Bengkung Belly Binding

Bengkung belly binding is the traditional Malaysian art of wrapping a postpartum women's belly for physical support and to help hasten the recovery process after childbirth.  Used in the first few days up to 6 months postpartum, this belly binding technique uses a long strip of muslin to wrap around around the abdomen from the hips to the rib cage.  The advantage of using the Bengkung belly binding over a shop bought girdle is that it is infinitely adjustable, beautiful and fits most women. The Bengkung belly bind can even be worn if you have had a c-section (worn 2-4 weeks post c-section) as it still gives you all the benefits outlined below. 
Benefits:
  • Supports the internal organs.
  • Assists in abdominal wall retraction and diastasis recti recovery.
  • Reduces the postpartum 'pooch' that many women experience.
  • Encourages good posture.
  • Improves circulation.
  • Reduces water retention.
  • Closes and reshapes the hips and rib cage by providing constant, steady pressure.
  • Decreases postpartum bleeding time.
  • Supports the pelvic floor.
  • Lessens after pains.
  • Encourages spinal realignment to a pre-pregnancy state.
  • Prevents slouching while feeding or holding your child.
