Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
So easy to use, amazing product - I lost 10cm from my waist in the first two weeks!!!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It doesn't make my life easier as a mum but the Belly Bandit BFF Belly Band helped with my posture after the birth of my baby.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Maybe a little cheaper in price, as this is rather expensive which may put people off trying it but have to say is worth every penny.
Tested by mum Jennifer Brockley for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
It gave me a feeling of security wearing the Belly Bandit BFF Belly Band because I was feeling very fragile and it pulled me together and gave me strength where my muscles seemed tired after giving birth. It’s also incredibly comfortable which I wasn't expecting!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
I was able to bend and lift more easily just after giving birth which with a 21-month-old son and a new baby was key.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I'd make the Belly Bandit BFF Belly Band slightly wider, I found that I had to readjust mine because it was folding but having said that the company made it very clear in their introductory email that I was able to send it back if it wasn’t the right size, so I know I could have checked with them and got a different one had I wanted to. They said that as it’s hard to judge your size post birth that they want people to have the right product for their money.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
Really like this Belly Bandit BFF Belly Band. I've tried others, but they would cut into me and be extremely uncomfortable when sitting. This one is surprisingly comfortable to wear! A huge plus of the BFF are the dual velcro panels, you can cinch your lower tummy tighter than your upper belly since that's where you need the most help postpartum.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
The material is soft and doesn't show under loose tops! It has made my tummy flatter and along with stretch mark oil, I'm getting into better shape!
