"Today I was thrilled to take this free belly binding class with Diksha Berebitsky, Thank you!!!
We learned why and how to bind ourselves after birth and had a fun, hands on experience to try it out, Let me just say my 'loose bones' LOVED the feeling! I am excited to have this new skill and wear this for my first 40 days postpartum.
I am SO excited to have the opportunity to be a mother and experience this amazing phase of life.
The female body is a trip and I am so very grateful." ~Reanna
What is Bengkung?
Bengkung belly binding is the art of wrapping a postpartum woman's belly for physical support and to help hasten the recovery process after childbirth. This belly binding technique uses a 16 yard long strip of cloth to wrap around around the abdomen from the hips up to the ribcage. Women are traditionally wrapped as soon after birth as possible, ideally on day 2-5 and 2 weeks after a cesarean birth. It is then worn for 40 days or longer as needed. The Bengkung belly binding technique is rooted in Malaysian culture however various countries and cultures around the world use a form of belly binding to help support the healing process.
Why belly-binding?
- Provides postural support for the torso and organs as they return to pre-pregnancy position
- Supports and assists abdominal wall healing and diastasis recti recovery
- Supports the body's natural spine and posture realignment post birth
- Constant pressure on the torso and abdomen hastens healing by reducing water, fat and air in the tissue and cells
- Stabilizes loose ligaments
- Decreases postpartum bleeding time by speeding up the process of getting rid of waste blood in a natural way.
- Helps to prevent and relieve lower back aches and strains. While wearing it, you are reminded to sit and walk straight..
- Prevents slouching while feeding or holding your child
- It’s an ancient traditional natural way of healing after birth.
For Best Results...
Women should be wrapped as soon they can after birth, ideally on day 2-5 postpartum. The belly bind should be worn daily for 8-10 hours, for at approx, 40 days or longer.

Is the Bengkung different from western postpartum girdles (like Belly Bandit)?It’s the length. A Bengkung Belly Bind is a long wrap that covers from under the chest all the way down to below the hips. This way, it doesn’t just work on the waist, but also helps the ribcage and the hips go back to their former dimensions. It also stays put when you move, and so it doesn’t press on the abdomen. |
