When to wear a body shaping garment after childbirth? The best time to shape your body after childbirth

After giving birth, mothers must take in adequate nutrition every day to breastfeed; in order to take care of the baby, they lack free time to exercise. This is really a torture for mothers who want to quickly regain their figure! In addition to diet control, mothers can also use body shapers to help sculpt their body curves.

Postpartum body shaping-starting from weight control during pregnancy

Most mothers often think that weight gain during pregnancy is normal, but in fact, there is a certain amount of weight gain during pregnancy, and both the weight loss period and body shapers have their best times, so mothers should pay attention.

Being overweight before childbirth can also make it difficult to lose weight after childbirth:

Pregnant women who are plump before giving birth will also be plump after giving birth, which will lead to more time spent on body shaping after giving birth. Usually, being overweight during pregnancy is generally caused by poor physical constitution and eating habits. In the first trimester, the weight of pregnant women usually does not increase much; in the second trimester, it is enough to gain about 10 kilograms compared to before pregnancy; as for the third trimester, it is necessary to gain 10 to 15 kilograms compared to before pregnancy. Pregnant women who exceed this standard should pay more attention and eat less sweets and high-fat, high-calorie foods. Eating too much may not only cause the fetus to be too large, but also make the weight loss after giving birth more and more difficult.

Best time to get in shape after childbirth

The best time to shape your body is between 1 month and 6 months after giving birth, because the body's metabolism is better right after giving birth. 6 months after giving birth, the body's metabolism will gradually stabilize, and the fat that has not been metabolized will be more firmly stored in the body. If you start to lose weight at this time, a weight loss stagnation period is likely to occur. Although you can still lose weight in the future, you will get half the result with twice the effort.

When is the right time to wear body shaping clothes?

After giving birth, the uterus will not return to the pelvic cavity immediately, but will still stay near the navel. After 1 week, the uterus will gradually return to the pelvic cavity; after 4 weeks after giving birth, the uterus will return to its original size. For mothers who want to wear body shapers to sculpt their bodies, it is recommended to start wearing them at least 1 week after giving birth, so as to avoid the uterus still shrinking and being squeezed by external forces, which may make mothers feel uncomfortable.

Tips for choosing body shapers

1. Before buying a body shaping garment, be sure to try it on first, with comfort, appropriate tightness, and freedom of movement as the main considerations.

2. Each body shaping product has different functions and wearing methods. You should ask the salesperson for the correct wearing method and precautions.

3. A body shaper is suitable for you if it does not cause skin allergies, itching or rashes when you wear it. Everyone is allergic to different items or materials. What suits her may not be suitable for you. The most accurate estimate is if you do not have allergies when wearing it.

4. It is best to choose a body shaping garment that has after-sales service so that you can make further consultation if you have any questions.

5. A company with a good reputation represents its service concept and product design, which have been recognized by the consumer market for a long time. It is more secure to choose a brand with a good reputation.

6. The vulva should be able to be ventilated to avoid affecting the perineal wound and the discharge of lochia.

How to wash shapewear

1. Wash with clean water below 30℃. It is recommended to wash by hand to avoid damaging the fabric. The clothes must be put in after the detergent is completely dissolved. If the detergent is sprinkled on the clothes, the fluorescent agent will adhere to it, which often causes the clothes to change color. (If you want to use a washing machine to wash, you must put it in a washing net and wash it with a weak water flow. The washing time should not be too long, as the clothes may change color due to the chlorine contained in the tap water.)

2. It is best to choose a weakly alkaline or neutral detergent, and try not to use bleach to avoid damaging the elastic fibers.

3. Do not twist and wring the body shaping garment. Use a large bath towel to press the moisture out of the body shaping garment until it stops dripping and wipe it as dry as possible.

4. After washing, place it in a ventilated place to dry in the shade. No need to dehydrate it to avoid deformation of the clothes.

*The above method is for reference only. The washing methods of body shapers of different brands may be different due to differences in individual materials and cutting methods. When purchasing body shapers, you should ask the salesperson for the correct washing method.
