How long should I wear a belly belt for a normal delivery?

A belly belt has the effect of slimming and can help mothers regain their body shape quickly. However, the longer the belly belt is used, the better. So how long should a belly belt be worn for a normal delivery? Generally speaking, a belly belt should not be worn for more than eight hours a day. If it is used for too long, side effects may occur, causing varicose veins in the lower limbs, hemorrhoids and other diseases. There are also many things to pay attention to when using a belly band. Let us take a closer look below.

Because women's abdominal muscles overstretch during pregnancy and childbirth, their waist muscles will become loose after delivery. If the loose abdominal muscles cannot be restored well, excess fat is most likely to accumulate, forming a bulging and sagging abdomen, commonly known as a "sandbag belly." Therefore, the abdomen is the part of the body that is most likely to deform after childbirth.

There are many types of belly bands, including elastic band type, underwear type, and belt type, but the basic principle is the same. They are all made of highly elastic rubber bands and compress abdominal fat in a small area to maintain the body's curves. The main function of the belt-type belly belt is to tighten the abdomen, while the underwear-type one also has the function of lifting the buttocks.

The belly band should be worn half an hour after meals and after urination, and removed before going to bed. At the same time, the use of belly bands should vary from person to person. Mothers who have given birth normally should strengthen their exercise, regularly do leg lifts, sit-ups and some maternity exercises, and should not rely on belly belts for a long time. Women who have undergone caesarean section should not use belly belts for a long time after the stitches are removed from their abdomen. If you are too thin or have sagging internal organs, you should remove the abdominal belt after the organs are lifted and restored.

Getting back in shape is one of the most urgent things many girls need to do after giving birth. Wearing a belly band can help girls get back in shape. However, girls need to do it within a fixed time and the time should not be too long, which would destroy the original effect. Wearing a belly band is one of the tools for weight loss. We can also lose weight in other aspects, but healthy weight loss is the most important.
