After having an unplanned csection in June, I purchased multiple binders to help with compression to ease discomfort. The one from the hospital was awful - it rolled up and dug in everywhere! So did some of the others I purchased. Luckily, this one was perfect! It's extra stretchy, comfortable, and most important of all...is long enough that it doesn't roll up or dig in like the others. As the title states, if you're plus size and having a csection, you can't go wrong with this high quality binder!

I have had an umbilical hernia repaired and doc told me I need to wear a belly band during the day. I love this product, I originally purchased 3. I have since purchased 3 more because the Velcro works great but, it is only one piece of Velcro that sticks to the material. It sticks great for about the first 8-10 times. After that, the material that it sticks to becomes fuzzy and will no longer stick to it. It then becomes useless. With it being kinda pricey, I hated having to buy more simply because the Velcro was no longer sticking to the material. I did purchase some Velcro that is 3 inches wide and sewed it on the band so now it will stick to the Velcro that was already on there. This solved my problem, so now I can actually use them until they wear out. So, great product after the minor fix. Also, wish it came in a 16 inch wide as well.

Let me say that I am a larger girl and I have a very large hernia I was trying to hide with this band. I really wanted to give it 5 stars but there are too many issues with it for me. First of all, let me say that it is stiff enough when it is first purchased. And at first it seemed well made. Stitching and edges looked well done. Velcro seemed to hold well and be well attached.The issues began to show up with first use.First of all, it takes two people to put it on. There was no way, with all my wriggling and wiggling to be able to put it on myself so that it laid smoothly under my clothes. I kept getting the Velcro lined up unevenly. I could either get the top portion on in the tightness I wanted or the bottom, but the velcro would attach oddly and cause a ridge or lump, or it would lay at a crossway direction that did not allow it to lay flat either.I finally had my husband help me (and he had to really tug on it) to do the bottom while I did the top. That seemed to work pretty well. I could still see it under a tee shirt though. But it did not reduce the hernia much at all. Even when we redid it and had the velcro (the firmest point of the belt) lay over the hernia itself, it did not reduce the appearance much.But I wore it for several hours and it was not really a bother having it on. I mean, I knew it was there, but could sit, walk, bend, and it stayed put and didn't keep me from going about my normal day.The next day, husband was already gone to work when I wanted to put it on. Even with it having been worn and hoping it would have broken it in some, was I able to get it on smoothly. Same issues with it showing bumps and lumps. With it not being on evenly, It began to move and become uncomfortable, so I took it off. I tried again next day, same issues, but now, after only twice wearing it, I began to see "stretch marks" in the banding and it also creased at the waist line and cause some pain where it did so.It just was not working for what I wanted.I also noticed little fuzzies in the velcro that it picked up from my hoodie I'd worn with no shirt under it. That made me realize it would eventually become too clogged with fuzz to attach well.The band is nice and tall, I am short (5 feet tall) and it went from just under my breast area down to an inch or two past my hip area. So, I gave it three stars for that. But I just can't stand behind it for much more than that if you are looking for something that will not be seen or is easy enough to put on if you are a larger person. Durability seems as though it will be iffy.

The surgeon binder was two binders put together and did not work. Measure yourself to make sure you get the right size. But the best part is the Velcro will go anywhere on the outside of the binder vs surgeon’s binders where the Velcro could only attach in a small area. Having the ability to adjust down as swelling goes down is great and will last a long time. Nice washing bag and additional Velcro protector for washing. I might order a second one. Wearing this with lipo foam sheets and it’s very comfortable. It is slightly itchy directly on your skin. Recommend with the foam lipo sheets or wearing over clothing.
