Weight Loss Abdominal Binder

1. Dong's Weight Loss Abdominal Binder.

Ms. Dong is only in her early 50s, but her waist circumference is 2.5 feet, her hip circumference is 3.1 feet, and she weighs 68 kilograms. Seeing her barrel-like figure, she felt it was really bad. Seeing many people around her trying to lose weight, she also decided to "become fit".

After persisting for four months, her waist circumference decreased to between 2.35 and 2.4 feet, her hip circumference to between 2.75 and 2.8 feet, and her weight decreased to 60 kilograms.

What is the secret to Ms. Dong's successful weight loss? While she certainly controlled her diet and paid attention to exercise, the key factor was her use of that magical weight loss abdominal binder.

The following is an introduction to the materials, production, wearing, and alteration methods of Ms. Dong's slimming abdominal binder:

Purchase a white elastic band approximately 4 feet long and 1 inch wide. Cut it into 8 equal parts. Use a sewing machine to sew the 8 elastic bands together (each band overlapping another by about 1 fen). Buy a 1-foot piece of bleached fabric and measure it together with the elastic band piece. If your hip circumference is 3 feet 1 inch, measure the circumference of the fabric to 3 feet 0.5 fen (this measurement includes the width of the elastic band piece, but does not include sewing allowance. You also need to add the allowance at both ends where it will be sewn together with the elastic band piece, about 0.5 fen at each end, so cut it to 3 feet 1.5 inches). First, sew the top and bottom edges of the fabric to the same height as the elastic band. Then, sew the two ends of the fabric to the two ends of the elastic band. On the reverse side, sew a curve on both sides that approximates the shape of the buttocks (the cutout should be about 5 points smaller than the actual spine circumference). The abdominal binder is now complete. It may be difficult to put the binder on your buttocks; you can wear it over your underwear and pull it up when you need to use the toilet. After wearing it for some time, it may feel loose due to the elastic band loosening or the shrinking of the buttocks and abdomen; in this case, sew it smaller on both sides.

You should use the abdominal binder consistently, both at night and in summer, that is, use it continuously throughout the year to achieve good weight loss results.

2. Multi-headed Abdominal Binder

This is a multi-headed binder. The middle is a single piece of fabric, and the left and right sides have several appropriately sized straps. When binding, first place the entire section at the waist and back, then alternately press the two side straps over the abdomen; secure the last strap with a safety pin.

Some have further improved this multi-headed abdominal binder. Use five 3-4 cm wide elastic bands (0.5-1 cm shorter than the abdominal circumference) as horizontal straps, overlapping them one on top of the other (the overlap between the top and bottom bands should be about 0.5-1 cm). Prepare five more identical elastic bands (length adjusted to the height of your abdomen) as vertical straps. Sew one vertical strap to each end of the horizontal straps, and sew the remaining three to the horizontal straps at equal intervals. Then, on one end of the vertical straps, make six buttonholes at equal intervals along a straight line, and sew six buttons on the other end of the vertical straps accordingly. This completes the abdominal binder. When using it, for convenience, the end with the buttons can be placed on the right or left side according to personal preference.
