Natural delivery is more painful than planned delivery, but because there is no wound, the recovery time in the later period is relatively short, and the skin of the abdomen will become slack after delivery, so many mothers want to have their stomachs in quickly, and they don't know what kind of underwear and tummy belt to choose. So what underwear should they wear after natural childbirth?
What underwear should I wear after childbirth?
Pregnant women wear underwear after giving birth to their children, because their bellies are still very big after giving birth, and they can also wear sanitary napkins. At this time, you can choose a postpartum corset with the effect of body shaping and abdomen support.
It is beneficial to use the abdominal band 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 day. 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.
What underwear to wear after confinement?
1, cotton underwear with good fabric elasticity is the best choice for postpartum underwear. Compared with underwear made of chemical fiber fabric, cotton underwear can reduce the entrance of fiber dust particles into mammary duct, thus affecting the secretion of milk.
2. Postpartum underwear with opening design not only improves the function of the bra itself, but also can be opened at any time. When breastfeeding, it is very convenient for the mother to unbutton the button with one hand and hold the baby with the other.
Bra underwear should be wider at the bottom and slightly larger at the top, so that the fat under the armpit will not be ugly when worn. The direction of the bra shoulder strap should be vertical, and it is more convenient for the bra with buttons in front to feed. There are special nursing underwear on the market. Try to choose a light-colored bra, avoid dark colors, and be careful not to choose a bra that will fade.
