The best selling eco-friendly Bamboo Belly Bandit® is inherently antibacterial; moisture wicking, and three times more durable than cotton. Which makes it perfect for post-partum tummies and especially if you've had a caesarean. Bamboo is a sustainable crop that requires no pesticides, fungicides, herbicides or additional water. Fabric made from Bamboo is one of the softest, all natural and GREENEST fibres around. Being earth-friendly never felt so good!
Due to the variations in size and shape of women's bodies, we realise it may be tricky to size yourself for a Belly Bandit®. Correct sizing is essential for comfort and product effectiveness. Buying a Belly Bandit® that is too large will not wear well under clothing and may affect end results. There is no exact science that fits all women, but don't fret, here are some tips we have found to be helpful...
In the eighth month many women will be the same size as they will be post delivery. Simply measure the part of your tummy that is the biggest all the way around your abdomen, which is usually at the belly button. Choose the corresponding band for your size.
Just prior to delivery simply subtract 3 to 5 inches from your belly measurement. Select the corresponding band for that size. If you purchase your Belly Bandit® after you give birth, simply choose the corresponding band for belly size. The Belly Bandit is designed with five inches of adjustability to stay tight as you shrink.
Questions:
How do I size myself?
Everybody’s body is very different and there is no exact science or guarantee, but we have found the following to be the best way to figure out your Belly Bandit® size. Measure the largest part of your stomach. Please choose the corresponding band for your measurement below:
* Small: 84-95cm (33-37ins)
* Medium: 96-111cm (38-43in)
* Large: 112-126cm (44-49in)
How about sizing when someone is still pregnant?
We recommend sizing in the middle of your 8th month for most accurate sizing. Measure your belly from the belly button around.
Measuring in-between or borderline on a size?
Everybody's different in size after giving birth especially when you keep in mind swelling, bloating and those fun little surprises! So we can't tell you with exact certainty what size you will be so please don’t expect us to know that information! Most customers prepare by purchasing two when this is the case because they often shrink out of the first Belly Bandit® quickly. This may be your best bet. Most people tend to contact us within the first three weeks for their second size.
INCORRECT WAY TO WEAR: Do not lay the Belly Bandit so the edge of the product hits or lays flush with the scar from the C-section. It should cover the entire incision. Please discontinue use immediately if your incision is irritated. As always please check with your doctor as to when you can start wearing your Belly Bandit® - they will be able to advise you on this based on your individual operation.
