After trying on LOTS of maternity belly support belts in Akachan Honpo, here are my Top 3! I was surprised I actually fit into the Japanese belts, but some of them have quite long straps which is good. I had muscle separation from my first pregnancy, so needing extra support with this second baby:)
Watch to the end of the video below to see the belt that I bought, including photos of me wearing it today at work:)!

Hi. I’m a registered nurse midwife in Japan. Your blog is pretty interesting for me. I don’t know where you are from, but you seem to like Japanese life 🙂
Thanks Misaki! xx Kate
Hello Kate, could you recommend any Japanese brand of postpartum girdles for c section? I do think Japanese can make quality ones, but I find no info online. Thank you!
