Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I didn't it purchase this item, my hospital gave it to me to use immediately after giving birth. They said it would help support my c-section incision, and it did. The extra perk was that it also aided in my stomach returning back to my pre-pregnancy size. Since I wasn't breastfeeding, I knew it would take some extra effort to get rid of the fat stomach. What you can expect - Discomfort, yes, for the first week it will be tight. But, if you want to return to your pre-pregnancy stomach size you'll have to endure it. And it won't be all the time discomfort, just probably when you first put it on and sometimes while sitting down. It's minimal discomfort, but just wanted you to know that you shouldn't expect it to feel like you have nothing on. During the night - I would take it off. I would also feel pains and I know that it comes from my stomach muscles contracting back to their original size. No pain, no gain. Take some aleve or some tylenol for this. It's not extremely bad, just wanted you know just in case you woke up during the middle of the night with any soreness. Your body has to contract back to it's normal size. During the day - I would eat what I wanted, but several "small" portions. This increased my metabolism. Also, drink 6-8 glasses of water per day...the water will reduce the swelling and fluid your body has while in the hospital (on I.V's). Also this will help your muscles contract, they need water to do it. I hope this review has helped someone. Just wanted you to know what to expect, don't expect it to be a walk in the park and remember: It hurts to be beautiful..no pain, no gain.. I'm on my second week from being home after the C-section and my stomach has immediately began going down. After another week (two weeks total), I expect to be down almost to my pre-pregnancy waist size. It's working wonders :) Now if I could just work on my hips...hmmm.
