Diastasis Recti (DR) occurs during pregnancy when the muscles in the middle of the abdomen separate. For some, DR resolves itself as the linea alba, which connects the two rows of muscle, tights up again. Others require additional support to recover from DR. Regardless of whether abdominal separation has occurred, a compression garment, such as the Motif Postpartum Recovery Garment, is beneficial during healing to support the back and lower body. It helps speed up postpartum recovery time by stabilizing the core and guiding abdominal muscles back together.

How should the garment feel against the body?
Motif Postpartum Recovery Garment provides gentle compression that should hug the body securely. The fit of the garment should not limit mobility, feel painful, or make it hard to breathe. The garment should gently squeeze the abdominal area but should not displace any internal organs.

Which stages of postpartum recovery is the maternity compression garment intended for? 
It can be worn from one week to four months postpartum. 

Can this be worn throughout the night?
This garment is best worn during the day. Speak with a doctor before wearing this product overnight. 

Is this garment similar to a body shaper or abdominal binder?
No, it is an FDA-listed medical device designed to provide health benefits, not just cosmetic benefits. Body shapers squeeze the core to temporarily provide a smooth silhouette. Postpartum garments align the healing postpartum body, helping the core muscle to regain their strength more quickly.
