Essential for post abdominal surgery of any kind
I ordered various compression garments for hernia repair and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery. I ordered different sizes and different types and this was one of my favorites. I ordered these in black and in nude colors, and in XL, L, and M. The M size was the best fit for me. I didn't measure myself post surgery or after surgery, but I'm 5'1" and 130lbs. I did not like the other sizes because they didn't provide that really snug feeling you want to have after a surgery like that. The L and XL were much easier to get into, but they wouldn't have provided the support I needed, loose fitting is not the point of a compression garment. These ones have a few hooks that go about to my belly button and then they have a zipper and the crotch was also hooked flap, much like unhooking a bra, that made using the bathroom much easier, and the reason that I didn't end up using any of the other garments that were just a panty style that had to be pulled down- after a surgery that extensive, you are not going to want to pull anything down that you don't have to. They have boning going down the sides, which I would have liked to have gone down further, but that's really a small thing that doesn't make me want to search for another type of compression garment.My surgeon just casually mentioned that I might want to pick up some type of compression garment or abdominal binder for post surgery, but it wasn't a requirement and I think it should be. Abdominal surgery leaves you feeling very puffy and bloated, not to mention sore. The swelling and fluid retention before the drain was removed was very apparent, but after the drain was removed it was even more significant and very noticeable. When taking off the compression garments that were placed on directly after surgery by the surgery team, it feels like all of your insides are going to spill out, you will want to put on a compression garment as soon as possible. After the 72 hours of no showering was up, I had help taking a shower and while the water felt nice and I love the feeling of being clean, I couldn't wait to get it over with so I could put on my compression garments. It's been about 4 weeks since my surgery and I still am wearing them everyday, all day, sleeping included, except when I have to take a shower. My surgeon recommended that they be worn for about 3-6 months post surgery for the best results, but he also added that wearing them for 9-12 months after the surgery was a good idea as well. After going through extensive surgery like that, I have no wish to repeat it, so investing in compression garments and wearing them everyday for a year seems like a small price to pay.As far as garment care goes, I have only hand washed them in lukewarm water and rinsed them in cold water and laid them out flat to dry. I didn't want to test their durability by throwing them in a garment bag and into my wash machine on the hand wash cycle, maybe when I don't absolutely need to wear them I will try that out, but for now, it's worth taking the extra time to hand wash them. Although, don't mix the black and the nude colors when doing this, the dyes that come off of them are very noticeable in the wash water, so just wash the nude ones first and then the black ones.Overall, I really love these compression garments. I was happy with the fits and the colors. They provide so much support and are so comfortable that I don't mind having to wear them everyday. I loved them so much I purchased more so that I wouldn't have to hand wash them everyday. I would recommend these to anyone who is going to have surgery.

True to size
This was very comfortable and I really liked it a lot but unfortunately I have to return and get a smaller one. I am 5 foot 2 119 pounds and I read the reviews and a lot said it ran small so I ordered a medium and it was too big. So I bought a small Looking forward to it coming! Okay my small has arrived and I’ve been wearing and I really like it a lot comfortable and doing its job! Also really convenient is the clasps at the crotch for easy bathroom use.Im 5 weeks post tummy tuck and just what I needed I’ll be getting black one too

Looks nice. Nice material. But i couldn't get it on. I ordered 2xl and it couldn't get above my thighs. I'm 5'6 and 180 pounds 4 weeks postpartum.

It’s ok
I really wanted to LOVE this but unfortunately the area I wanted to have more control of doesn’t have it. It did made me look like I had somewhat of a waist, but the tummy part is not tight enough to press the tummy in. I had a c section 7 weeks ago and needed something to hold together the tummy but it’s not what I expected. It also has two plastic straps on the back and that does feel uncomfortable because It sort of digs in the back. I am keeping it because I like how it has the hooks and zipper in the front. I am 5’ 150lbs post partum and I feel like the medium fits just right. It is very snug, except the tummy part, because that’s what I need, and a small won’t go up from my hips.

Zipper broke after 31 days
Zipper broke day after return window closed.I am 2 weeks post- stomach liposuction and am required to wear compression 24-7 for 6 wks. Love this garment! It’s the perfect length for those who have short waists, and the amount of compression is ideal. At my recent follow up my plastic surgeon ok’d it and said it’s doing the job perfectly. I also have Spanx and Assets but find myself reaching for this one. I’m 5’4, 118 lbs and the small fit perfectly.

Yes!!🙌🏻
I have done trial and error on soooo many different belly bands the money I have spent and all the returns exchanges …it was exhausting! I was giving up hope ..my go to is the one from Belly Bandit only thing is I wish it had a way to not remove the whole thing to use the bathroom. So after searching I gave this one a try and I’m in between sizes so I went a size up XL and it fit perfect and I don’t have to remove it to use the restroom!!!! It’s comfortable good support and I wore it for 8hrs and I was fine. I’m so glad I finally found a belly band that’s functional!

Runs bit large, but terrific
I am a 28X38 waist and hips 5'7" tall and 145 lbs. Hands down the best compression for a tummy tuck/Lipo of hips and flanks after the first 2 weeks. (wear what doc recommends until then) The zipper is out of the way of any incisions. The seams are almost invisible for comfort, no wires Yay! and the legs are wide. The crouch is comfortable with easy access to keep good hygiene.I ordered a large because I was just on the low end of the chart, and the reviews said to go larger. My advice is that if you are on the borderline go smaller if you are on the lower end, and bigger if you are on the higher end. This is made for the mid-range measurement. Returned for a Med. Overall, no marks on my skin when I take it off and very even compression and also has lower belly compression, so the incision is getting what it needs too. Just a side note: until I got this, I have had to wear foam for comfort because other brands were terribly uncomfortable and left marks which is not something you want after a tummy tuck or lipo. Finally feel free to enjoy the next several months in my garment while I heal and be able to wear normal clothes.
