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!

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 suggest looking at the tummy clincher I think it's called. This is perfect if you just had a baby to shrink down your uterus down quicker. It is amazing I had twins and by day 3 you couldn't even tell I gave birth. Now it doesn't fit now and I am 4 months post it basically keeps every thing together I wouldn't say it shapes.

I wouldn't, so many of the materials are about early pregnancy it would be kind of a rip off to start it now. They also emphasize doing the exercises like every day for weeks before your due date.

I love mine. I boiled mine before using them. It is important not to skip this pre use step. You could wash and dry them many times too. Get the bigger red size and skip the purple edge ones. Our baby was out of those pretty fast. One thing I like to do is get a regular prefold and layer one of these folded inside and snappi or pin it all together. It really keeps the poo off the cover. However once the baby is mobile just packing it in a cover and snap your done is best.

I would certainly keep wearing this after loosing the baby weight. It makes for a great retainer of all things flabby. Haha.

Yes. I have another one from another company and it's wider too. Great product. Great price. My other unit cost over $300. Pull ups and push ups are the way... dude. They'll change your life. Went for my annual physical. I'm 60. My MD at my annual physical was blown away by how I looked. He thought I was a gym rat. Nothing sucks in your stomach like pull ups. Just do 20-30 of each every day morning and evening. Go figure.

That's up to you. For my clients that I train, I encourage them (as my trainer did when I first got one) to wear it all the time. Especially when you sleep and work out. The more you wear it, the more effect it will have. Consider also using a salve like Preparation H on your stomach underneath it as well.

Yes!!! I lost an inch after just one week!! Follow the schedule. Do the 5 minute abd blaster daily. I have been doing HHA for 3 years. I started as a size 12 and I am now mainting a 4/2.. If I try to switch to a different workout dvd system after about 2 weeks my stomach will start coming back, which is why I have been doing it 3 years. No other system is as effective for me. If you can afford it buy the entire system for variety. I also do Pilate's with bands and weights 2x a week (Turbo jam & Denise Austin).

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

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'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.

I also inherited my mother's flat Asian butt! Just got bbl and doing the first day today. I hope to report good results... after a very consistent 6/7 day a week of working circuit/ weights/ kettle bells for 8 months, I've seen awesome appearance and fitness results, but when I turn around, nothing to hang my towel on. Goddess's "factory settings" comment made me laugh, and also realize that I should celebrate the successes along the way, even if I don't yet have - and will Always have to work on, my bum bum!

I apologize for taking this long to answer your question. My phone been disconnected so I was not able to check my email. I gave birth a long time ago,so I'm just trying to get the tummy somewhat back in shape. The truth is I have not really try it at work as yet. They are pretty tight which if good. I want yo use them when I workout. Hoping to see some results. Have you bought yours?

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.

Hi Kathy, Squeem is the best body shaping product out there, but if you had or planning on a C-section, definitely get the Girdle Belt first. It will support you incision better! After about three weeks wearing Girdle I purchased squeem. Hope it helps. Good luck. P.S. Be careful choosing a size, visit http://www.bellefit.com/choosing-and-sizing.php to help you with sizing.
