Abdominal support is an elastic support that wraps around the abdomen to provide compression and light stability. The pressure is distributed around the torso and can reduce tension in the abdominal wall, provide even support to the lower back and create a safer feeling in movement and breathing.

Choose a soft, flexible abdominal belt with even compression and clear adjustability. A slightly higher model provides good coverage over both the lower and upper abdomen. Combine with gradual core training and follow advice from your healthcare provider in case of pain or uncertainty.

Always follow the instructions of your surgeon or physical therapist. Generally, abdominal support is worn during the day during the period when the abdominal wall and tissue need relief and is removed for rest and skin care. Increase the time without support as strength and comfort improve.

Yes. Girdle, abdominal belt, abdominal support and sometimes abdominal belt refer to support that provides compression and stability around the abdomen.

Each product has a unique size guide on the product page that clearly shows how and where to take your measurements for that particular model. As fit and measurement points may differ between different models, it is important to always follow the size guide for the specific product.

Most supports can be hand washed at 30 degrees and should then be air dried. It is important to close the Velcro straps before washing to reduce wear. Exact washing instructions can always be found on the respective product page and on the information sheet that comes with the packaging.
