ABDOMINAL WRAP/BENGKUNG

Question : How long should I wear the Bengkung?
Answer : We recommend wearing the bengkung minimum 12 hours, everyday for 40 days, for optimum results. It’s best if you can wear it day and night , taking it off only when you have your shower. The more you wear it, the faster you will regain your pre-pregnancy figure.

Question : Can I wear the Bengkung even if I had a Caesarean delivery?
Answer : For Caesarean delivery, we recommend the wearing Bengkung only after the stitches are healed, which is around 2 weeks. There have also been cases where Doctors recommend the use of an Abdominal binder to help ‘hold’ the stitches together, soon after the Caeserean delivery. Please check with your Doctor, if in doubt.

Question : What is the difference between your Abdominal Wrap/Bengkung and the commercially available corsets or girdles?
Answer : Our Bengkung is made of 100% unbleached cotton which means the risk of allergy is greatly minimized, if not negligible. It is also cooler and more comfortable for our humid tropical climate. In addition, our cotton material is ‘stiff’ which makes it more effective to ‘mould’ your postnatal body into its pre-pregnancy shape. The length also covers till below the hips/upper thighs which means the support and slimming effect is better. In contrast, the commercial corsets/girdles have a high level of elastane, which is a synthetic material. This makes it less comfortable and ‘hotter’ for the wearer as the material does not allow the skin to breathe. Some wearers are also allergic to the synthetic material. Because it is more ‘elastic’, this means that the ‘moulding’ and slimming effect is less effective. The other point is that commercial corsets/girdles are usually only 10 – 12 inches in height, which means it only covers the abdominal , and not the hip area. Furthermore, corsets/girdles tend to bunch up and does not maintain its shape, even after a couple of hours of wear.

Question : I am very interested in your Tanamera Postnatal Care set, but I had my baby 6 months ago! Can I still use it?
Answer : For optimum results, we recommend the use of Tanamera Postnatal Care set during the confinement period . This is because our bodies are most ‘pliable’ and receptive to treatments with the presence of the hormone Relaxin in our body. As the name implies, this hormone helps relax our ligaments to allow for easier delivery. It is present in our body till approximately 8 months after delivery. So, yes you can still use the Tanamera Postnatal Care set even though you had your baby 6 months ago.
