Stomach Wraps?

Hi,

I recently had a LO who was very big resulting in me being quite large in the stomach area (also I was apparently 'all stomach' when carring) so now I still have a a large stomach (I look 8 months a week after birth).

Although I know this will diminish in time as everything moves back into it's original place, I am finding I need some support for the stomach muscles and was wondering if anyone used a wrap/corset/etc to help them.

Partly I want it for support but also to remind my body of the shape I'd like it to return to. I have another LO so it needs to stay in place when I pick them up, change them, climb playground equipment, etc. I also need to loose some weight as I put on a quite a bit but I know that will come with exercise.

As an aside, I know in the Phillipines they do use wraps as standard practice but I'm clueless as to what's available here.

That said, I have the following questions:

Does anyone have any recommendations?
What did they cost?
How long did you use them for?
Where they worth the money or should I try something else (what)?
Are they comfortable and do they stay in place?

Any other helpful tips welcomed.

Thank you.
