Heavy Lifter

Belly Band

Extra support for when you’re carrying the most (or recovering from it). This compression belly band can be used in two ways: In pregnancy it wraps under and around your belly to help your body carry the additional weight of the baby bump, taking pressure off your lower abdomen and back. In postpartum, it can provide targeted compression to reduce swelling, aiding stability and supporting the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor as they recover. 

WHEN YOU'LL NEED IT

Can be worn any time during pregnancy or postpartum, but will be particularly helpful in the third trimester (when you’re carrying the most weight) and early postpartum (when the bulk of recovery is happening).

HOW TO USE IT

Wrap the wide velcro band around your waist and fasten with the velcro panel. It should be firm, but not tight. Then, pull open the smaller bands then stretch and fasten each under your bump. For postpartum, pull the smaller bands around the middle of your waist for added compression. Wear over underwear and under or over clothes (whatever is most comfortable).

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

On the days of pregnancy that you’ve got to be on your feet but your hips and back are really feeling it, this belly band will be heaven sent. In postpartum, compression therapy is so beneficial for your abdominal and pelvic floor recovery.

Comes in a zip-lock bag.

FAQ

I’m pregnant, how does Heavy Lifter work?

As your body grows in pregnancy, Heavy Lifter can be a big help to even out the load and take some of the pressure off your lower abdomen and back, as well as addressing round ligament pain and sciatica pain. Simply wrap it around your hips and wear for a few hours at a time when you’re moving about. As your body grows, you can change the tightness and length of the belt to what feels good for you.

I’m postpartum, hows does Heavy Lifter work?

Heavy Lifter can support your postpartum body by operating as a "second skin", helping separated abdomen muscles feel held together after stretching. It can also aid with C-section post operation recovery by protecting the incision site, reducing tenderness and providing security when moving.

Is it safe to wear with a Caesarean scar?

Yes.

How long should I be wearing Heavy Lifter at a time?

General guidelines advise wearing the band for no more than 2-3 hours at a time. You can wear for a more extended time if approved by your health care provider.

Do I need to get this checked by my physio?

If you are looking to address concerns, we always recommend talking to a relevant healthcare provider.
