Okay, let me just say – this waist trainer is a GAME CHANGER for postpartum recovery. I wore it religiously after my C-section, and the difference was night and day. The double Velcro binding kept it securely in place (no awkward rolling up like other brands!), while still feeling breathable against my sensitive skin.

What surprised me most was how versatile it is. I’d wear it under loose dresses for subtle shaping during errands, then crank up the compression during Netflix-and-pump sessions to feel that gentle ‘hug’ supporting my core. The fabric has just enough stretch to move with you – no uniboob effect when bending over the crib!

Pro tip: Fold down the top edge when sitting for long periods to avoid digging in. After six weeks, my posture improved dramatically, and I swear it helped with diastasis recti tension. For $30? Way better than those flimsy hospital binders.

Now at 5 months postpartum, I still reach for it during intense workouts or bloated days. Runs slightly large though – I’m usually a Medium but could’ve sized down for maximum compression earlier on.
