The 'Taut' Belly Wrap

Submitted by Meg Wilson on December 20, 2007 - 16:46.

Brooke Burke is saying the secret to her flat tummy is a belly wrap product she's selling called Taut. She has had three children and a fourth one is on the way. She recently opened an online store Baboosh Baby to sell Tauts and other products. She told People Magazine, "You pull it super tight and Velcro it. It feels good for all of that baby skin. I swear by it."

The Tauts sell for $56 and $65. There is a warning on the website that these should never be worn during pregnancy, nor should they be worn after cesarean delivery. They recommend wearing them for 40 days after a normal childbirth.

Now is that really the secret to her slim waist after three babies? There's no proof that we know of that a girdle-like product can slim the waistline except of course when you are wearing it. But similar products to Tauts have been selling on Amazon for years. Above is the Squeem Waist Cincher which looks a lot like the Taut, though not so frilly, and costs $28.95.

Can you use this even if you were never pregnant? If you just have a big stomach?

Postpartum Girdles

I have been wearing one of these since I gave birth five days ago. I started out with 2XL and I'm already down to the XL (I got different sizes to wear as my waist goes down). They don't make you lose weight, but they do help your stomach muscles and skin go back to normal faster, thus resulting in a smaller waist line. This is my third child, so I needed all the help I can get. So far, it's working. I am just a little concerned that if it's too tight, it could cause high blood pressure....will take off if I start to feel funny....

It really works

I've used a version of the taut and it definitely works. I'd say you can use it about a few days after normal childbirth. I don't know about a safe period of time after a c-section. But believe me - it really works in tightening your skin - I still don't know how - but it does.

Tauts Wrap

I'm using a Tauts I purchased from Babooshbaby.com. I had a c-section ( 9lbs 8 ounces, no other way he was coming out) and my Doctor approved it. Started wearing it as soon as I came home from the hospital.

Belly binding is from the old days and it works
Submitted by R (not verified) on May 28, 2008 - 21:36.

Actually many women back home use things like this.They wrap you in old bed sheets or material, and its really tight.It reduces fluids and all that stuff.It really does help alot, but the only thing is that you have to wear it for a couple months.I was wrapped up in bandages when i was younger, so my waist would be more hourglass shaped instead of square.It works like a corset, but smoother and no boning.I don't think this Tauts would work for everyone of every size.Because it gets looser the more you wear it.And you need to tighten it the smaller you get. Save your money and get strips of fabric or bandage and safety pins.

Tauts Post Pregnancy Wrap
Submitted by Guest (not verified) on August 24, 2010 - 11:59.

I agree with you. Binding your stomach after pregnacy does work. I disagree that it's not for everyone. They are adjustable and you tighten them as you shrink. I also found a discount code "RM10" that saved me a little money on a Tauts at Babooshbaby.com. I think a post pregnancy wrap, be it a Tauts or some other brand is for everyone.

how long can you wait?
Submitted by Guest (not verified) on August 18, 2008 - 20:07.

It says to wear it for 40 days after delivery, what if you dont start right away? I have a 2 month old and I really want to lose the baby weight.Is it to late to start using the taut? And another question I have is I bought a belly "lifter" for when your pregnant and you can wear it after birth to hold in loose skin. The problem though is it creates a back fat roll. So you cant wear it in public without it showing. Also after walking in it for a little while it bunches up. Those of you that have used the taut do these things occur?

Belly Wraps Work Because...
Submitted by Guest (not verified) on February 15, 2008 - 16:06.

I've heard of belly wraps before. A lot of Asian women use a belly wrap after they have children. Usually they use some type of material to wrap around their belly and it helps to loose the sag women have after having a baby. This works because it helps put everything back in place (which is knocked out of place when pregnant). Also, the belly sweats which helps to loose fat also. But many Asian women have told me this works, and has been done for years.

sweating doesn't make you

sweating doesn't make you lose fat and it also doesn't necessarily mean you are losing fat, so stick to the facts please.

Wow...how nasty we can be

Wow...how nasty we can be when it's not face to face. Just so you know, sweating does not mean you are burning fat or calories. Sweating is your bodies response to being over heated. All you are losing is water. you go down in weight as a result possibly, but it's only temporary. After delivery your uterus wants to shrink back with or without being wraped. The wrapping of your abdomin supplies support during this process.

sweating also gets rid of
Submitted by Guest (not verified) on August 28, 2009 - 19:55.

sweating also gets rid of toxins which having certain toxins in your body can make it harder to loose weight so in a way it does help you loose weight or burn fat whatever but over time the weight you loose right away is just water.

I tried using Taut but I don't really like it. It makes me feel hot and I feel too "tied up" I use weight loss patches that I buy online weight-loss-phytolabel.co.uk and I just stick it on my tummy. I've lost 2lbs so far and I'm really happy.
