What kind of abdominal belt should I buy after delivery?
Gauze abdominal belt
Gauze abdominal belt originated in Japan. Because it is more troublesome to use, it has no effect when it is loose, and it affects blood circulation when it is tight. Tightness is difficult to master, and it has been gradually eliminated in recent years.
Novel abdominal belt for nourishing uterus
This is a new type of functional uterus-nourishing abdomen belt, which is very popular with modern intellectual women, such as the postpartum abdomen belt in Ou Man. It has the function of nursing uterus at the same time of tummy reduction and body shaping. It is equipped with angong ointment containing motherwort, safflower and notoginseng for external application, which is very helpful for the rapid recovery of postpartum uterus. Simple and convenient use, good material, good elasticity and good resilience of the abdominal belt. It is a functional abdominal belt that obstetricians are more optimistic about today.
Cotton tummy belt
Although pure cotton is soft and breathable to use, its biggest disadvantage is its lack of elasticity. Without elasticity, you will lose your strength, and the confiscated strength will not have the physical effect of abdomen and body shaping. When choosing this kind of product, it is very important to pay attention to its elasticity and stress.
Binding girdle
This kind of belt is made up of several pieces. The so-called "three-piece suit for abdomen and crotch" is very unscientific. Most of the materials are inferior chemical fibers, which are hard and have poor elasticity. It's very uncomfortable, it's hard to persist, it will squeeze the internal organs and affect blood circulation. Most doctors are against using this kind of belt.
Some new mothers don't really need to consider what style to buy when they buy a tummy tuck, they just need to buy a more convenient, affordable and well-evaluated tummy tuck. After all, the abdomen band is just a way for external force to control your belly to get fat, and it only plays an auxiliary role. To really achieve the effect of thin belly, the best way is to exercise. Exercise can not only protect the abdomen, but also invigorate qi and nourish blood.
Can postpartum abdomen pants be used lying down?
Belly pants can be used lying down, but not for too long. From a medical point of view, tummy tuck pants have two sides, and they must be used reasonably to achieve good results. Sometimes, improper use of tummy tuck pants will be harmful to the health of new mothers. Because the pelvic ligaments and connective tissues are excessively pulled by the pregnant uterus during pregnancy, it is easy to cause postpartum relaxation. If the abdomen pants are stretched too tightly, the intra-abdominal pressure will increase significantly, affecting appetite. In severe cases, it will also cause prolapse of internal reproductive organs, such as vaginal anterior and posterior walls, uterine prolapse, etc., which will bring a lot of inconvenience to the new mother's life and lead to postpartum urinary incontinence.
So why use tummy tuck pants after delivery? Postpartum mothers must wear abdomen pants that suit them to help the body support internal organs. Otherwise, it is easy to cause visceral sagging. Visceral ptosis is mainly due to weak body, weakened elasticity of visceral tissues and ligaments, and inability to support viscera, resulting in partial visceral ptosis. The main organs are: stomach, kidney, uterus and liver. After delivery, due to maternal weakness, the elasticity of various ligaments in the body can not be recovered immediately, which is easy to produce visceral droop. Therefore, it is recommended to use abdominal belt to prevent visceral sagging. Within 2 weeks after delivery, it is recommended that the parturient move around properly to ensure adequate bed rest time.
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.
