I am 6 weeks post partum. Is it too late to start wearing this binder to help get rid of this flappy belly and love handles?

In my opinion this binder helps compress your uterus to go back to normal size as well as helps you hold your posture right. When you say flappy belly i assume you mean the "empty feeling" And then there is just flesh jiggling around that. I think that after having your abdomen crammed with a baby for 9+ months you just need a little time for all your insides to settle back into place. I don't think this binder helps after the 6week healing period. I wouldn't buy it.But if I'm wrong on my aassumptions of the flappy belly,please elaborate.

Might be a little late as you should have started almost immediately after birth. I ended up with Csection so I couldn't use it. You can however use under clothes as a girdle-like. Hope this helps. And congratulations!

No, wait like the last comment said and do research on why you have to wait the 4 to 6 weeks. You aren't giving your skin the chance to heal and build the collagen to improve, you may in turn be damaging your skin. Research first

I'm afraid you cannot 'spot burn' any fat. It will hold belly fat still while you do cardio or strength trainer to burn calories to reduce fat all over though! And it will make you mid section sweat like a sinner in church.

HI Brenda! Thank you so much for your interest in Bellefit! The girdles are designed for easy access to the groin area with a convenient flap that consists of two rows of hook and eye closures that should comfortably allow you to use the bathroom, check on your C-Section incision or change your padding during those first stages of your postpartum recovery. It is a great feature because it allows you to easy access without removing the girdle. You should wear your panties and pads as you normally would. As long as you are in the correct size and style for your particular body shape and delivery method, the crotch-area closure should not cause you any discomfort or pain. We would love the opportunity to go over your measurements to recommend the best size and style for your unique recovery. Please give us a call at 888.894.2951 or email us at customerservice@bellefit.com and one of our sizing specialist will be happy to consult with you. We look forward to hearing from you!

You can and should wear the binder while working out for a while. Make sure to wear a tank under it to protect your skin.

I'm almost the same. My daughter was 10 lbs when she was born. I'm 5'6" and right now I'm 160 ish lbs. My daughter will be 2 this summer. My abdomen muscles were not growing back together at all (diastis recti) but I didn't notice until she was 9 months or so. The splint has encouraged a lot of growth surprisingly. You have to adjust it for it be comfortable. If you wear it consistently you'll probably see results fast. I don't wear it every single day but I can still tell the difference in my abdomen. It can get a little bulky underneath your clothes though. It compresses your waist and even lovehandles but kinds pushes up fat making a little roll at the top of my back. It's a good price for what you get so I suggest you try it Hope this helps.

It was super uncomfortable right after birth so I didn't use it much right away anyway. I've heard people have the best results when they use something right away. I thought thus worked well regardless if when you start.

I agree that after 20 lbs. the baby feels heavier in the sleepy wrap. that is about when we stopped using it with my daughter. I'd recommend a soft structured carrier like the Boba (also made by NAP inc., the makers of sleepy wrap) or Ergo if you want something simpler, though less versatile, and a woven or hybrid wrap if you like a challenge. :) I do feel like the soft structured carriers put the weight onto your hips well, with a padded hip belt, which i love. I got my boba today, and the first time I tried it, I felt it was a bit more comfortable than the ergo. good luck!

Hi. I did not use the string that goes on the top of my belly. On the back part there is a second string attached to the front part, so stick them together as you want and do not separate them when you put it on. Use it as a belt - wide part on your lower back, small part on the bottom of your belly. But I would recommend it to wear it only when you are standing or walking - when you sit - it may push your belly and make you uncomfortable.

I would think it would be quite helpful. Yes. Need to adjust buckle for tightness where you want. Depends on thickness of clothes. If sitting belly sticks out more than standing.

You should wear this as soon as u have your baby..uncomfortable a bit but worth it.

Same boat. Started taking about two weeks ago and am about 1.5-2 lbs but I am working out as often as I can. I have a toddler. So. Anyway sort of more importantly I wanted to tell you that while the lbs haven't quite evaporated in one or two weeks over here, I have noticed a BIG difference in the jiggles. That has made lots of progress! Especially from love handles down to thighs (my little square seems to be actually turning back into an hourglass). I started out at 125 lbs and I am 5'4". Hope this helps.

to breastfeed in an ergo (i am 32 DD) i usually loosen both straps . i loosen the side i'm going to feed on a little more than the other , sometimes i have to use one hand to hold my breast . But it is definitely doable! You might want to check youtube for some BF in carrier videos!

Sorry it took me forever to answer. I started the training around 28 weeks and it was perfect. The only added benefit to starting earlier is that it helps you sleep at night. You should be fine waiting a few weeks and ordering it with your gift cards! Good luck! In my opinion Hypnobabies is the best choice you'll make for your pregnancy!

I definitely have noticed some firming up. It is not going to work miracles, but for me, any improvement was welcome. I just wish I had this in my 30's. I think it would have made a lot of difference in the sagginess now. Hope this helps.

Congrats on the Weight loss! ...but nope. It did not work for me. I've had my post-baby stretch marks (& little extra belly fat, which doesn't go away by exercise either-tried that too) for 24 years. The funny thing is-you know while using some products you can see a little difference? Well, I saw nothing, nada, zilch...my stomach looks the exact same as the day I started.

Yes absolutely!! It will specifically target the stubborn belly fat area...keep it on while you workout or do house chores! You'll notice the amount of sweat quick around your stomach area. Most people forget half the struggle is your diet....Great product for a great price! You can't go wrong with it....Also remember consistency is key!
