I'm wearing mine now (close to 3 wks pp) but I'll keep on for a bit, then eventually switch to only C-Panty, which also work similarly, but are easier to wear.
I would love if they helped weight-wise, but I'm mostly wearing for comfort right now and mobility.
Until they took everything off and just left the bare scar. So about 3 weeks. It just rubbed it after that. If I would have known about the scar away strips then I would probably have worn it longer.
Mine was an emergency cesarean so I literally had no clue about any of these things afterwards and still don't ! I never wore one but all seems to be well and good now. I'm back in the gym and riding my horses just like before
Probably only a week. I should have worn it longer though. It was really painful for me. I stopped when I went home. (I was in the hospital for almost a week).
I didn't have one the first time around but I'm definitely getting one next time around. We're trying for a VBAC but I want to be prepared in case of repeat cesarean.
I wore mine constantly, minus sleeping time, for 6 weeks. After that I wore it if I knew I'd be doing a a lot of moving for about another 2-3 weeks.
24 hours after my c-section they had to get me a smaller size, because the one they put on me post op was majorly loose! At the smallest velcro setting it was 2-3 inches away from my body while I was laying down.

I think I wore it for 3 weeks.

Maybe two weeks. I lost weight in that area quickly so it didn't do much after that because it didn't fit right.

I have had 4 csections and never wore one. I tried it but didn't like it.

This time around maybe 2 weeks?
I just wear spanx now to help with the jiggle ?.
When I lose more weight I'll put on my bellefit corset specifically for csection recovery.

Belly Bandit is what I have.
I also ordered some Bellefits, but I'm not wearing them till I don't mind things touching my incision.
