Belly bandits and the like

Hi! Has anyone used one of these (or a cheaper/similar version?). I have had a number of c sections and have an awful puffy tummy with an over hang bit. Most recent child 6 weeks old almost.

I know that diet and exercise will be my greatest friend and I will be back in the gym at 8 weeks gently building up, but just wondered if these things actually do anything? Thank you

I haven't used one but I have heard from friends they're great for 'cleaning up the sag' as one friend put it. It apparantly really does work to prevent post labour sagging. She began using it 1 week after Labour though.

I'm also thinking about purchasing one of these but the belly bandits are sooo expensive.
What ones have you looked into?
I seen there are quite a lot of decent reviews for cheaper ones on Amazon. Not sure what type to buy at all

Hi!
I’ve actually just bought one but like you was reluctant to splash out on a new one. They go so fast on eBay but Facebook marketplace is great and I got mine for £20 basically new. So far so good. Day one it didn’t do up well but now on day 3 it’s doing up much easier. It makes me feel more supported and less fat too!
