postpartum belly band

Ok so to my second time mommas out there, did you use a belly band/tummy shaper/girdles right after giving birth or next day? Or if you waited how long did you waited before you started using one? What kind/brand did you use? Im a FTM 35 weeks started my pregnancy at 124lbs and gain so far 25lbs . I'm 5'7in hight but before finding out I was pregnant I was in the process of lossing weight witch up to that date I had loss over 35 pound so I'm kind of freaked out to stay at this weight or gain what I loss right back after birth. Thank you in advance!!!  :)

Thanks ladies for your response. Now for the ones that did used it how fast after birth did you start using it?

I've had three babies so far and haven't used any band shaper or girdle after them and always ended up back at prepregnancy shape fairly quickly. I think if you eat healthy and stay active they aren't really necessary.

Bf will help alot to shed baby weight I gained over 50 and lost it all except 5lbs until I quit bfing and gained back 20 :( I used a velcro band I got off amazon for about 30 bucks and safety pinned it over when it got too big honestly idk if it made my stomach shrink back better or faster but I will definitely wear it again not only cuz theres no harm in it but my guts felt like they were falling around after I had my son for a couple days (very strange feeling) I started wearing in about 3hrs after birth
