We shall begin with some information about the product from the company's website:

• 12% Polyester, 48% Nylon, 20% Bamboo Charcoal, 20% Rubber
• BRING SEXY BACK: Getting back that tight butt and flat belly after giving birth can be difficult. That¡¦s why we made sure this unique belly band helps you bring sexy back with its revolutionary design and 2 extra compression belts so you can easily adjust to the level of pressure you¡¦re comfortable with. Its 3-step compression fastening technology heals and reshapes your hips, waist and tummy, keeping it secure and comfortably tight so you get to your desired shape quicker.
• NANO-BAMBOO HEALING: Worried it will feel and smell like a saunas? Each fiber contains 20% nano-bamboo charcoal, which is known for its powerful anti-odor and antibacterial properties. This prevents bacteria and odor buildup when you¡¦re wearing it. This also makes the bamboo fibers breathable, soft and non-irritating, so you stay cool, dry and supported.
• ACCELERATE YOUR RECOVERY: You want to see results fast, we get that. That¡¦s why our mommy designers carefully designed this belly band so you can wear it right after birth when the ¡§relaxin¡¨ hormone is still in your body. Its far-infrared technology boosts blood circulation. Supports your back and offers medical-grade compression to your wound area to speed up recovery of your uterus, pelvis, belly and back.
• FLAUNT IT ALL DAY, EVERY DAY: Designed specifically to smooth out your silhouette so you can look slimmer in clothing. It¡¦s comfortably tight and incredibly stretchy that you can wear it all day, every day. Unlike other belly bands, it has a rigid yet flexible material that bends, twists and moves with your body. And it won¡¦t ride upÿ ever.
• WORRY-FREE MAINTENANCE: Its high quality and durable construction maintains its shape, wash after wash. You can toss it in the washing machine in a laundry bag for an easy clean without worrying about damaging it. Shrinkage during washing and drying is minimal. This postpartum recovery and support belly band is made to be resilient, wear after wear. Plus, it comes in different sizes that are easy to choose from, helping you save money by buying the product that is just right for you.

As for my thoughts? As a new mom my body has gone through a lot of changes recently, and it is important to me to get back to feeling like myself, so a product like this is a perfect solution.  It offers a ton of support while still being super comfortable.  It gives my back a lot of relief and helps with my posture.  I have very very sensitive skin, but it does not irritate me which I was worried it might.  It breathes well and the velcro is strong and holds everything in place, no problem.  I put it in a lingerie bag to wash it every few days and it has stayed nice and held its shape well. 

I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
