That's a wrap! Amongst the many challenges and concerns that most new mamas face in the aftermath of pregnancy is the universal desire to get their prebaby body back — or as close as possible, anyway. When a new mama is ready to get back in shape (after her doctor gives her the all clear), she has some tools at her disposal in addition to the age-old strategies of eating well and exercising.

Postpartum belly wrapping or girdling isn't a new concept, but the last few years have seen an explosion in the popularity of modern belly wraps like the Belly Bandit and Tauts, created by super hot celeb mama of four Brooke Burke.

Tauts Tightens Postpartum and Muffin Top Tummies

The saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way" may work most instances in life.

The saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way" may work most instances in life. But when it comes to losing that baby weight, sometimes it takes more than desire. For some, it takes the magical belly wrap called Tauts. Created by celebmama Brooke Burke, the $56 neoprene band is available in black and white and has a lace option ($62) for women craving a sexier style.

How does it work? Similar to the Belly Bandit, Tauts is a tummy band with a Velcro closure that binds the stomach and reduces the size of the swollen uterus and helps limit water retention. In the meantime, it holds the bloated tummy in tight while helping to shed inches in a timely manner. For best results, the creators recommend wearing it for 40 days immediately after delivering the baby — cesareans included. And for mommies who had their babes years ago, there's still hope. It is said to work for anyone looking to cinch her waistline.
