Most women gain weight after giving birth, but the fat accumulated in the lower abdomen is more than that in other parts of the body. Why? During pregnancy, the abdominal wall is opened due to the enlargement of the uterus. After the new mother gives birth to the baby, the uterus will contract to its original state, but the abdominal wall will not recover soon. Therefore, those annoying fatty tissues got into the cracks in the abdominal wall, and the fat in the lower abdomen became an extremely headache for new mothers. Some mothers buy some postpartum body shaping products in order to reduce the fat in their bellies, but they accidentally fall into three misunderstandings.
Myth 1: Choosing a tummy belt only depends on the material and elasticity.
To bid farewell to paunchy, new mothers can use some products with tightening function to restore abdominal muscles, such as abdomen straps. Abdominal girdle can reduce waist, abdomen and hip circumference, prevent hip and abdomen from sagging, and remove fat accumulation.
Choosing the wrong abdominal belt will make fat accumulate.
Nowadays, there are various types of abdomen belts in the market with different designs. When choosing a tummy belt, mothers usually only pay attention to its elasticity, material permeability and so on. Most people don't notice an important detail, that is its length. In fact, too short a tummy belt will accumulate fat between the chest and the lower abdomen, so you should choose a high waist and a long tummy belt.
Myth 2: It is more thorough to use fast "fat burning" products.
After giving birth to a baby and seeing a mass of meat on her stomach, the mother who loves beauty will of course be anxious. Some mothers want to return to work after giving birth to their babies, so they want to get rid of the meat in their stomachs in a quick way. Some netizens' mothers are even more ambitious and want to carry out the "hell-style postpartum slimming plan".
Now, some merchants have grasped the psychology of mothers and introduced some products that can "burn fat" quickly. But as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient. I think it's better for mothers to trust these so-called fast and effective products less.
Thinking about thin belly after childbirth can't be solved by wiping a bottle of fat-reducing products. The key lies in the combination of exercise, diet and proper care. As for what can reduce fat, I think a bottle of firming lotion is enough. After all, the mother is still very weak after giving birth, and some fat-reducing products with obvious effects may not be conducive to physical recovery.
Myth 3: Strengthening slimming body clothes is more effective.
Because piercing the abdomen and waist is not very effective on the body, some office workers will choose to wear postpartum slimming body clothes, and wearing normal clothes outside will not appear bloated. Postpartum slimming body clothes have a certain effect on postpartum recovery of many parts of the body such as chest, arms and abdomen.
Now there are "enhanced" postpartum slimming body clothes on the market, which are really eye-catching. However, some netizens posted on the Internet that they bought a postpartum slimming body suit called "enhanced version" in the supermarket, but they felt a little uncomfortable after wearing it. I suggest that mothers choose slimming products instead of pursuing the gimmicks promoted by merchants, and it is best to try them in specialty stores before buying them.
