PAZ WEAN Post Belly Band Postpartum Recovery Belt Girdle Belly Binder, Cotton

I began to use this product on the 8th day of post tummy tuck/ large hernia repair, panniculectomy and large rectus diastasis separation repair. It was such a relief to put this product on following the hospital provided abdominal binder. This product provided immediate relief to my skin from its soft composition. It also holds properly, with the tri closure, perfectly adjustable velcro straps. The length of this garment is superb, covering my midsection securely. I feel supported and protected without discomfort. The hospital provided garment was, stiff, scratchy and unforgiving during the first 7days. I tolerated it because I was unfamiliar with anything else. After reading the reviews for this product, I decided to give it a try and absolutely have zero regrets. As a matter of fact I would definitely purchase this item again and again. I would also recommend this item to anyone else going through the same surgery I have had. Don't hesitate to purchase this binder. Consult with your Dr, if you would like as well. This is much more affordable than others I have looked at and I am very happy.

Size 12 short inseam in both Prana pants and Levi 545 fit me so I selected this binder in a size XL. I tried it on before my surgery and it fit, it also fit AFTER my TAH surgery so it accommodates the swelling that happened. *following Dr orders about icing helps minimize the amount swelling experienced, however I feel like even if I hadn’t done this it would still fit sue to the amount of stretch in this product. Due to the strong elastic in the three wide straps there is plenty of give to adjust the width and accommodate a variety of body shapes and levels of swelling. Hospital provided me with a basic Medline binder, which was elastic all over, with coarse velcro that immediately results in a ratty used look on day 1 of use (see my included images, the first few are this product and the last two are the medline). I like the Pazwean binder better because it is softer, the velcro style isnt as aggressive on the skin if it happens to touch while you are fastening it, and it still looks new after 5weeks of nearly continuous use and launderings (I only wear mine when standing or walking, though i did fall asleep wearing it on once while laying semi reclined. It’s made of a soft breathable cotton and has quality stitching aka smooth stitching that doesn't irritate the skin. ~ Of special note the band is supposed to be worn with the tag facing OUTWARD away from the skin, that kind of threw me for a second as it’s in not in what I consider to be a normal tag location. The velcro on the binder is an interesting grade as its not coarse, I can run my fingers over it and it feels almost smooth but it definitely has grab to it and excellent hold when fastened in place offering SECURE compression that doesnt budge *assuming one has purchased the correct size for themselves. The securing capability is on par with the band provided to me by the hospital. I also felt the Pazwean binder is easier to secure around my body since its not entirely elastic (just the front part) less opportunities for the elastic to accidentally catch on the fabric while you are attempting to get it into place, at least during the first couple weeks when I was at my weakest and experiencing the most pain. It gradually gets easier as pain levels subside and become less frequent. It is helping alleviate my back pain (those are some of the muscles that have been helping me compensate during initial recovery) and made walking more tolerable (first couple weeks a walker also helped me a lot). Support at the surgery site is a MUST, it aids a lot in the recovery process. Liked this band so much I bought two, to alternate between washings. *update only one is really needed as I only ended needing it for about 2 - 2.5 months I chose this brand because of the high ratings and fair price. Happy to report the reviews are accurate! Very happy with it definitely recommend.

This is an excellent product. I was really surprised by the high quality of fabric and stitching. The product was pristine, perfectly wrapped and bright white. The velcro is a higher quality too. It doesn't loose its grip after time, and things that tend to cling to velcro like pet fur, barely attaches itself. I wouldn't be surprised if the product was made in a facility with medical stsndards. It didn't have that chemical smell that's used on fabrics to keep them preserved. The back of the wrap holds your back in place giving lots of support, while allowing the shoulders to move. The three straps allows you to customize the product to your exact shape. I use this binder at bedtime because it is softer and more comfortable than the one provided by the hospital. I believe the product specifications said it was nine inches in width but it seems closer to a twelve inches, but with that comes much more support and the ability to support my entire torso.

PRO: Comfortable and sturdy. Doesn’t irritate C-section incision. Easy to wash in machine. Helps a lot with swelling and bloating, definitely wear it when walking around the house doing your daily activities it does help take tension off the C-section area. CON: Not easily hidden under clothing A bit uncomfortable when trying to breastfeed
