Abdominal Binder Uses
After giving birth, particularly after having a c-section, some women opt to wear an abdominal binder because it provides support to the belly region. An abdominal binder is an elasticized wrap or a bandage that you wrap around your midsection. This supports your abdomen and is beneficial if you have just had any kind of abdominal surgery. Wearing a binder speeds up your recovery and allows you to get back to your normal activities quicker.
