Belly Binders

Bengkung belly binding is the art of wrapping a postpartum women's belly for physical support and to help hasten the recovery process after childbirth. This belly binding technique uses a long strip of cloth to wrap around around the abdomen from the hips to the ribcage.

Care for your incredible postpartum body with this ancient traditional Malaysian practice utilizing the pressure of bound fabric to pull in the hips and belly.
My Binds are made of 100% natural, unbleached cotton muslin, hand-dyed with fiber reactive dyes.

Binders are 9" wide and 16-18 yds long.

*** For finished edges,you have 2 options

1. Raw edges without serging - Raw edges with a slight fray. Muslin is a woven fabric, and woven will naturally fray. The Binder will be pre-washed but a few stray threads may appear when washed and dried again - these are easily cut or pulled off, not to worry! No need to wash these often anyway. 

2. Serged Edges - I reinforce the edge with a lovely serged hem to keep the edge from fraying with continuous washing & drying. 

 

How to use:

- wrap for minimum 8 hours morning, day, night or overnight
- how long? The first 40 days for optimum results
