Postpartum Girdle?
A postpartum girdle is a garment that a woman wears tightly around the torso following the birth of a baby. To maximize their benefits, postpartum girdles should fit quite snugly around the midsection. It is this tightness that helps improve posture and aid in recovery after baby is born. There are many types of postpartum girdles. Some are simple, pull-on, high-waist panties made of a tightly woven elastic material that is meant to provide light support. However, the Bellefit line of postpartum garments, are made with hypoallergenic, breathable, latex-free fabric that helps return internal organs to their pre-pregnancy position. Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles resulting from the stress of pregnancy. Wearing a Bellefit girdle provides support that can significantly reduce recovery time. A postpartum girdle can also be comforting to a postpartum woman. Following birth, many women are anxious to return to their pre-pregnancy shape. Without the benefits of compression, this process can take much longer than many women would like. With compression a woman can return to her pre-pregnancy shape much quicker. Being able to do so gives a woman a boost of confidence during a time in her life that is full of change and new experiences.
