Due to the unique changing size and shape a women’s body goes through during and after pregnancy, these guideline will help you choose the best fit for your AbdoMend™ Bikini belt and Hem It In support binder. The AbdoMend™ belts and binders are designed with 6 to 9 inches of adjustability to help you transition back to your unique pre-pregnancy shape.


Sizing Chart
Size Belly measurement* Approx. weight
Petite 24” - 32” 105 -125
Small 32” - 38” 130-145
Medium 38” - 46” 150-170
Large 46” - 52” 170-185
Voluptuous 52” - 56” 185 - 210

*Measure around your belly; 2” below your belly button at 8th-9th Month of pregnancy.

The chart above is based on an average height of 5'6". Please adjust to your needs.

At 9th months Subtract 3-5” for POST Birth Guesstimate of size.

Pregnancy Support sizing guideline: If needing support starting at your 6th or 7th month, consider that you will be increasing your measurement by 3 to 5 inches between your 8th and 9th month. Take your measurement 2 inches below your belly button. Add 3 to 5 inches to your measurement for the best approximate size.

Note: Please be aware that your bikini belt may stretch while being worn during pregnancy. Continue using the belt after delivery, whether vaginally or by caesarean. If you need to shrink the Recovery belt (not the Support Strap) wash in hot water, and/ or dry on high if you need further shrinkage. The best support immediately after a vaginal birth is with our Hem-It-In Belt which has a stronger inner elastic system. This belt may also be used for additional support 3 weeks after a C-Section.

Scheduled C-Section sizing guideline:
The best time to measure is while you are 8 months pregnant. This measurement will be the closest size to fit after your delivery. If you’re very close to your due date, a general guideline to follow is; subtract 3 to 5 inches (8cm-13cm) from your belly measurement.

Unscheduled C-Section sizing guideline:
If you find yourself needing our C-Section Bikini Belt for an unplanned caesarean, simply measure around your tummy; 2 inches (5cm) below your belly button. Your body will be going through many changes as you may experience, swelling and fluid build up from your caesarean birth.

Your AbdoMend™ Recovery belts are designed with 6 to 9 inches of adjustability to help you transition through your recovery and back to your unique pre-pregnancy shape.

 

Weight, Height and type of body (larger hips vs breasts) Must be taken into account.
