Nano Bamboo Postnatal Recovery & Support Belly Band

FAQ

• Will it be uncomfortable wearing a belly band?

  You will only feel comfortable when using our nano bamboo belly band with high elasticity.

• Can I wear the bengkung wrap to sleep or during meals?

  YES, you can as the tightness is adjustable. As long as you’re not feeling uncomfortable, you can wear this belly band for long hours including to sleep!

  Friendly reminder: Don't force yourself if you're feeling unwell.

• Do I remove it when using the toilet?

  No need, you can just roll the bottom part up.

• When can I start wearing it?

  Our bengkung is suitable for both natural birth and C-section mamas. You can start wearing it right after delivery. Seek your doctor's permission if you have any doubts.

  For c-section recovery, you can put on the belly band loosely as a stabilizer to help to avoid pulling your wound then move it up to apply compression on your belly as soon as you are feeling okay with it. This can be done as our belly band is super elastic and can easily adjust to meet your different needs. 

  Bear in mind to cover your incision well, wear it outside your clothes. After your incision is recovered, you can wear it tighter for abdominal muscles and uterus recovery. 

  You can put the belly band in your hospital bag, show it to your doctor, consult the doctor for the best time of wearing it. (That’s why we recommend you to buy it before your delivery.)

• Can I still use it a couple months after delivery/ have miscarriage before?

  You can still use our belly band even if you gave birth for some time. We would recommend you to exercise and breastfeed as well to speed up the recovery.

  If you had miscarriage before, you can wear it to fasten up the process of lochia discharge.

  Many mums are concerned with the time they can use this belly band is only restricted to the recovery period, but our band actually supports you during your menstruation. Put the band on when you’re having a period, it can ease your back pain and keep your uterus warm since it contains far-infrared rays to improve blood circulation.

  When you put off belly band, keep all velcros turned in and roll it up to prevent it from snagging with other clothes.

• Can I slim down my hip/ pelvis?

  Our belly band is wide enough to cover till your pelvic area, but it is different from a pelvic belt as it is soft one. Our belly band functions to help your uterus and muscle recovery after delivery and get back to original shape gradually, so it can be said like a slimming product.

• My band changes in shape a bit is that normal? Why my belly band keeps rolling up?

  Yes, that’s normal. The band will slightly change to fit your body curve better. Noted that this would not affect the functions of your belly band.

  If you're going to sit for a prolong period, you may want try pulling it further down a little lower over your hips when you sit down. So the end of the belly band won't keep folding up.
