I bought this for my sister. This is her first baby. I see the difference in her appearance. My niece is 3 weeks old and already my sister has lost a few inches from her waistline!! Also, from the moment she put it on, the compression helped with her posture and the minor pain/discomfort one has after labor. I don't have children but thanks to my sister's experience and the one's I've read before I made the purchase, I'll be the next one to try it and give another 5 stars
