Tummy fat is a major concern of moms post baby birth. In the earlier days a cotton sari was worn tightly around the tummy covering the midriff area. This helped in giving support to the abdominal muscles.

When you are pregnant, your body, especially the stomach area opens up so much, as also the uterus and the abdominal walls, so as to accommodate the growing baby. Once the baby is delivered, these muscles do not contract immediately. If you have had a normal delivery you can start wearing the postpartum belt at once. If you have had a C-Section, you need to wait for a couple of weeks before using the belt.
