Belly Binding Packages

Bengkung belly binding is a Javanese tradition of wrapping the abdomen from hips to rib cage to provide support and aid postpartum healing.   Because the wrapping process moves upward from hip to rib cage, this technique does not put any downward pressure on the pelvic floor like some binds can and provides a flexible support that can help with diastasis recti, back pain associated with weakened core muscles, and posture support.  

Bengkung belly binding can start as soon 48 hours after a vaginal birth and as early as 2 weeks after a cesarian birth.  While it's especially helpful during the first 6 weeks after delivery while relaxin levels are still high, belly binding has a lot of value through first 6 months postpartum.  The pre-washed cotton bind is worn for 6-12 hours a day, traditionally for 40 days.
