I used a belly bandit. I'm not sure that it made a huge difference, although I guess I have been back in my regular jeans since a few weeks after birth. As for their claims that you can wear it under clothing, well, that's ridiculous. You could definitely see it under clothing unless it's really bulky, so I just wore mine around the house. I didn't find it to be all that comfortable, so I didn't wear it as much as they recommend I didn't love it, but I'd probably use it again.

Here in Japan pretty much all women wrap their bellies after giving birth and most of them go back to their pre-pregnancy shape quite well. I used a wrap for a few weeks (not the belly bandit but similar) and am pretty pleased with how my tummy looks now (have been back to pre-preg weight since LO was 4 months).

I really felt the need to use one for the first couple of weeks after having LO, I felt like my insides were about to fall out and having the support felt much better!

I used a belly bandit and would highly recommend it. I felt like my tummy went back into shape quicker and it supported my back and CS scar. It was ok comfort wise once I got use to it. As for wearing under clothes, yes it was bulky but I was still in maternity stuff anyway until I felt more comfortable. I wore it pretty much all day everyday for the first 6 weeks. X
