Has anyone used this for separated abs? If so, is 11 months post-partum too late to use a binder for that purpose?

This is not the right thing for it. This is a binder and you need an abdominal splint along with a lifestyle change to bring your abs back together. This definitely won't work.

Actually, mine is only eight inches wide. I was operated on for a punctured intestine and after that my abdominal wall was not strong enough (I am now 80 years old) to hold the stitches and I have a fairly large area that has collapsed and moved forward. The eight inch binder is just wide enough to cover the affected area. I wear the binder over my undershirt to protect the skin, and it works very well.

I am not sure about that. My wife takes this for inflammation in her back and it does help. So I can't comment on the fat binder question.

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.

Hi, Tamara. Unfortunately, the cover will definitely not fold back. It is only standard-weight vinyl over cardboard. My experience: after less than a month, the vinyl "hinge" began to split at both top and bottom, and required reinforcement with cloth tape. So, I'd say "no" to excess flexing. That said, it is an adequate product at a fair price point, especially compared to other same-size six-ring binders. Regards, Scott Roberts

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.

I agree with the other answer. Pulling it out straight works best for us. We actually figured out we didn't have to loosen it to get our daughter out, so we've just avoided the issue you're talking about by not loosening them each time. I think it is because there is more space on the sides than a traditional convertible car seat.

I apologize for not answering that better. The holes line up perfectly. The top and bottom are fine as well. Seeing the actual case had 4 small 3 ring sets, I grabbed up two 3 inch binders and loaded them full of the DVD sleeves. The 3 inch binder was fine until I added the DVDs / Covers / books to it. Once the binder was a full 3 inches thick, the sleeves arched way out and forced the binder to hang 4-5 inches off of my shelf. If you have deep shelves, and don't mind the ends of the sleeves sticking way out of the binders, it will work fine. Again, I apologize for not making that clearer the first time. -JD

I did after about 2 months, but the holes in them aren't much different so you could use them from birth if you wanted. I would have done that if I had known their wasn't much of a difference. Saved some money : )

I bought a stroller organizer for mine and it's flexible so it bends when I fold the stroller so it works well. There's baskets underneath the stroller and pouches on the back so there's plenty of storage. Here's the organizer I bought. http://m.toysrus.com/skava/static/product.html?type=TRU_product_us&url;=%2Fproduct%2Findex.jsp%3FproductId%3D18171256%26cp%3D2255957.2273443.2256189.3225200.3225205%26parentPage%3Dfamily&domain;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toysrus.com

You don't need the extra discs. Before I started I read reviews and ppl were complaining that there the abs disc was extra. I was annoyed. BUT now that I'm on month 2 I realized you don't need to do extra abs because every DVD you get works abs in through all of the core exercises. I've found p90x3 different from p90x and Insanity in that my entire core is getting much much tighter - chest, sides, stomach... And it broke up and loosened my lower back in a very natural, healthy way.So you really don't need to do a separate abs program - you'll get nice abs from the 16 DVDs.

I don't have the binder, gave it away on a project. I inserted full page documents and photos in heavyweight sheet protectors and they fit nicely, nothing hanging out. I didn't fill the binder,about 50%, had 100 sheet protectors. Sure hope this help. It's a nice binder, very expensive looking. Howard

You can and should wear the binder while working out for a while. Make sure to wear a tank under it to protect your skin.

I have about 30 to 40 CD/DVD per binder,if not more, maybe 50+. As my collection grows I will add an additional sleeve. I have been very pleased with this product. It has held up, no damage to the binders and they have not dried out or torn.

I bought one and I personally think it was better for an infant. However you can use it without the insert.

I only used formula with it. It always worked fine. After about 3 or 4 weeks it is time for a new one. But it is intended for a one time use, so 3 or 4 weeks of use is not too bad. My baby used it all the entire time she was breastfeeding.

I bought this filing cart to fit hanging 3-ring binders with 11x17 sheets of paper in them. When they hang, the paper touches the bottom rungs. If your 11x17 folders are longer than the paper, it may be a little long to fit snuggly. This cart is a good cheap alternative to hang 11x17 sheets if you don't mind the paper touching the bottom rungs. I've been looking for hanging 11x17 3-ring binders. Do you know where I could get some without breaking the bank?
