Postpartum & Post Surgery Abdominal Binder, Size L/XL

I've had a laproscopic (endometriosis removal) before and the hospital gave me a binder that was pretty firm and not comfortable. My second laproscopic (gallbladder removal) hospital did not give me an abdominal binder. I was not comfortable and super swollen and had to carry my belly around post op for 3 days I had enough ordered this and it was PERFECT. I'm 5,4 avg length leg with short torso and this fits under my boobs and above my hips well. I was 176/size 14 pre surgery and carry my mama skin pouch. The size L/XL (similar to what I order in clothes bc I like loose fit) is the size binder that fit me well. I have it double up over my stomach and I pull the Velcro with my dominant side (right) and pull that snug to feel supported (but not too tight that I can expand my lungs or not breath). Yes the Velcro does pull the fabric on the binder but as long as it sticks I don't care and I'm wearing this under clothing so as long as I'm supported and comfortable it doesn't matter how it looks. This by far is the most comfortable, but yet supportive binder out there. I'm able to move and sit without it rolling or pinching me. I'd say definitely go for this and it's made in the USA and natural rubber so you can trust this product. 👍🏻

I purchased this to use as an abdominal binder for an umbilical hernia which will require surgical repair in the near future. I absolutely love the way this fits, and it works well for my purpose. While it's not marketed for umbilical hernia support, I have found it works quite well for me for this use case, and that it's superior other hernia belts found online. The design is simple yet solid and well executed, so I have no complaints. The stitching is solid, and the Velcro fastener creates a secure fit that does not loosen throughout the day. The material breathes so that sweating is not an issue, and the belt height is perfect to cover most of the abdomen. I would recommend this without hesitation.

Supportive, comfortable, and helpful for recoveryThe AltroCare abdominal binder provides great support without feeling restrictive. The 3-panel design offers even compression, stays in place, and is comfortable enough to wear for hours. It really helped with stability and comfort during recovery. Well made and easy to adjust, I would definitely recommend it.

I am short waisted. After lipo/tummy tuck surgery, the hospital provided a similar binder to this item, but it had 4 sections and the width was very tight around my body. Also, It was awkward vertically and horizontally and even though closed firmly, it moved near the stitches throughout the day/night. It was leaving marks and indentations on my skin, so I ordered this 3 panel product. This 9" binder adjusts to my comfort level and holds in place. A negative is the sensitivity I feel where the seams attaching the panels have edges that lead to discomfort after a period of time. Also, where the binder closes, the ridge that forms is cumbersome. I've tried placing it on the sides, back and front areas, so rearranging the location throughout recovery helps. The material stretches easily but I'm definitely ready for a faha.

First of all, this was a godsend after delivery. I started using this 2 days after birth and used it daily for several months. It felt like it helped keep all the jiggly bits contained. The downside is that the stitching where the hook and loop tape is located came unstitched and made it unusable after some months. Also, you have to be very specific about how you line up the hook and loop tape because otherwise it ends up scratching your skin. It would be nice if the end with the hook & loop tape was just a bit tapered, maybe even 1/2" or so shorter on the edges, in order to prevent the need for such precise placement. It's hard enough to wrangle this thing into position when you're 2 days post-partum, but then having to redo it several times to make sure you've aligned the scratchy hook & loop tape is a bit much. Either way, I am glad I had this during my recovery period and should I find myself pregnant again in the future, I will likely buy another one or something comparable.

Soft and supportive. Purchased for after hysterectomy. Much nicer than the one from the hospital. Recommend getting it !!

This really helped me after the surgery I had earlier this year. My doctor let me know that I probably would need the support. However, I did, when getting in and out of bed. This brace helped while my body was healing. I know some women may not need the support, but it was needed for me. If you're looking for support, this is a great option. I am obviously not a doctor, but it provided the comfort that was needed when getting up and walking. The Velcro was very secure. It was easy to wash, too.

A must for after a hysterectomy!
