I have had a C-Section &amp; I am 7wks postpartum. Would I still get results? My incision has completely heeled, would the pull up irritate it?

If your scar is completely healed, I do not think this garment would irritate it. I think at 7 weeks if you wear this garment daily, you will see flattening of your belly and improvement in the separation of your abdominal muscles. If that is what you desire, I think you would get results. I really think this garment helped me get back to my pre pregnancy figure. Good luck with your new baby!

Depends on your shape. If the umbilical area is the widest point, it shouldn't.

Don't bother with this girdle, it's very uncomfortable to wear and will show under your clothes. The best thing after delivery is to wear a medical grade abdominal binder. Ask for one at the hospital if they don't automatically provide you with it, or buy it yourself from a medical supply store like better braces. Trust me, after wearing the binder for only a month, my stomach flattened to where I could fit in pre-pregnancy skinny jeans. Now 3 months later my figure is great, the compression from the binder helped. I don't believe this girdle could ever help produce similar results.

On any binder, always go by your post-pregnancy measurements! Some women might be fortunate enough to be back in the pre-pregnancy range immediately after delivery, but then why would you even need one of these binders if that were the case???? Most women (those really needing these type of binders) will be larger after delivery than they were before they got pregnant. Two important things to keep in mind when purchasing one of these: 1. the binder will allow a fit "up to" the measurements indicated above, and 2. the velcro strip will allow it to stretch "down" 8 additional inches!!

My experience has been that it pulls out fastest, less painful and with less effort if the outgrowth of hair is between 1/8-1/2" inches in length.... Any shorter and you risk breaking it off any longer and it increases the pain greatly... Trust me. We just moved and I went over 2 months without epilating until I located my unit in the packed boxes... My hair had grown out a two solid inches and although I am not a sissy la-la by any means the pain proved too much for me with the hair that long... In the event that happens you can change the attachment trim the hair down to the shorter length and then epilate. My system is to rip it all out and then weekly as it begins to grown back; whip out the unit and keep up on the outgrowth. Makes the process so much less painful an leaves you fresh! :)

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.

No, I used this for 2 weeks at every feeding and it could have still been used. I also had the bigger one and the smaller one is so much easier to use. I adapted it by getting some 1/4 inch elastic and trying a piece into a necklace. That was much easier to use than the lame clip that it comes with. Good luck with nursing!

My baby couldn't latch at the hospital (flat nipples) and I was pressured to give her formula. I had to send someone to get a nipple shield from the hospital. Yes, it's much better if you can nurse right away but if it you have an issue like I did you will feel good to have a solution at hand.

Seriously, please discuss with your doctor/surgeon before you use *anything* that will affect your back, before or after your surgery is completed. Good luck!

Lol! I hadn't noticed but I feel like my baby was completely safe when she was smaller. She is 14 months now and I have been using it since she was 9 months about 3 days a week. She can climb out of it now and it tips so maybe that's why? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I would compare it to putting on a pair of stretchy skinny jeans. Not that easy but definitely doable after having the baby.

Yes! I used it with pull ups the first couple of weeks and it worked like a charm! Just clip it to the inside right where the urine would come out. After we ran out of pull ups and my daughter was staying drier at night, we switched to undies. She went from soaking a pull up every night to being 100% dry and going potty in the middle of the night in a matter of a month.

Yes girl, i can see where it's working on mine.. U have to stick to it and be consistent for better results! It's super cheap so make your purchase! U won't regret! I got my boyfriend one and he started this past Monday wearing on his morning jobs and told me he can see where the belt is gonna work! Good luck!

I would suggest buying another type of maternity belt. This one is for the typical pregnant belly. I have a similar problem with already having a larger belly to begin with and this did nothing but pinch, bunch, and roll. It offered very little support that I needed. I would suggest the MaternaBelt - Stretch (Maternity Support Belt). The sling in the front is much larger and may offer more support for your growing belly. I would also wait to get this until your at least 6 months along.

I do have a house with the room. I have a pull up bar. I personally hate pull ups so I don't do them. When it's time for pull ups I just do more push ups instead. I am not an expert but I don't think it would significantly impact results as long as during that time you are still doing something. Also it's not every tape that you have to do pull ups any way. Only like maybe 2 of the DVDs have a pull up section. There's not one DVD that is ONLY pull ups. Every DVD has a variation of things your going to be doing.
