We are trying to increase exposure of our products to educate the public about the challenges women face in c section recovery.
The time after birth should be spent with the baby and under minimal stress. Our products helps make that a reality for the cesarean mom.
Our most supportive comment came from Neal McDonough seen on the Desperate Housewives show.
His wife had just had a cesarean 3 days before, he said "this is the best and most important product here."
For a spouse or person recovering from surgery, the reality of pain and managing it is critical.
Constance Marie of the George Lopez show, also knows the importance of wrapping the abdomen post birth and was enthusiastic about the binder.
There were many other celebrities who enjoyed the binders as they all understand the value of recovering faster after c section or vaginal delivery.
Enjoy the photos, and thanks to everyone who showed interest in our product.

C Section Recovery Thank You Notes
January 15, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
The unsought inspiration for the Abdomend™ c section recovery belts was my own emergency cesarean. Starting and running the business of making and selling them has been more work than I ever imagined. Some of you probably know just what hard work it is to begin a business and then run it yourself, many times I feel completely overwhelmed.
So when I hear from women who have received grateful benefit from wearing the belts and following the recovery, it makes it worthwhile. Here’s one we received recently with a picture of Pia and her beautiful newborn baby.
It gives me so much satisfaction to hear from women like Pia, so please if you have benefited from our c section recovery products, I’d love to hear from you, it really does mean a lot to me.
"I cannot even begin to tell you how much the C-Section Recovery Belt has helped me recover from my c-section last month! I wore the belt during the last 2 months of my pregnancy as well and it helped so much in lessening back pain and soreness in my pelvic and tummy areas.
I wore it two days after my c-section and it made a HUGE difference in my recovery! The extra support that the belts provided was awesome. I was able to stand, walk, and get up from bed with a significantly less amount of pain and fear of ripping my stitches apart – which I really needed since I have a 3-year old to look after too. Plus, the material is soft, washable, and non-irritating so it was comfortable to wear it almost 24 hours a day. At 2 1/2 weeks post-partum, the belt was getting too big for me, despite washing it in hot water to shrink it down so I just moved on to the Hem-It-In Belt.
Thank you for coming up with this product… it really is the key to a better recovery from a c-section! Your belts do not disappoint and I will be recommending this to friends who will be giving birth!"

C Section Support Belts & Belly Binding
October 9, 2009 by · 1 Comment
Binding is an ancient tool for C Section birth and post partum abdominal support. Compression brings fibers together, reduces swelling and tearing and at the same time offers some protection for the incision. Soft abdominal binders help support the changing body through pregnancy, vaginal delivery & Cesarean Section recovery.
You deserve support and protection at this special time, but the ancient healing art of binding is less well known today as i discovered after my own emergency c section. During pregnancy abdominal binders support the weight of the baby and the body, and reduces the load on the skin and stretched out abdominal muscles. If there isn’t enough support or silica/elastic properties to the skin, stretch marks can happen.
Cesarean Section birth requires special recovery care, as surgery is stressful,painful and now a new baby requires your loving attention. Binding will reduce your pain and scar, and make it easier to get out of bed.
Binding will protect and support your incision before rolling over to get out of bed. Compression supports your abdomen so it doesn’t feel like your insides are going to fall out, and will reduce scar tissue. Many women do not realize that The doctor cut into 6 layers inside the abdomen, and then stretched open the muscles. With binding you avoid the feeling of feeling unsupported, vulnerable to gravity and afraid to move.
It is the fascia that surrounds the muscles which is cut, and then the 6 layers are sutured (sewn) back. For any birth, the uterus and intestines also benefit from support, as it shrinks and moves back into place.
Of course do not do anything that is painful, and please be mindful to not wrap yourself too tightly. It is about support, not strangulation or cutting off blood supply. Being gentle and easy with yourself during these first months will help you heal better for later on, when life gets busier.
Binding also supports organs to go back to their original size and location.
Bladder, intestinal and reproductive complications can arise from a c-section or other abdominal surgeries. The support of binding means less tearing, which means less scar tissue, inside and out. Less scar tissue means more comfort and fewer secondary complications and a better looking scar. With belly binding you can avoid the tearing and infections that lead to possible abdominal adhesions, painful periods, and a lumpy scar.
Our uniquely designed C Section Bikini Belt does not contain elastic making it perfect for immediate use after c section birth or other abdominal surgery. We designed it to be as adjustable as possible to allow you to find the perfect binding pressure and adjust it as you heal. We then came up with the detachable support strap, which does contain elastic, for another level of fully adjustable support, font or back.
The Hem It In Belt is great for post vaginal delivery, laparoscopic abdominal surgery, or about 2 weeks after the cesarean, when you want more compression and support. The cotton covered elastic provides firm support when you are getting back to your daily routine, or just going to the car with baby. After incising through the 6 layers,our muscles were stretched open to get the baby out, so holding them close is a good thing.
Let AbdoMend™ bring you back to your sexy shape.
