How long should I use the confinement belt?

Many women are unwilling to have children because it will cause significant distortion of their body shape, especially some models and dancers, who are unwilling to have children in order to maintain their perfect figure. However, there are still some people whose body shape becomes seriously out of shape after giving birth. At this time, we will use a belly belt, but how should the belly belt be used? How long should the belly belt be used during confinement?

Just after giving birth, the doctor will recommend using a tight abdominal belt (medical, not body-binding) to help the wound heal and the uterus contract. If you are using slimming pants, it is recommended to wait until the wound heals before using them.

Experts warn that long-term use of abdominal belts will lead to poor blood circulation, which can cause varicose veins in the lower limbs, hemorrhoids, lumbar muscle strain, etc. In addition, if the mother wears a too tight waistband, it will increase abdominal pressure and reduce the supporting force of the reproductive organ ligaments, thereby causing uterine prolapse, retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus, bulging of the anterior or posterior wall of the vagina, etc., and easily induce gynecological diseases such as pelvic venous congestion, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. Correct usage: The belly belt should be worn half an hour after meals and after urination, and removed before going to bed.

Let me introduce you to some precautions for tying a belly band:

1) Size: The abdominal band used is made of breathable white gauze, 950 cm long and 14 cm wide

2) Dosage: This is the mother's own homework. Because she does not wear any clothes (first tie the belly band and then put on the underwear), it is flat against the skin and easily wet with sweat. Each person needs to prepare 2 pairs of replacements.

3) Function: a. Prevent internal organs from sagging (not suitable for general abdominal binders) b. Contract the abdomen and reduce belly fat

4) Time to start binding: Natural birth - 2 days after delivery; Caesarean section - 6 days (use abdominal binding within 5 days); Miscarriage - 2 days after surgery

5) Daily removal and re-tying time: remove before meals and re-tie before eating; remove before bathing and re-tie after bathing; tie 24 hours a day for 2 weeks after delivery, re-tie if it becomes loose; after 3 weeks, tie during the day and remove at night

6) Cleaning method: Wash with cold detergent, rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use a washing machine as it is easy to wrinkle.

7) How to tie and remove the belly band:

a. Lie on your back with your knees raised and your feet flat on the bed. Try to keep your thighs above your knees at a right angle to your abdomen. Raise your hips and place two cushions under your hips.

b. Place your hands on your lower abdomen, palms facing forward, and massage your internal organs toward your heart.

c. Tie it in two sections, from the pubic bone to the navel, for a total of 12 circles. The first 7 circles are overlapped and wrapped, and it needs to be "diagonally folded" every 1.5 circles (diagonally folding means turning the front of the belly band to the back, and then continue to tie it, the diagonal folding parts are the sides of the buttocks). For the last 5 circles, move up 2 cm each time, tie it up in a spiral shape, and finally cover the navel and fix it with a safety pin and insert the belt head.

d. Each time, you need to tie the belt 12 times. If your waist is larger, you need to connect 3 belts into 2 belts.

e. If you are too thin, have prominent hip bones, and the belly band cannot fit your belly, you need to put a towel under your belly before tying the belly band.

f. When dismantling, you must dismantle and roll it back into a solid circle for later use

The correct use of belly belts is helpful for women. Doctors also recommend that women use belly belts after giving birth. But how long should the belly belt be used during confinement? How to use it? They are all very important. I hope everyone can understand how to use the belly belt and how to use it to help the body more. Don’t use it blindly!
