2. Prepare two or three pieces of white gauze with a width of about 30---40 cm and a length of 12 and a half circles around the abdomen. After giving birth, the abdominal belt should be tightly tied to prevent the internal organs from sagging. Sagging internal organs will lead to women's diseases, as well as a protruding lower abdomen and an unsightly body shape. Binding the abdominal band can also improve the visible condition of the lower abdomen before childbirth. The girdle cannot be replaced by regular corsets and girdles.
