Frida Mom C-Section Hot & Cold Therapy Belly Binder, C-Section Recovery Must Have Band, Incision Protector, for Post-Op and Swelling

Must have for postpartum and c section. I was really questioning this due to the cost but so glad I got it. I haven’t heated the packs but the ice is really soothing and not that cold. The material is soft and comfortable.

I don't even use the hot/cold feature and I still give this 5 stars. I'm sure the hot/cold is great too. It is a fantastic seatbelt guard when you have had a c section.

Doesn’t get tight enough, really only protects the c section from bumping into things and doesn’t really support anything

Second time c section mama here and I honestly didn’t know about this my first time around, it would’ve been SO convenient because baby boy would just stomp and mash all over me. But I didn’t really use it all that much, it’s very easy to use, and extremely adjustable so it can be as loose or tight as you want/need. It can be used hot or cold. Even though I didn’t really use it, I definitely will be keeping it for period cramp relief in the future.I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I didn’t really need it more than twice, I really only used it up until my stitches got removed. So for about 1-2 weeks. So definitely consider this if you think you won’t need it: it’s one of those things that isn’t a NEED, But is nice to have

After my C-Section, I felt like I needed additional support while I was healing in order to be able to do basic light-duty things around the house without extra pain (especially back pain, since it felt like my back muscles were trying to compensate for a weaker abdomen). This made picking up the baby, getting up wash bottles, and shuffling around the house doable and helped empower me to (slowly, gently) get back to day-to-day life again. The fact that I could put the cold packs on the front or back (or both!) was great when I needed some extra TLC. Since this was a helpful product for me, I sent one to my sister-in-law as soon as I heard she was having an unexpected C-section after a difficult induction. If I have another baby, I'll definitely get another. The only reason that this isn't five stars is that I wish it had been a little bit bigger to cover a larger area.

I had a c-section, it was my second one. I wish I had this on the first go-around. You can wear it 24/7 and have absolute ease in your day wearing it. You can use hot or cold packs. And adjust to any size. With the ability to have the packs on the front and the back it would be a great use for recovery and after post partum useMy 4 year old had a belly ache and I used this on her belly with a warm pack also! Definitely worth the cost.

My daughter recently had to have an emergency c-section. She loved that i had this delivered to her home so she could start using immediately. It helps with cold and heat packs but also protector is the belly from being bumped. She reports that she used it constantly.

I purchased this for my c-section recovery and was super disappointed, especially considering its price. The heat and cold packs did not transfer well enough to make a difference and the positioning of the belt is awkward and didn't provide any pressure on the incision which is what I needed for relief. Simply did not receive the type of support I hoped for with this product and barely used it. Sadly was unable to return it because I missed the deadline. I wound up purchasing belly binder shorts from another company and that worked far better for me.
