A woman’s body is a miraculous thing, nine months (give or take) of growing and supporting, stretching as it holds the next generation and then in the 6 weeks post birth, whatever the method of delivery it undergoes an amazing transformation of healing. I’m not sure that we really appreciate how amazing that whole process is, how quick we recover from the strain on our bodies.

I found out too late about the benefits of Belly Wrapping and didn’t have a chance to use one post-partum with Dexter. I had no idea about them at the time and I always took the changes to my body as a given, something that I got in exchange for being a mum but Belly Wrapping has been practiced for centuries as a way of supporting the natural healing process and can make a real difference in helping you spring back to your pre-pregnancy shape.

I was asked recently to review the market-leading wraps from Vespa & The Ladybird. Wraps can be worn at any time but to get the most benefit, wrapping should be practiced from 24-48 hours after birth so instead of popping this one on myself I gave the wrap to a friend who has a very new bub. I’m a little later with this review than I’d like to be, Lyn, the friend I gave the wrap to has had a nasty bout of mastitis, so I’ve left her alone. Bless her though, she’s feeling like crap but still took the time to email me her thoughts and she has only good things to say about the wrap.
Lyn was 3 weeks post-partum when she first started wearing it but she has noticed a difference, especially in her posture, she was slumping while feeding and the wrap has really helped to support her lower back. It took a little longer than she thought to get used to wearing it but really likes how it makes her feel, firming her stomach and making her feel slimmer and more toned. Sounds good to me!

Kim Vespa, the brains behind this Melbourne based sensation, created the brand back in 2009 to make belly wraps accessible and affordable to the Australian market and she’s succeeded with the original wrap retailing at under $50 and the plush, bamboo lined wrap only $62.95 they’re not too hard on the wallet and can even be claimed through some private health insurers under the medical compression garment classification. With health premiums seeming to be in an ever upwards spiral, any extra benefit you can claim is good news.

The Vespa & the Ladybird store also stocks a range of high quality products hand picked by Kim for mums and mums-to-be. Thanks to Kim and the team at Vespa & The Ladybird I have a Plush Wrap to give away. Valued at $62.95, this would make a great present for any new mums, mums-to-be or even as abdominal/lower back support for anyone experiencing troubles with back pain.
