Bellefit Mom Victoria felt wonderful postpartum posture relief with the Bellefit Girdle after her C-Section. “Bellefit has absolutely been amazing part of my postpartum recovery. I’m so happy with the results from my girdle. I had a C-Section and with the help and advice from the phone consultant, based on my measurements I was able to go from a corset style girdle size Large to the size Medium within 6 weeks postpartum! The Bellefit girdle not only helped my skin go back to its original self but also kind of helped my stomach organs get back into place. I could actually feel a pressure and posture relief by just wearing the girdle. I loved my experience and would recommend Bellefit to anyone’s Postpartum Recovery.”~ Victoria G.

When Laura D. was pregnant with her first baby, her very supportive sister was determined to find a garment that would help Laura get her pre-pregnancy body back after birth. So after much online research, they discovered that Bellefit was the best choice for Laura’s recovery. “My sister began researching ways for me to get my body back after pregnancy and discovered Bellefit.” I ordered a large corset and medium girdle with side zipper for my recovery because I didn’t know if I would be delivering naturally or by c-section.” recalls Laura. Laura delivered her baby girl via C-section. “My daughter was born on a Wednesday and I was discharged from the hospital on the following Saturday. So I started wearing the corset Sunday. It was a little snug at first, but it made me feel much more secure. I barely noticed my incision when I was wearing it.”Laura realized that wearing her Bellefit garments regularly would give her the results. she thought “I started out on the larger setting of the corset, and slept comfortably in it every other night. After about 5 days, I scaled down to the smaller setting and continued my routine of sleeping in it every other night. My belly button started going back to normal after about a week. I decided to try wearing the medium girdle after about 2 weeks. It was really hard to get zipped up at first. I had to fight it the first couple days I wore it. I’ve been wearing the girdle every day for the last week, and it is super easy to zip up now. It is a little snug on my ribs, but its feeling almost lose across my stomach now!” We often hear moms say that wearing a Bellefit girdle gives them amazing results even before they are able to exercise “I have done absolutely no core exercising because my incision is still a bit tender, but I basically have my pre-pregnancy figure back after having a baby almost 4 weeks ago!”What about the skeptics in Laura’s family? “My mom had been extremely skeptical about me using a postpartum girdle, but after seeing how much it’s helped me and how quickly I am recovering, she is amazed and a total believer!!”Laura D. is relieved of how much wearing a Bellefit girdle helped her not only get back to her pre-pregnancy shape, but also how much better she felt while recovering from her C-section“The Bellefit products are AMAZING!!!I could not be happier with the results. I am still wearing the girdle about every other day. It takes so much stress off of my stomach and incision. My stomach now looks the same with or without the girdle.My before pictures are from the day I came home from the hospital. The afters pictures are after wearing my Bellefit corset and girdle for three weeks. :-)”~ Laura D. Congratulations!

Flatter and Tighter Belly after a 75 Lb Pregnancy “It wasn’t until my 4 week PP appointment that my OB pointed out that I had severe Diastasis. A 4″ separation in my abdomen. I just assumed that I still looked 6 months pregnant because I had given birth to an 11 Lb. baby and gained about 75 Lb. (thanks to developing Gestational Diabetes). I was basically told that there wasn’t much that I could do to fix my bulging belly unless I was willing to undergo cosmetic surgery. I wasn’t convinced that surgery was the only answer, so I did a little (actually a LOT) of online research to educated myself on Diastasis Recti. Many blogs later, it was suggested that the use of a medical grade girdle would yield results. Although I had already been using garments like Spanx, I realized they were not providing the support I needed to heal. Desperate, I researched every Postpartum Girdle I could and read nearly every customer review determined to find the best! I found the Bellefit Girdle. Nothing is more persuasive than real photos of real people and their stories. The Bellefit website was also the only one that I found that even addressed Diastasis as a complication of pregnancy. Convinced I had found the solution, I purchased the Bellefit Corset in a size small on the 21st of March 2012, 4 weeks after delivering via c-section. Even though it was a little snug, it was comfortable. Based on the chart, I was in between a medium and small. So I decided to go with the small. I was optimistic that soon it would produce results. I couldn’t be happier. Absolutely worth every penny! I wore it nearly every second of the day for almost 3 months. I would only take it off to wash. The security and support it offers are considerable! As you can see from my photos I do not have a perfect, flawless belly, but it was important to me to look good and feel good about myself again. I am 5’3″_x009d_ tall, weigh 120 Lb. and was size 2 pre-pregnancy. At delivery I was 195 Lb, size HUGE and weighed about 175 Lbs at my 4 week Postpartum appointment. I still have a few pounds to lose, but at 127 Lb., I feel great and my belly is flatter and tighter than after baby #1. Thank You Bellefit” ~ Candice B. Bellefit Girdles

In recent new mom news, fitness blogger Caroline Berg Eriksen’s baby belly backlash has been on top.The first time mom and wife of soccer player Lars Kristian Eriksen posted a photo on her Instagram feed this week which shows her impressively fit figure. The photo is just 4 days after giving birth to her baby girl Nelia.Being that Caroline has an extensive following on her popular Norwegian blog, just minutes after posting the racy selfie photograph – a web phenomenon made the photo go viral. Thats when the backlash began.There has been a mix of foes and supporters. Some believe that Caroline is causing an unrealistic image for women in posting such a photo. Then there are those who believe she is a true inspiration. They believe she shouldn’t be vilified for being healthy and fit before, during and after her pregnancy. The Bellefit Effect As we have seen, Caroline Berg Eriksen’s post-pregnancy results are not common but possible!Women’s bodies are built to bounce back from pregnancy and childbirth. The reality is that it can be difficult for such postpartum body changes to happen quickly without help. During pregnancy the body secretes hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and relaxin. They remain in the body after childbirth for approximately six months. These hormones are our body’s way of loosening the abdominal muscles. They facilitate the stretching of the abdominal area by as much as 50%, while the baby grows. They also act to loosen the pelvic structure, joints and ligaments to prepare for childbirth. The beauty behind Bellefit ® medical-grade postpartum support garments is that they provide a greater stability for the body after delivery. The compression garments work by drawing in stretched muscles to provide a 360° support structure around the torso. Reducing strain on ligaments and joints in the lower back, pelvis, and buttocks. Reducing stress in these areas enhances your body’s ability to return to its pre-pregnancy alignment, shape and loosen the post baby tummy faster. As shifted and constrained organs return to their pre-pregnancy locations during the first few weeks after c-section or natural childbirth. Bellefit ® girdles hold you in place allowing for movement with greater confidence. A Bellefit ® postpartum garment is an essential part of a comprehensive postpartum care and c-section recovery plan for both health and confidence.

First time mom and U.S. Marine, Destiny M., was overdue at 42 weeks of pregnancy and worried about being able to get fit after having her baby. Fortunately, with the help of a Bellefit Girdle, not only did she reclaim her fit shape, but now has a more toned and shapely figure as well. This is what Destiny had to say about her after labor experience with the Bellefit Girdle: "When I first heard the news that I was pregnant it was a rush of emotions, both excitement and fear! See all my life I have been fit, from high school volleyball to being a United States Marine, fitness has played a huge role in my life. So at 42 weeks of pregnancy I was overdue and super scared my stomach would start to rip, thank god it did not!" "I had been researching Bellefit Girdles for months and right before my labor my husband purchased one for my birthday. The day I left the hospital I had my husband help me into it. Bellefit immediately gave me full support and helped relieve pressure off my back." "The shrinkage in my stomach was remarkable after just two weeks of wearing my girdle everyday. When I removed my Girdle after 10 weeks I was back down to my pre-pregnancy weight!" "It is now exactly six months later and people honestly don’t believe my daughter came from my belly. I am now even smaller than before I was pregnant plus I have tight toned abs and a fantastic body. The daily compliments I receive have made my whole after labor experience truly remarkable! I cannot thank Bellefit enough!!!!!" ~ Destiny M. Congratulations Destiny M.! Bellefit Products

We got in touch with this Bellefit mom to hear her post pregnancy girdle review and find out how it worked for her. "Bellefit was a life changer! Literally!" reminisced Tawanda. Her results were impressive and proof that C-sections and Diastasis Recti are no match for Bellefit Girdles. When I found out that I had to have a c-section I immediately searched for any item that would help me bounce back and keep my stomach in good condition seeing as though I couldn’t work out. I ordered my Bellefit Corset early, so I was able to wear my garment while in the hospital! "I looked amazing and all the staff members and nurses who entered the room gave me rave compliments." added the happy new mom. Tawanda's Post Pregnancy Girdle Review Doesn't End There! Diastasis Recti I soon found out that I had Diastasis recti; it’s an abdominal separation that often times goes unnoticed.

Hi there, I've been wearing a Bellefit girdle for five weeks now. If you are considering any sort of postpartum belly wrap or girdle, I definitely recommend Bellefit. When I was thirty eight weeks pregnant I followed the sizing chart guide on the Bellefit website and I ordered the Pull Up style girdle. I actually had a lot of muscle pain during my first two weeks postpartum which made it pretty difficult to walk or even get up from a couch or bed. But when I wore my Bellefit that pain was substantially less. I think that was due to the extra support that the girdle gives your back and your tummy. My posture seems a lot better when I'm wearing the girdle. The Bellefit Postpartum Girdle Makes My Tummy Look Flat! Best of all, it gives me a flat tummy, even in my first week postpartum people were telling me that I didn’t look like I’d just had a baby. My pregnancy belly was huge, everyone thought that I was carrying twins. I pretty much have been wearing my Bellefit all the time, I even wear it to bed. I do feel much better when I wear it. It doesn't look like like it would be comfortable, but thankfully it is. I've even been wearing it on some really hot days and it doesn't bother me at all. I also really love the fact that you cannot see it under clothing so no one actually knows you're wearing it unless you tell them. Besides quality, that was one of the things I was looking for when I was doing my research online for a postpartum girdle. This girdle is really easy to wash, you just hand wash it and hang it to dry. It dries fairly quickly so you can put it back on sooner rather than later. After wearing my Bellefit for five weeks, it has started to fit a little looser than I would like it to, I'm guessing from loosing some of my baby weight. So when you do order your girdle, I would suggest going with the two size bundle that they offer online.When I was ordering my girdle, it seemed like a lot of money to spend at once when I wasn't sure I would love the product, so I only ordered the size small. Now I'm going to have to go online and order the extra small because I love my girdle so much! Flat Tummy Results Watch her Testimonial Bellefit Featured Products

"Hi everyone, I'm here to talk about the Bellefit product. I recently purchased mine and I love it. I must say that it has worked out for me. I have been wearing it for about 4 weeks now and it fits very comfortably. I do wear it from morning until the end of the night since I go to work because it does help me out with my posture. I do feel a difference. I have also dropped all my weight and my recovery time compared to the first time that I didn't have one. I have actually dropped weight faster and recovered faster. It also helps with your posture as well. So I would recommend it to anyone out there who's actually wanting to purchase one after a C-section because you can move a little bit more and quicker. Customer service was great. I purchased mine on a Sunday and received it on a Tuesday and like I said, I would recommend Bellefit to anyone out there who wants to buy a garment."

The Bellefit has helped me in many ways Besides holding everything in together, it helps me with my posture. Especially to maintain good breastfeeding posture, I have the habit of hunching over but it reminds me I need to sit up straight. Hi I'm Allie from Michigan, my son is 9 days old today, and I put on my pre-pregnancy jeans this morning. When I ordered, I used the sizing chart on their website and chose to order a large, I went from 170 to 200 during pregnancy and I'm 5-4. I opted for the girdle style with no closures because I was not anticipating a C-Section, which worked out for me because I didn't have one. I have found that the Bellefit has helped me in many ways and it really proved it’s worth this morning when I zipped up these jeans.

"My name is Laura and I'm going to speak to you about my Bellefit experience. I had my first baby in May of 2013. Since this was my first pregnancy I wasn't really sure what you expect. At my first OB appointment my doctor told me "Well you're pretty small so you're probably not going to gain more that 35 pounds." Laura showing her bump at none months pregnant Well, 35 pounds came and went and it got to the point where strangers felt the need to tell me how huge my belly was… it was HUGE! So I'd heard about a celebrity that had used a corset after pregnancy and I'd never heard of anything like that. I looked online and I came across Bellefit. As I was looking at it, I thought, "Well, I'm probably not going to buy one of these". It seemed a little pricey and I thought, I don't want to spend that kind of money for the sake of vanity because I want my body back. Bellefit postpartum girdles for recovery after childbirth The more I researched and read the medical benefits and reviews, the more I thought that maybe this was an investment that I needed to make. I was already having so much hip and back pain; I'd slept on the couch the last 2 months of my pregnancy because I was so uncomfortable. >So I talked to my Doctor about it and she said, "Yeah, the Hospital sells you a postpartum compression garment too", so she was on board with it. I thought, "You know, this is something that I can do for myself". It's not just about getting back in my clothes, it's really about having that postpartum support that I knew I was going to need because my belly was so big. I ended up having a C-section and started wearing my Bellefit 5 or 6 days after I got home and the support was amazing! Using Bellefit was so much more than I even expected. When you're trying to pick up your baby, or pickup the car seat, all those things put a lot of stress on your mid-section which has been so stretched out and my girdle really gave me support on my back, AND my stomach. Bellefit made me feel like I had stability in my core. I would say to anyone who is thinking about it, definitely make the investment. As moms we do a lot for everybody else, this is something that you can do for yourself. Laura with her son who she delivered via C-Section Bellefit Gave Stability to My Core After C-section and Being Diagnosed with Diastasis Recti Before During and After of Laura showing her results using Bellefit Girdles A few months ago I found out that I have a three and a half finger separation around my belly button area. Which makes sense considering how large my belly had gotten during pregnancy. I'm even happier that I had Bellefit because I would've been in big trouble without it. Started out with medium, wore it for about9 weeks, then I got the small and ended up ordering the extra small. Would have to say, get the bundle to save a little bit of money, I wish I'd done that, I just didn't know how fast I would go down in sizes. If you're thinking about it, you're not sure, definitely go ahead and get yourself the Bellefit, get the bundle. I started out at 125 lb. when I was pregnant. In the after picture that you're seeing I was about 3 months after I had my baby and I was about 134 lb. Bellefit really set me in a good path to get back in my original size. I didn't think that I would ever get out of Yoga pants, but Bellefit really helped me get that stability, get rid of fluids, swelling and get the support that I'd been missing. So again, do it, buy yourself one, you will not regret it.

Bellefit mom, Crystal B. wore a Bellefit corset after her second pregnancy She loved that it made her torso feel more stable and was thrilled with the results she achieved. "This was my second pregnancy and I did a little research before to find something to help myself feel better and more together after birth. After reading reviews I decided to try Bellefit. I am over the moon thrilled with how I feel after using Bellefit. I put the corset on the day I came home from the hospital. After the first night I could already tell a difference in how I felt." "The corset helped with my posture, and also made me feel 'together'" "I had my baby 1 month ago and I feel absolutely amazing. My pre-pregnancy jeans fit, and I get so many compliments. More importantly, I feel like my old self again and that makes me one happy mama. I wear the Bellefit corset day and night and only take it off to shower.

Currently I have 5 girlfriends that are pregnant and they are all going to purchase the Bellefit because they love my results so much.
