Post-Partum

There are many post-partum belly wraps available in the market nowadays. Thus, there are some aspects to consider before picking up the best post-partum belly wrap. For most women, the best post-partum belly wrap includes the following aspects: (i) Comfortability: A good belly wrap has to be skin-friendly that does not break out an itch or cut into the skin when wrapping it around the body; (ii) Invisibility: When we choose a belly wrap, it is important to have a belly wrap that is not noticeable because this belly wrap is going to be worn underneath the garment; and (iii) Durability: A good belly wrap should be durable and does not easily slip off when we do out daily tasks.

Most women are worried that they would have wider hips after pregnancy. It is unavoidable but the size can be shrinked to normal size, the size when you haven’t got pregnant. I am a Mom of 2 kids, and I still have my pre-pregnancy body. Well, I have a Grandma who is quite strict when it comes to post-partum. She (and she ‘allied’ with my mom) to ensure that I learn how to wear bengkung or traditional wrap (traditional girdle or even corset) during my confinement period, that is, 44 days. I had to bear the fact that I could not wash my hair during my confinement. No cakes, no biscuits, no cabbage, no juices, and not even fried foods during my confinement days. It was a strict one but the most challenging part was the traditional wrap! The worst situation was to unwrap when I had to go to pee.
