How to use the postpartum abdomen belt?
1) size: the abdominal belt used is breathable white yarn, and the size and specification can be determined according to your own situation.
2) Dosage: It's for my mother to do her own homework, because she doesn't wear underwear (first tie her abdomen belt and then wear underwear), so she is prone to sweating, so everyone needs to prepare 2 pairs instead.
3) Function: prevent viscera from sagging (generally not suitable for abdominal girdling), shrink abdomen and relieve stomach.
4) Time to start binding: natural delivery-the second day after delivery. Caesarean section-Day 6 (abdominal band within 5 days). Abortion-the day after the operation
5) Unbind and rebind every day: Unbind and rebind three meals before eating; Take it off before taking a shower and fasten it after taking a shower. Tie it 24 hours a day for 2 weeks after delivery. If it is loose, tie it again. After the third week, it can be tied during the day and removed at night.
6) Cleaning method: clean with cold cleaning essence, then clean with clear water and dry. Don't use the washing machine because it wrinkles easily.
7) Binding method and dismantling method of abdominal belt: 1, supine, supine, knees up, feet flat on the bed, thighs above knees at right angles to abdomen as far as possible. Raise your hips and put two cushions under them. 2. Put your hands on the lower abdomen, palms forward, and massage and hold the internal organs in the direction of "heart". 3. Tie it in two stages, from pubic bone to navel, * * * 12 laps, with the first seven laps overlapping, and "oblique folding" once every 1 lap (oblique folding refers to turning the front side of the abdominal belt to the back side, and then continuing to tie it down, and the oblique folding parts are on both sides of the buttocks). After five turns, move 2 cm upward in each turn, and spiral bind. 4. Tie 12 laps at a time. If the abdominal circumference is large, use 3 abdominal bands. If the abdominal belt can't stick to your stomach, put a towel on it before you tie it. 5. When disassembling, roll them back to a solid circle for later use.
Matters needing attention in using abdominal belt
1, attention should be paid to chemical fiber: chemical fiber has a strong smell and is generally uncomfortable. It is easy to irritate the skin in summer, and it is easy to generate static electricity in winter, especially several sets, commonly known as "Zongzi Belly Belt", which are very inconvenient to use. So be sure to know the ingredients contained in the product when buying.
2. Afraid of binding, afraid of squeezing: especially the wide and heavy abdominal belt, some sets (commonly known as "Zongzi abdominal belt") are not expensive, but most of them are made of chemical fiber, which basically does not contain cotton, and they are not easy to use in summer or winter. Binding extrusion of gastrointestinal tract and abdominal cavity is not good for your health, but it is not good if you have more binding.
3. Inelasticity of pure cotton: Although pure cotton or gauze is breathable, it is inelastic. If it is loose, it will have no effect. It is too tight and uncomfortable, and it is not convenient to use.
4, pay attention to the size of the abdominal belt: the abdominal belt is divided into three sizes: large, medium and small, and many mothers are entangled because of the size mismatch after buying it. It is recommended to choose a uniform size and good natural elasticity.
When is postpartum tummy tuck used?
During pregnancy, the uterus will become bigger and the abdominal wall will become slack. In addition, when giving birth to a child, you need to exert force, which will lead to postpartum abdominal enlargement and abdominal muscle relaxation. The whole person looks the same as before delivery;
Therefore, many parturients will choose to use the abdominal belt after delivery, especially within one week after delivery, and it is best to start using it on the third day after delivery. However, the abdominal belt can't be tied all the time. Untie when lying in bed or sitting and resting, and fasten it when getting out of bed. Because long-term use of abdominal belt will affect blood circulation, limit the activities of lumbar muscles and abdominal back, and prolong the recovery time.
After 7 days of delivery, if the new mother needs to do more strenuous activities or return to work early, she can also use the abdominal belt for a short time. But after putting it on for an hour or two, it is necessary to untie it and let the waist and abdomen relax for a while.
