When is the best time to wear a pelvic correction belt and how to use it

Why do we say that the butt is big after giving birth? In fact, it is because the pelvis has become wider. No matter it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, the mother's pelvis will become larger after giving birth. To change the enlarged pelvis into a big butt, we must prepare a pelvic belt for ourselves before giving birth. Timely use after delivery is extremely helpful for the postpartum mother's pelvis to recover quickly, maintain her figure, and enhance her self-confidence. And it also has many benefits to our body.

1. When to use the pelvic belt

Medical research has shown that the 42 days after delivery is a period of high hormone secretion in women, and the pelvis still has good plasticity at this time. Therefore, if moderate external force is applied to the pelvis in time within 42 days after delivery (i.e. during the confinement period), it can effectively help the pelvis return to its pre-delivery state.

Therefore, mothers who gave birth naturally can start using a pelvic correction belt 2 or 3 days after delivery, and mothers who gave birth by caesarean section can start using a pelvic correction belt 5 or 6 days after delivery, as long as they have recovered well. The pelvic correction belt is used at a lower position. Its function is to apply moderate inward pressure to the pelvis to promote its recovery as soon as possible.

Because it takes 2 months for the ligaments to return to their original hardness, the postpartum pelvic correction belt should be used for at least 2 months, and can also be used up to six months after delivery depending on your own recovery situation.

1. Do not wrap or squeeze your abdomen or pelvis. This method is very wrong and has no scientific basis. Anyone with a little medical knowledge knows that this will press on the internal organs, affect blood circulation, and is extremely detrimental to your health after childbirth.

2. Unable to retract the stomach : It is wrong to retract the stomach after childbirth. It is correct to retract the abdomen and hips scientifically to restore the pelvis after childbirth. There is no need to retract the stomach at all. Obstetrician Liu Xiangyun said: "It is seriously wrong to bind and retract the stomach after childbirth. It goes against the natural physiology of the human body." You must not retract the stomach after childbirth.

3. The position must be correct : To restore the pelvis, the pelvic correction belt must be used on the hips. Only by tucking in the hips can the pelvis be tightened and corrected. If it is used on the waist, abdomen or base of the legs, it will not have any effect.

4. Fix it firmly : The pelvic belt should not be too tight or too loose. If it is too tight, it will affect blood circulation, and if it is too loose, it will not work. Especially the waist-type pelvic belt is difficult to fix, and the products with poor elasticity or too many sizes are difficult to grasp the tightness, so pay attention when using it.

5. Usage time : Generally, a professional and high-quality pelvic belt can be used for about eight hours a day. It is not good to use it for too long or too short. The waist-type pelvic belt is not easy to use at night and is easy to slip. The diamond-shaped pelvic belt is more stable and the force is evenly applied. It can generally be used at night.
