Has anyone wore this for pregnancy after a previous c-section? Did it press uncomfortably on the scar area? Thanks.

Yes, I am currently 6 months pregnant with my 2nd child and using the belt. I had a c-section with my 1st baby and the incision was done on the bikini line. I am not having any discomfort or tenderness on the scar area, and the belt line does press on that area. If you don't have any current tenderness or sensitivity in that area, you should be fine.

Sometimes I did sometimes I didn't. The main part is the gel pads. My scar was on my stomache so I could leave it on all the time. I think the liquid is good if you have the scar on an obvious place like your face or an open area that you don't want to constantly wear the gel pads. If you constantly use the pads the rests are amazing.

It's true to size. It doesn't really stretch much but my belly is bigger due to a large tumor removed a c-section cut..

I had a breast and arm reduction and this is the product that was recommended by my Plastic Surgeon. I have been wearing them since my incisions healed (about 6-8 weeks now). The only thing I can tell at this point is that they seem to keep the scars soft. I am having some scaring issues so frankly, I am afraid to not use them! What I wouldn't count on is them lasting 12 weeks. Fabric fuzz sticks to them very easily and then they don't want to adhere. They tell you to rinse them but it is almost impossible to get it all off without removing the silicone. However, you may not have as much trouble in the abdomen area as I do on my arms because you aren't moving that area as much. Good Luck!

I have had the scar for more than ten years, and have used this sheet for the last two-three months as recommended by my dermatologist. The sheet seems to be effective and the scar appears to be flattening, but not receeding in size. I plan to continue wearing it, 24\7, for at least a few more months.

Is the sizing what you were before pregnancy? I don't know which to order. I measured 33 inches around my waist (going right over my belly button, not under my ribs) before pregnancy. I'm 6 months and already 40inches around belly button. Should I get small or medium? I'd appreciate anyone's help deciding! Thanks!!

Both of my children were born by c-section with on contractions. I use the larger size and have no problems.

I tried. It was so uncomfortable and cutting my skin that I couldn't wear it more than 40 mins. I even tried to put a tshirt and swearshirt on under it. I think my issue is that the medium was too big for me so I had to tighten to the Max and it kept cutting me under the arms. I wasn't willing to put an extra padding like others suggested. Some ppl put a hand towel under it. I felt like that was too much accommodation for this back brace. Hope this helps! I will say the refund process was smooth so u may want to just give it a try?

My belly button is about in the middle of the belt. But adjust it until the back is nearly pain free. This belt totally changed my life for the better. Recently my doctor told me it's a good back support. Best to you.

Yes I have a key loud scar and they have flattened and lightened my scar. It also helps the itching and burning.

I didn't wear it right after birth, but I would imagine it would be difficult. I felt the crotch snaps were very uncomfortable just over underwear. I can only imagine they would be extra bulky and awkward over those giant pads! Good luck.

It does stick but comes off too easy so a couple of times it disappeared. I started using tegaderm to keep it on and that works great. Then you just peel it off, wash it and then use again with a new tegaderm. It works great especially for flattening the scar and the redness.

It does! I am very insecure when it comes to being in the gym. When I put this on, it surely helps keeps the stomach in position. After my pregnancy I got a lot of excess skin and most of my workout is running the treadmill and doing T25 or Piyo. I only work out under an hour since I workout during my lunch hour. I did not notice any sweat going onto my shirt within that hour. This waist trimmer is definitely one of the best I have bought. It has a good grip around your stomach without loosening up or having to readjust. Hope my feedback is of help.

I'm the same way. Definitely worth the buy. It's very stretchy too. I got the XXL and it helps with back pain, and weight of my belly (now 6 months).

The necklace itself is made of stretchy material so there's never a tight pull on your baby. The safest way we did it was to have him wear it on his neck in the day and then at night we'd put it around his ankle. It's a toss up on the effectiveness really... I did notice that during the times he wore it he didn't drool or cry out in pain as much as he had previously.

Hey Anne. I bought it exactly to use against baby´s skin. I think the problem is using synthetic fabrics. (sorry my english. I'm brazilian and I prefer to buy tohose products there because of the high quality).
