Belly Binding vs. Compression
This week, motherhood and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey and pelvic floor physical therapist and women’s health expert Dr. Marcy Crouch are chatting about the difference between belly binding and compression, and exactly what you need to look for when shopping for pregnancy and postpartum support-wear.
We know how important it is to be comfortable when you are pregnant and in the postpartum period. There are a few questions Dr. Marcy recommends asking yourself before making any purchases:
Is there a Perineal Area
Are they for Pregnancy or Postpartum (because they should fit accordingly)
Does it provide upward compression?
Not all pregnancy and postpartum leggings are created equal, and we want you to know what to look for to support your body in the best way possible while you are pregnant or recovering from birth!
