Can Postpartum Shapewear Help You Rediscover Yourself?

We know that being a new mom is not easy. You're thrilled when you finally see the sweet little face of your nine-month-old baby, but you've probably also felt a whirlwind of isolation. Chances are, you're feeling overwhelmed, you're suffering from sleep deprivation, and you may even be experiencing mood swings. You may be wondering if you can get back to feeling and looking like yourself.

First, we want you to know that this is all normal. It's only natural that it can be difficult to adjust to your new baby, your new body, and your new life. In the pre-pregnancy era, you thought you were ready for a change, but now you realize that you completely underestimated the enormity of it. This is absolutely true and very common.

Your figure has changed, your relationships have changed - let's not whitewash it, your whole life has changed! Aside from the demanding new routine of feeding every 2 or 3 hours, explaining your baby's needs through cries and coping with pain and suffering you never imagined can be an exhausting task. You even May find yourself looking in the mirror and realizing you don't even know yourself - who is this exhausted woman and whose body is that?

In all the chaos, please don't forget to take care of yourself. Just because you're a mom now doesn't mean you should put self-care on the back burner -- in fact, it's more important than ever for you to be in tune with your body and its needs. Never be afraid to ask for help - after all, you've done a lot of work! As hard as it can be, try not to feel guilty about not being able to handle everything. Just keep trying, rest as much as you can, and remember "this too will pass."

Eating healthy, nutritious foods is important for getting back in pre-pregnancy shape, as is exercising as much as possible. Don't forget the most important factor: time. Take it slow, take breaks when needed, and be patient with yourself and the process. But at the same time, for increased comfort and confidence, we recommend trying out postpartum shapewear!

You're probably here because someone recommended postpartum shapewear - maybe they claim it can help your body get back to its pre-pregnancy shape. Your mom may have vowed to bring back the postpartum belt after pregnancy, but can modern shapewear really serve the same purpose? Maybe you're wondering if postpartum shapewear is really worth the money. After all, postpartum shapewear doesn’t come cheap!

The truth is, shapewear can help you look and feel more like your former self. When worn properly, shapewear aids in postpartum recovery as it has a compressive function that compresses the body helps flatten the abdomen, and promotes blood circulation in the area it covers. Post-pregnancy shapewear can help you re-identify the person in the mirror because it effectively compresses your belly, bringing it closer to your pre-pregnancy size.

Postpartum shapewear and abdominal wraps can also help if you have a rectal separation (AKA abdominal separation), a very common condition where your abdominal muscles split to accommodate your growing baby and growing uterus. While the separation will eventually heal on its own, special exercises and shapewear can help speed up the process. Compression increases blood flow to your muscles, which can help you recover from this common condition, while also helping your belly look more like it did before.

Postpartum support shapewear can not only help you look better - but it can also help you feel better! Because the shapewear compresses your back and abdomen, it can help improve your posture while providing back support, which may relieve some of your back pain. It also helps you sit up straighter, and everyone knows that maintaining a better posture can also ease discomfort.

Don't forget - postpartum shapewear should be comfortable! Compression garments should fit like a hug - comfortable enough to move around, yet strong enough to make a difference. If your postpartum shapewear isn't comfortable enough to wear all day, you may need to swap it out for a different size. If you find yourself needing a larger size than usual, don't be discouraged - your body is still changing, and shapewear will help you get back to your original size. All of our shapewear is made with breathable materials so you'll feel supported instead of suffocating.
