Has anyone used this for separated abs? If so, is 11 months post-partum too late to use a binder for that purpose?

This is not the right thing for it. This is a binder and you need an abdominal splint along with a lifestyle change to bring your abs back together. This definitely won't work.

You don't need the extra discs. Before I started I read reviews and ppl were complaining that there the abs disc was extra. I was annoyed. BUT now that I'm on month 2 I realized you don't need to do extra abs because every DVD you get works abs in through all of the core exercises. I've found p90x3 different from p90x and Insanity in that my entire core is getting much much tighter - chest, sides, stomach... And it broke up and loosened my lower back in a very natural, healthy way. So you really don't need to do a separate abs program - you'll get nice abs from the 16 DVDs.

Correct. I have managed to get mine to make a small part that HAD to be ABS for tempurature reasons. I printed into a puddle of super glue ( a trick I found on the internet) and it worked, but it took a few tries. Lots of people have added a heated bed to their simples, and they print ABS just fine.

I used it with regular diapers and it held 2 regular sized bags (over 40 total) of newborn diapers. I was not impressed with the structural integrity and found it to be very flimsy. I did not keep the item.

I too was weary of buying slims but then my last 2 full size 5.25" removables lasted 2+ years and that's was it. Feels like none are sturdy these days. But if you want a slot, not too many choices, I hate the manual pop-out trays. My UJ-265 still young at 3 months.

You can and should wear the binder while working out for a while. Make sure to wear a tank under it to protect your skin.

Yes, I used it for my newborn with the insert. Now at 8 months were still using. I think she'll be out of it by a year. I am very happy with my purchase.

I used this until my kids were around 12 weeks, but they could have used it longer based on size. I generally transition to cribs around that time.

My baby is 45. I strained my fused back. This helps me maintain correct posture. Cheap control garments roll down. Spanx make me feel a downward pulling in.my back. This has vertical reinforcement. I just went back to Amazon.com to order a spare one. I am sitting down as I type this, and it is not causing me any discomfort and is not rolling. Worth every penny.

Yes, it's working for me. I run everyday and was looking for items to help target my midsection. I read the other customer reviews and decided to try it. The belt is extremely well made. None of the seams or velcro are coming loose, and I've been using it each day for a few months. And it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Running, when wearing the belt, my midsection begins to sweat before any other area. The belt absorbs all of the sweat, it doesn't drip or soak through. Also, it dries very quickly. I get better results wearing the Ab Belt versus not. Hope that helps.

I am using it for my newborn...now almost 3 mo. I originally used it in the convert able car seat, since we did not have an infant seat. He is nearly 16 lbs now, and it us getting a but snug. Also, I was thinking of altering my original post to add that the top and bottom should be able to be adjustable , since you can take them apart with Velcro. However, if you do try to separate the top from the bottom and extend the length, the harsh part of the Velcro goes against the baby's back.

Yes! I used it both wrapped behind and also cuddling it in front. I'm a little over 38 weeks now and I've abandoned the pillow. It takes too much effort to turn over which needs to happen very often.

Hi! I use bum genius organic all in one. These inserts are great. They seem big initially. U cant place it between the two inner linings but u can lay it on top and the diaper can contain it. Its pretty much the diameter of the entire diaper and is a touch longer but I prefer that because sometimes the snaps on the diaper roll in and pushes on babys belly so this is a nice cushion. I made it work and it keeps baby dry at night. A little bulk y for daytime use though.

I would suggest buying another type of maternity belt. This one is for the typical pregnant belly. I have a similar problem with already having a larger belly to begin with and this did nothing but pinch, bunch, and roll. It offered very little support that I needed. I would suggest the MaternaBelt - Stretch (Maternity Support Belt). The sling in the front is much larger and may offer more support for your growing belly. I would also wait to get this until your at least 6 months along.

You can use different sized binders. There is a guide so the edges would be even. I love it and used it to make over 100 cookbooks for our family reunion.

I used mine post surgery, but I will say that even if you are a month out it will help! I've given birth 5 times, and " binding" is big in my culture after birth, I wish I had this then! It's a great product because you can tighten and loosen it so easily ad you need through out your day/situation. Good luck!

I loved this insert for my daughter! I purchased it when she was a few weeks and she's 6 months old now and we still use it. It is really absorbent, I use it in a pocket diaper and also with a cover in a pinch.
