Yes. It is part of standard postpartum care in many other countries. I belly-wrapped tightly for 4 months postpartum at the recommendation of my MIL (she lives and is from abroad) and am so grateful she passed this knowledge down to me. It's really unfortunate that it's not common practice/knowledge sharing (in the US at least).
I got this one. It still hiked up more than I liked (as another poster mentioned), but I dealt with it and was after the long-term benefits.
I would focus on specific core training to help with DR. You should be able to find YouTube videos. I got rid of mine fully by doing that.
I agree too. I saw a women’s health physio and she gave me great exercises (but you can find them online too)
I belly wrapped for about 6 weeks post c-section. It was annoying but did seem to help a lot. I stopped so I could start letting my body strengthen without the assistance
Pilates helped me! I tried to wear a belly band postpartum after a c section but it did not work with my very hourglass body type. I could only wear it when I was standing up and completely still because otherwise my wide hips and smaller waist made it ride up. Also, it seemed like it was just pushing my belly down and making my lower belly bigger and the top of my belly smaller, which was not at all what I wanted.
Pro
My understanding is that they are not a weight loss solution, but it can help with diastis recti. Personally, I found it most beneficial to help with my c-section recovery. Having pressure on the incision really helped me feel more comfortable.
Be careful with the free belly wrap from the hospital though! Mine gave me an itchy rash whenever it touched my skin.
