Do not wear shapewear for more than 8 hours a day. It is best to wear shapewear during the day to relax your body at night.

If you have a natural birth: You can wear body-shaping clothes after 1 month. During the confinement period, I suggest you wear an abdominal belt to assist. This is because the three-dimensional cutting of body shaping garments based on ergonomic principles puts a certain amount of pressure on the body and is more in line with the structural characteristics of the human body. It can tighten body fat. However, after giving birth, the body is still relatively weak and its functions need to be restored naturally.

If you have a caesarean section: You can wear shapewear for 3 months after delivery, and you can wear an abdominal belt before that. The energy consumed in wound healing after caesarean section and endocrine effects will put the body in a high metabolic state. Therefore, it is better to wait for the caesarean section wound to heal before wearing it, which is more conducive to our wound recovery.
