In many cultures wrapping a woman's belly is not only an asthetic goal, but it helps the body and organs help find their original place. In addition, people are finding additional uses such as back support.

If you have had a C-section, you must use the Bamboo Model.

Due to the variations in size and shape of women's bodies, we realize 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...

If you are purchasing a Belly Bandit® early on in your pregnancy, your best bet is to go up 1 to 2 band sizes from your pre-pregnancy belly size.

In the eighth month many women will be the same size as they will be post delivery. Simply measure the circumference of your abdomen starting at your 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.
