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.

we do use it on our faces. we never used palmer's before and don't know if it'll firm the bust after pregnancy.

On its own absolutely not. If you use it while working out the compression and added warmth of the belt HELPS burn the belly fat. I am using postpartum and have noticed a big difference in sagging skin, it's much more taught.

There's an adjustable vel-cro snap that keeps it secure. However after wearing it a few times it does stretch a little until you wash it. Very soft material, so it doesn't rub your skin.

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!!

I didn't get it because of any surgery....I got it because I have knee problems and I didn't want to have to bend my knees so much. I can't really answer. When I had knee surgery, I had portable with rails to help push up with...never having had tummy tuck, I can't really advise. Hope it goes well.!

You can massage the bioCorneum over the scar. The site will probably be tender so you do not want to rub it too hard..

I turned mine all around and felt every section... the only crease I feel is from the sewn sections, but nothing like you described. If you aren't in an immediate rush, return it for another one--it doesn't seem right.

I just got this a couple weeks ago and I am 19 mo post delivery . I have not been wearing everyday but I can see a slight difference already . I am long waisted and it doesn't stretch vertically so it tugs a little I the crotch area. Running around after twins makes it not that comfortable to wear shape wear in general . This is my favorite shape wear I own though.

I got it for my daughter. She had a caesarian. She started wearing the waist band after and her doctor told her it was okay for her to do so. I believe it was about a month after giving birth. She loves it. She wore it about 4 to 6 hours a day for about 2 to 3 months. She got her shape back.

Difficult to respond when I don't know where the pain was. I have found that over-using it can cause pain, but not after just a few minutes. You may be leaning into it too strongly; try leaning into it only lightly until you get a sense of the pressure that is just right for you.

Jennifer! I use after postpartum girdle and feel that it has helped me regain some form. Follow a diet too! but at least I have waist again.

I am in the same boat, no it is not uncomfortable. In fact it helps me keep my pants up! And after wearing it all day at a wedding (or all day at Disney Land with the kids) sometimes I forget that it is on when I get in the car to go home. Look awkward? I don't think so, but then I like the 'gun slinger' look =) if you wear a long coat you can't even tell you have it on. Its been the best photo strap I have ever owned. HIGHLY recommended.

I am using it for my tummy tuck scar. I had surgery back in March and it has definitely helped. It has flatten out and it has cleared in a lot of spots. I am very please and will use it until I feel comfortable. I cut it in half lengthwise as it seems to work well like that.

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

I'm a small D and its pretty comfortable. I wear it everywhere. I think it would be matter of opinions....baby uses my breast as hand rest when riding.....hope this helps.

I never wore it against my skin because the fabric irritated my skin and the Velcro poked me. I always wore it over a tank top or maternity pants that fully cover my abdomen. Therefore, I've not yet felt the need to clean it. Given the quality, I imagine if you hand wash it then you won't have any problems.
