post pregnancy belly wraps?

Any suggestions on what is a good one to use? I have heard good thongs about using belly supports after pregnancy to help your stomach flatten back out, but wasn't sure which kind was good to use.

I've never heard of these! So going to try them though. Do they help with the loose skin ? I'm worried I'll get that with this baby (number2) as I only got a couple of stretch marks with number1.

Estrella ruiz I agree I love those. Same deal, had the more expensive brand ones but ended up preferring the walmart ones.. I'm wearing one as I speak for belly support. Really has prevented the ligament pain

I use the undershirt type one, it's like a reallllllyyyy tight tank top you wear under your clothes to make you look thinner.. I wore one everyday after I had my daughter never worked out because I was too busy with work and I saw major results!! They really do work, it wasn't even a weight loss one just a normal one you can buy anywhere.

I also just used the one the hospital gave to me. I thought it worked great.

I bought a pretty expensive one and was very very unimpressed with it. I'm 5'8 and it was way too short, so it would slide up and push all the extra skin and fat underneath of its edge or vice versa. Felt like it was making it worse. It was also so thick with the velcro that you could see it underneath of things, and when I was exercising it was just ridiculously impractical. I ended up getting a girdle type thing from wal mart for a third of the price, the kind that slides on and has boning in it. It held me in much better without having to readjust bulky velcro over and over. It was longer and had boning in it so provide more support and shape. Best money I spent
