Postpartum Support Belt, Norseli

Norseli redefines the standard of postnatal belts through a premium design inspired by modern medical compression techniques and the ergonomic principles used in contemporary corsetry. The result is a high-performance postnatal belt, created for mothers (and beyond) who seek efficient recovery, proper support, and a superior level of comfort.

This elastic abdominal belt is recommended both for the postnatal period and for post-abdominal surgery recovery, being classified as a medical device. It actively supports the restoration of tone and stability in the abdominal and lumbar areas, while also providing safety and freedom of movement.

How does the Norseli postnatal belt work?

After childbirth, the body goes through a period in which ligaments and tissues are softer and more flexible due to relaxin, a hormone temporarily present in the mother’s body. The Norseli belt takes advantage of this window through targeted and uniform compression, helping to:

• bring the muscles back into their correct position

• stabilize the torso and lumbar area

• accelerate the natural process of abdominal retraction.

In a postoperative context, the belt helps reduce pain, allows a faster return to mobility, and supports the gradual increase of physical activity.

Features:

• Developed based on in-depth research, serving as an essential tool in postnatal and postoperative recovery

• High, constant, and uniform compression without affecting breathing or circulation

• Made from a thin, breathable, and discreet material, invisible under clothing

• Ergonomic design with integrated lumbar support

• Incorporates four flexible steel stays for superior stabilization and to prevent rolling or wrinkling

• Adjustable Velcro closure system for personalized fit as the body recovers

• High-performance elastic material with excellent adaptability to the body

• Versatile design, suitable for different anatomies and clinical needs

• Suitable after both natural birth and cesarean section

Key benefits:

• Helps reduce abdominal volume and achieve a more toned appearance

• Supports the muscles of the abdomen, back, and pelvis

• Improves posture, including during breastfeeding

• Provides enhanced comfort after a cesarean section and reduces pressure on the incision area

• Supports fluid drainage through targeted compression

• Encourages muscle memory and natural body reshaping

• Effective in cases of diastasis recti

• Reduces lower back pain and provides additional trunk stability

Tip: For first use, it is recommended to apply the belt while lying on your back.

Choosing the right size

For correct and effective fitting, the Norseli postnatal belt is generally chosen in the same size you wore before pregnancy, provided you did not gain more than 20 kg during pregnancy.

If weight gain exceeded 20 kg, it is recommended to choose a larger size to ensure comfort, proper compression, and optimal adaptation during the recovery period.

How long should the Norseli belt be worn?

For visible and effective results, the belt should be worn consistently for 4–6 weeks after childbirth.

Recommendations

• The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics recommends postnatal belts as an effective, simple, and non-pharmacological solution for relieving pain after cesarean section

• After natural birth, the belt can be used from the first days

• After cesarean section, use is recommended 7–10 days postoperatively

• Initially, the belt should be fastened by a few centimetres, then gradually adjusted as the abdomen retracts
