Is the LP Abdominal Binder Suitable for Postpartum Recovery?

The support and compression it provides align the abdomen, helps the abdominal organs bounce back to their pre-pregnancy shape, which can also help with floppy and loose skin, and provide light compression to shrink the uterus back to its original shape
