3.What Does Postpartum Abdominal Binder Do After Natural Birth?

The function of “Abdominal Binder” is to make the belly smaller with compression. Light compression from abdominal binder can support your natural transverse abdominal when you can't contract it yet and also slowly bringing the belly back to the spine. The role of belly binder is your transverse abdominal muscle. 

however, it is difficult for the weakened transverse muscle to perform this action of compression after your natural birth, belly binder is to perform the function that your transverse muscle is supposed to do.

If whittling your waist into a classic hourglass shape is your primary goal, postpartum belly binding isn’t what will get you there. Instagram influencers and celebs have made waist training seem like a viable way to lose weight and improve their physical profile. But under medical scrutiny, these claims don’t hold up.


Medical experts caution against using waist trainers, especially for postpartum recovery, because of the potential negative side effects. When worn too tightly or too often, there’s a risk of impaired breathing and even organ damage.
