Directions
Begin wearing after birth on the day that you are discharged from the hospital. It’s optimal to begin wearing Bellefit right after birth; however, you will still see results if you begin to wear your girdle at any time during the first 6 months after the delivery.
Here’s why: Still present after childbirth for up to 6 months are hormones secreted during pregnancy. These hormones, Estrogen, progesterone and relaxin loosen the abdominal muscles, the pelvic structure and supporting ligaments and joints. Bellefit works together with your body’s natural process of recovery.
Zipper Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of the Girdle with Zipper?

Absolutely love it. I just wish I had known about this product earlier. The material is just beyond comfortable, and can be worn all day. It gives me so much confidence and makes a huge difference to my shape under clothing. It feels secure, sturdy, and having the boning down each sides really reinforces correct posture. I am actually considering purchasing further items. Totally recommend this.

Oh, to think if I had known about this with my first two babies! My poor ribcage could have been saved so much sooner! As it is, I bought it about 6 weeks after my third baby was delivered via c-section, and I could notice a difference after a week. It was not comfy the first week, with the boning digging into my skin. But after I wore it 24/7 that first week, it softened up a bit and now, 6 weeks later, I can hardly tell I’m wearing it. Sure it shrunk my ribs a little, but the best part is that it flattens my tummy underneath my clothes, and when I’m nursing and have to pull my shirt up, my soft, fat postpartum belly doesn’t spill all over the top of my pants! I’m nice and tucked in with my girdle! I love this thing.

I ordered this product in an XL and L and have been very happy with the transformation so far at 3 months postpartum. I had twins with my first pregnancy with a c-section and wish I had known about this product. I wound up with a repeat c-section and my recovery this time around was much easier. Having the support in my back and mid-section afterwards allowed me to move around with ease and side-sleep comfortably. The only thing I would change is the boning in the sides. In the XL it was sewn into a belt loop, which I eventually needed to remove, and it was fairly easy to do so but in the large, it’s sewn into the garment and it’s quite a bit longer. When I wear it to sleep, the boning bunches up and pinches a bit. I’ve also found I’ve needed to use a bra band extender on the groin (I have a long torso). The garment quality has been great though and it has withstood washing and wearing well. I wish there was a store in Canada that carried Bellefit!

Absolutely love my girdle!! This is my fifth baby and my first time using a girdle and the difference is amazing. I feel and look better just wearing it. I first bought the zip-up kind and it was too small & I was so disappointed, but I ordered the pull-up kind in the next size up and loved it until a few weeks later the binding broke. I emailed Bellefit and told them and sent a picture and they had me remeasure and answer some questions about my body-type and within a week I had my new one!!! I even got to keep the old one and use it to workout in. They suggested I get the clasp kind and I really like it. It’s my favorite of the three with the pull- up kind being my second choice. So happy with my purchase in every aspect!

I’ve only worn this girdle for one week, and already I feel the greatest difference in the flatness of my stomach. This girdle even helps support my back as we’ll as all the abdominal muscles. I wish I knew this about product with my first. I do suggest ordering two girdles, as I already feel small enough for a medium now.My pre-pregnancy weight was 145 and I’m 5’6. At 38 weeks I ordered the large. After my daughter was born I weighed 192. After just one week, with just healthy eating choices and wearing the girdle I feel great with more confidence/supportand have lost 8 lbs(keep in mind I’m eating a lot more salads and fruit more than anything else). I highly recommend this product. It’s worth every dollar!!

I believe every woman who has just delivered will experience the same set of emotions, one of which is the worry and frustration each time we look in the mirror, months after delivery and yet still looking pregnant. I had this worry and decided to try this product. One word- excellent. Immediately after using it, I can feel a difference. It flattens the tummy, support the back, and definitely uplift my morale! Thanks bellefit!

I bought this girdle to wear after the birth of my second child, i’d gained 50lbs and decided I would need as much help as I could get if I wanted to lose all that baby fat and not have permanent post pregnancy bump! So after thorough research I found Bellefit. I had a c-section so decided to purchase the girdle with the side zip in a size medium and the one that you just pull up a in small (for when I’d trimmed down a bit). I’m 5 ft 3 in and weighted 180lbs when i had my son, the advice is to wear the girdle within a couple of days post partum but because of the type of my medium girdle it was painful to put on so soon after surgery, i had to wait about 5 or 6 days. In hind sight i should have spent the few extra bucks and bought the corset that fastened in the front and maybe a large rather than med. Anywho, i wore my girdle everyday and lost almost 40lbs in 3 months! Compared to my first pregnancy without a girdle and being a decade younger, it took me several years to lose the 35lbs and pouch i’d gained. The quality of the girdle is definitely worth the cost, it gives excellent support which makes it comfortable to even sleep in. I also found when I ate that i felt fuller sooner when I wore Bellefit, than when I didn’t, most likely due to how well pulled together and supported my torso was. After 3 months of regular use and washing on the gentle cycle the girdle is in such good shape that i can wear it a while after my next pregnancy!

I had a C section about 5 weeks ago but started wearing this girdle with zipper about a week after surgery. I bought the small because it was the size suggested using the “choosing and sizing” tool on bellefit. I gained about 30 lbs during pregnancy at 5 feet tall. My belly was very swollen after delivery, looked like I was still 5 months pregnant. My belly was very tender and still is 5 weeks postpartum. I wore the girdle about few times a week only for about 2-3 hours at a time because the small was quite tight. As the swelling decreased I increased the wearing time. The girdle really helped the pain by compressing the flab. The only thing I say needs improvement is the hook/zipper part. I think it needs another hook in the middle because the current design has a hook on the top and one on the bottom. When you’re still so swollen it’s extremely hard to zip in the middle when there’s no hook to hold the girdle together close enough to zip it up! I would recommend buying the bundle in 2 different sizes. One should be the suggested size and one in a size bigger if you want to wear it right after delivery. The suggested size would not fit comfortably. (That’s if you can even fit in to it without waiting a week or so!)

A week of using this after having my baby via c-section and it helped me with posture and getting my uterus back to original size. I felt more confident using this girdle as it made me look slimmer and held everything in. Also helped with the pain from my c-section and helped me heal faster because of it.

I bought this after our daughter (second baby) was born. I love it! It smooths everything out and really helped with the water retention. I’ve had a belly band in the past and I couldn’t wear it out of the house since it would bunch up under my clothes. This was a perfect solution!

I own three of these girdles and I love them! I started with the dual closure since I had a c-section and after 3 weeks ordered the small as I’d lost so much weight. I wore the smaller dual closure for a few months and now that my scar has healed I wear the girdle with zipper as sometimes the dual closure front seam can be seen through clothing. At first, I didn’t clasp the underside strap because I was scared of having to use the bathroom and not being able to get it undone fast enough, but once I started using it the girdle fits so much better. I just wear a pantyliner in case I wait too long. 🙂 This is my second baby and I look so much better than I did with my first. The girdles are very well made and hold up to a lot of pulling and tugging without any seam tearing. With my first baby, I used a band compression binder, but they are terrible and roll up when you move around. Uncomfortable and I never wore it. The underneath clasp on these girdles really helps keep it in place so you don’t have to mess with it. I’m able keep it on all day. These girdles are more expensive than the abdominal band ones but they are so much more wearable it’s money well spent!

This girdle was truly helpful in supporting my midsection. I had horrible issues with my SI joint during pregnancy and after with no core muscles on top of back pain the girdle made all the difference. It was very easy to wear and stayed in place. How ever, when it comes to how it looked…it made my butt horribly flat and gave me saddle bags; also it was not long enough for my torso I don’t think. I would prefer it to come high enough in the back that it doesn’t give the appearance of a role under the bra. All in all I’m glad I made the purchase it feels good to wear it around the house for support.

I had my baby 16 days ago and have loved my bellefit- I have lost 20lbs and am back at my pre-pregnancy weight!!!!! I love the support it gives my core as I gain strength back as well. It is slimming under clothes and you can still easily breast feed and pump in it. Everyone keeps commenting how slim and fit I look- from strangers to family members! It’s seriously amazing and I know it’s the bellefit. The only thing I am disappointed about is that I didn’t get the set of two because I am ready to drop down to the small already!!! Can’t recommend enough!!

I bought the bellefit girdle with side zipper. I didn’t start wearing it until 6 weeks after delivery. I do like it but it is really tight. At first I had problems wearing it because I had a moderate tear since I delivered vaginally. The flap of fabric that goes between my legs was really tight and I could hardly stand wearing it because it put so much pressure on my vaginal area. I finally thought to myself that I had a bra extender that i could use to create more space and decrease the pressure. This helped although i’m sure it was not the way the company intended for it to be worn. After I did that though it seemed that the girdle was a lot more comfortable because i could pull the girdle up where it was supposed to be rather having it half way down my stomach where it seemed to put a lot of pressure on my upper stomach area and also having to pull it down because of the pressure on my vaginal area. I don’t wear it everyday yet because i am at home but when i go back to work i think i will start wearing it everyday. The only thing that would make this product better is maybe having a long torso option or a extended crotch snap for women that has these issues. When I wear the girdle i do feel more confident and secure because it is supporting my post baby belly! I do enjoy that part!

To give you a better idea of fit, I am a petite 4’11” and at 9 weeks postpartum I weigh 105lbs. This baby is baby #7 and I am 38 years old. I ordered a size xsmall because I would be shrinking and couldn’t afford to buy two girdles in different sizes. I started wearing the girdle at about 1 week postpartum. Before then it was too uncomfortable on my sore uterus. The girdle has a lot of compression and I was really squishing to get into the xsmall. The girdle has a lot of compression and really squeezes things back in. I wore the girdle all day every day for the first 8 weeks and now my belly is much flatter. I am not back to my prepregnancy size but not bad for #7. The girdle seemed to help support my back as well. The downside is that it is not always comfortable. Driving in it was very uncomfortable for me. Sitting in the rocker nursing was also not very comfortable… Would I wear it again with a future pregnancy? Probably. However, ! am only giving four stars due to the boning issue causing lack of comfort.

This is an absolute must! – I am just sad that I didn’t have this for my first c-sec. It has made the recovery so much easier and has exceeded my expectations in only 2 weeks since my delivery. It took a few days post delivery in order to actually zip up and it was very tight at first but each day has gotten easier and easier. I am receiving so many compliments on how thin I look after having a 9 lbs baby and gaining over 40 lbs. I am completely off pain meds as this provides the support and stability I need for my incision to heal. A little pricy but worth every penny!

After using the online size calculator, I ordered a size small. The first time I tried it on I couldn’t hook or zip the girdle. When I tried the Bellefit again I was able to hook and zip it while lying down. So, I got very excited and wore it for the whole day. While extremely snug it was fine while I was standing but when I sat down it dug into my sides. I truly believe if I would have bought a different style and could wear the girdle all day that it would work wonders.

I started wearing my bellifit 5 days after my c-section. It truly helped with the pain from the incision. I feel that wearing the bellifit, watching what I ate, and exercising all contributed to my weight loss after giving birth. I would also like to mention that their customer service is fantastic! The zipper on my bellifit broke. I contacted customer service and after answering a few questions, they sent me a replacement free of charge! I am happy I purchased a product from a company that stands behind their product!

I ordered the girdle w/zipper in size small. I did gain 50lbs pregnant, all belly really. I could not zip/clasp the girdle, so I returned it for a medium. When I received the medium, it was tight, but I was able to squeeze into it- which I thought was perfect. Although the material over my tummy was comfortable I’d say- the top seam and zipper werent. I think it is too tight.

I haven’t had the bellefit long, but it does exactly what they say it does! My tummy looks just about exactly as it did pre-pregnancy. I was shocked. I am a small person and gave birth to a 10lb baby. I was all tummy. When I first ordered I apparently didn’t do my sizing accurately and ordered a small. It was to snug so uncalled to exchange it. The level of customer service is exceptional. They sent me a medium in the mail that day. I didn’t even have to wait for my small to be returned and restocked! They also sent me a mailing label. It doesn’t get better than that. I would recommend this to anyone.

I had an unexpected c-section and this girdle not only slims my belly and keep things tight, I notice a HUGE difference in my comfort and pain level. While wearing the girdle, I don’t need to take much or really anything for pain management but I notice when I go even a few hours of not wearing it, my incision and belly get really sore. I definite recommend this girdle. Pretty easy to put on, not uncomfortable to sit down in and does the job!

They are a good idea. Good tummy support BUT if you have big hips it can be tight in that area.

I didn’t know about this girdle until a friend told me about it 4-5 weeks postpartum. I ordered it a couple weeks later. I’m glad I went with medium instead of the small size which is the size the size chart recommended for me. When I first put it on I needed someone’s help and they still had a hard time because it was beyond tight. The first few times someone helped me put it on. Then I started doing it myself. I was trying to wear it regularly but because it was so tight I couldn’t. One night I felt like I was suffocating and immediately removed it. Despite wearing it often, I still have my small belly from my uterus. I don’t know if I’m not wearing it enough. Because it is so tight and uncomfortable still and it is 115 degrees outside its hard to wear when I go Outside so that may be why it has not worked 100%. Also the top hook broke off couple weeks ago and I can’t secure the top anymore. I also wish the girdle was higher up because you can see my upper stomach coming out of the girdle through my clothes which is gross. I go back to work in a week and was trying on work clothes with the girdle on and You can see my upper stomach. Overall the concept is great but the main issue is the discomfort still and not having the top hook.
