How do I choose a postpartum belt?

Over a decade ago, we introduced Belly Bandit® Belly Wraps to help support your belly, waist and hips post-delivery.

Our famous Belly Wraps are designed to help you look and feel your absolute best after delivery – because when you deliver, so do we! A post pregnancy belly wrap is designed to offer much-needed support through compression technology. Our Original Belly Wrap features a unique Power Compress Core™ that applies 360 degrees of targeted compression around your belly, waist, and hips to keep you feeling secure and supported tucked in and secure. After birth, your body is in a state of healing and recovery. A postpartum belly wrap like the Original Belly Wrap can aid in your recovery by promoting mobility and providing core muscle support.

Our Power Compress Core™ applies targeted compression, which may help:

  • Support your belly, waist, and hips
  • Strengthen core muscles weakened during pregnancy
  • Helps you get back to your daily activities more quickly
  • Encourage better posture, especially important during breastfeeding
  • Offer support while exercising

The ideal fit for your Belly Bandit® Belly Wrap is a snug one. The first time you wear your wrap, it may barely close. That's OK. You want to have the length of the Velcro® closure available so you can keep tightening your wrap as you recover and size down. We recommend wearing your Belly Wrap post-delivery as soon as your comfortable, for a minimum of 6-10 weeks. However, many women find wrapping to be effective long after this initial period. If you have any concerns about being "too late" for the Belly Bandit Belly Wrap, we encourage you to check out our Mother Tucker® Shapewear Collection!

Which postpartum belly wrap is best?

Deciding which postpartum belly wrap is best for you will depend on a couple factors, such as your height and body type; the degree of customization you want in the fit; and your budget, among others. Our Luxe Belly Wrap is best for moms who want it all—a discreet fit under clothing, maximum coverage, and targeted compression and support. It’s also our tallest and most breathable wrap, so it’s great for tall and long-waisted figures, warm climates, and wearing during exercise. Our Original and Viscose from Bamboo belly wraps are similar in design and height, with the latter covered in ultra-soft viscose from bamboo for extra comfort. (These two are also the most budget-friendly options!) Our B.F.F. Wrap is the shortest wrap (great for short-waisted and petite women), and offers a more customized fit compared to the Original and Viscose from Bamboo wraps.
