Hi did any of you use an abdominal binder after surgery? If so, what ones? Did it rub against the incisions?

I have some but don't think I would like something so tight against my stomach and incisions. The ones I have are a tank top with the binder in the middle and got them from target and Ross. They are Maidenform brand.

i wear a Sweet Nothings cami support thing from Walmart. works pretty good. esp helps keep everything still and gives the biggest incision the support it needs to not hurt at all

I used the binder to protect my stomach bc I have 2 big dogs that sometimes jump on me. It also helped my left incision site when it was really sore from over doing it.

I tried to use the one provided at the hospital but I had some sort of reaction to it. I had an itchy rash from bra line to belly button. I even tried using it over my shirt, no go. Which was too bad, I really wanted the extra support.

I have one from the hospital and I never take it off! It supports my incisions

I plan on using one (my surgery date will be sometime in November). I found a one in the maternity section of target called belly band, that has lycra for support. I used one 6 years ago when I had a vertical hysterectomy and couldn't live without it. This time I won't use such an "industrial" one since I won't have a 6 inch incision, thank the lord! It was a lifesaver for getting in and out of bed at home and standing up straight.

I ended up ordering the

Gabrialla Breathable Elastic Abdominal Binder for Women (9" Wide)

It was only $28 on amazon. I will see how it does. Thanks everyone!
