You probably remember my review of the Cinch postpartum girdle several weeks ago. The Cinch was one of the few girdles that I had the opportunity to test and I had some amazing results after just 4 weeks of use! You can see in the photo below!
The Cinch was the only girdle that I wore for the full 8 weeks! After that length of time, I am so happy to show you my after picture-I can see my abs coming back! Hallelujah!
Now, to answer your questions.
What does a postpartum girdle do?
A postpartum girdle compresses the tummy and uterus in order to help shrink it back to its original size-sometimes even smaller! Some are also made to shrink your hips as well. For C-section mamas, they help hold the incision in well due to the fact that some incisions tend to come apart. They also give you the support you need when using your abdominal muscles postpartum when you are still weak.

Why should you wear a postpartum girdle?
Many reasons!
- Faster bounceback rate
- Tummy support
- Flattens your tummy & hips
- Prevents enlargement of fat cells
- Straightens your spine
- Helps compress your uterus to not only return the uterus to its original size, but to help swelling go down and extra fluid come out.
When do you start wearing a girdle?
Immediately after giving birth, at the hospital!
How long are you supposed to wear the girdle for?
For the first 8 weeks immediately upon giving birth. This is because the hormone Relaxin stays within your system for this long!

Is it worth the money ?
Simply put-YES!!!!
Can I skip it?
Sure! Girdles just speed up the process of getting back to your pre-pregnancy body and compress areas that your body normally cannot on its own so it is highly recommended to use one!
As you can see, a girdle is a very vital part of bouncing back after pregnancy. I couldn't live without mine! The Cinch was a perfect fit!
