It has been a traditional and time honoured practice to bind the lower ribs and abdomen of a mother who has just given birth. This is because once a baby is released from the womb, it creates a vacuum in the abdomen that needs to be reduced for the mother to get back into shape. Historically the binding method was perfectly sufficient, but the modern woman needs a more practical an appealing solution.

The Agent Provocateur post natal waist girdle is a reshaping, maxi brief with a thick band of super elastic that applies pressure to the lower ribcage without being constricting.

To achieve the best results, immediately after birth, post natal mothers should wear the reshaping girdle one size up for a period of 2 weeks. For e. g; if your pre pregnant size was Small wear a Medium, if you were a Medium, wear a Large.After the initial 2 weeks is up, you will find that you are able to fit into the next size down, which you may continue to wear for the remainder of your 40 day program.

Dr Motha says "Remember that this program should be complimented with optimum nutrition and appropriate post natal exercise."

The girdle has been designed to flatter the waistline and bottom and has detachable suspender straps as we see no reason why a woman shouldn't be sexy after giving birth.

Please indicate your pre pregnant size in your customer comments.
