With normal pregnancy, mothers put on a pulling bandage the next day. Although specialist doctors against such actions, constipation may occur due to compression of the intestine. It is better to start wearing tight clothing seven to ten days after the appearance of the baby. Let the body recover and get stronger after the changes: the chair will improve, postpartum pains will pass. And after discharge from the hospital, you can think about beauty. Dress the bandage lying, in this position the abdominal muscles are completely relaxed, so it will be easier to fasten the belt hooks. Wear the product daily (8-10 hours a day), but no more than 4-5 hours in a row, arrange breaks-give the body to rest. So you have to walk for one or two months until you restore the previous parameters.

The use of a bandage after the birth of a child is not a mandatory procedure. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the structure of the figure, heredity. Some mothers have a slender waist, smooth skin even without the use of delaying clothing in a week.
