HipSlimmer Corset - - S

I gave birth 12 weeks ago. I measured my hips after I gave birth and they were 39 inches around. For the 8 weeks postpartum I wore either this OR the hip shrinx (I found the hip shrinx worked better during the day because I could walk - but I used this at night - well what night I had with a newborn :-)). Today, I am back in my pre-pregnancy skinny jeans (size 28) and my hips are 35 inches around. They are not tight - they fit exactly the same. So that's a loss of 4 inches. I am exercising and breastfeeding but that isn't going to slim your hips bones. My mom and my sister both wear larger pants sizes after giving birth. I am not smaller after birth (I think that's just a fantasy because you can't shrink your skeleton) but I am exactly the same size I was before I was pregnant and my pants fit exactly the same way they did 10 months ago.So physically I noticed a few things. After birth my hips were kind of tipped out a bit and due to this they are back to straight and narrow. That said, this is NOT the most comfortable thing in the world. It took a big effort to get me in this and my husband had to assist with it. I couldn't walk around with this and I would typically only wear it for 2 -4 hours at a time because what woman has a normal night's sleep after giving birth to a baby? So I would put it on, get a tad bit of sleep and then get up to feed the bundle. Then I would put the hip shrinx on.It would hurt a bit. The other thing was I had numbness in my leg because of the epidural. This did not help that. It's all gone now and I just dealt with it but it was not a comfortable 8 weeks. I could feel this working, so it just says that it does work. I would use this to shrink the hips and the hip shrinx to hold them in place.If I have another kid, I am going to use this again. It's worth the investment in the time and effort because I don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe. Did I like wearing this? No. It was miserable and I often felt it was some sort of medieval torture device. But it's a small, small period of your life and it's over quickly. Would I give this as a baby shower gift? Oh heck no. Some of my friends don't seem to care about their hips after the birth. But I guess that if you are reading this- you do. And you should just invest in it and suck it up for 8 weeks. You won't regret it.

hard and hurts but it works or at least i think so.

This product worked really well for me. After my first baby, even when I lost the pregnancy weight, I couldn't close half of my pants because my hips were still wide. So after my second baby, I decided to use this corset. I wasn't able to wear it TOO much since the effective window is the hardest with a newborn. I probably ended up wearing it between 4-8 hours a day (only at night). It worked extremely well. I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight and all the pants that couldn't close before (at the same weight) now close fine. I DID end up using a small, even though according to the size chart I would have been a medium. The medium would not have worked as well at all.

As a physical therapist the hip corset make lot of sense. I used it for vanity and it worked. I had a c-section, I waited about 2 and a half weeks before I started using it, about 2-4 hours at night. I didn't need my husband to tighten the laces for me, it wasn't a problem to do it myself. Soon enough I tightened the medium size all the way (I was size 8 prepregnancy) so I went on and bought the small. I stopped using it after few weeks when I had discomfort in my pelvic (my SI joint), and I understood that what I accomplished was enough. I can squeeze in my old pants (yey), they still don't fit because of the love handles I need to shed, but I'm thrilled to get my hips back!I gave both (medium and small) to a friend who just had a baby, she loves it too. After a week of use you can see the results on her.

Just like other reviews said, this is not comfortable. However, it WORKS!! I started to wear it 2 months after I give birth and I wear it every night about 4 hours. After 2 months wearing it, even though I still have 15 lb need to lose, my hip size come back to my pre-pregnancy size! I wish it could be a bit more comfortable though....

The hipslimmer corset is amazing I love it!!

I think it worked!

My husband bought this for me after I gave birth. I found this product gets loose fairly easily. It requires constant tightening. I even had my husband tightening for me, but it still got loose after a few minutes. The effect wasn't as great as others described, too.
