Great Binder Set

If you are scheduled for an upcoming surgery and wonder which binder you might need, we have made it easy for you. We’ve combined the two best binders for your hysterectomy – tummy tuck, c-section, hernia repair or other abdominal surgery – including the Silky Sac into a great set to save you money!

Compression after a laparoscopic hysterectomy or open abdominal hysterectomy, myomectomy, appendectomy, hernia surgery, or tummy tuck is helpful to your recovery.

Our binders provide support directly to your tummy and back, allowing you to move with less pain and greater mobility. Compression aides to reduce recovery time. Our abdominal binders provide incision support, help prevent tearing, and make it easier to get out of bed, move and walk.

In this set you will receive:

The Abdominal Binder

You’ll want this binder during your hysterectomy recovery, not only for when you are up and walking around but this is a “must have” for side sleepers, to recline comfortably during recovery. You will love this for the best tummy belly support. We can’t say enough good stuff about this product! This binder is great for both horizontal and vertical incisions, as well as for minimally invasive surgery. It’s tapered design allows for an even better fit.

The Pocket Binder

This pocket abdominal Binder for hysterectomy recovery provides cooling relief and support for your hysterectomy or surgery recovery especially during the first few weeks of surgery. The pocket binder comes with 2 cold/heat packs which provide cooling comfort to your tender belly.

Two Cold/Heat Packs

These handy packs are reusable medical packs. Freeze them or heat them and they stay flexible. Freeze in your kitchen freezer for 1-2 hours before using. Heat in boiling water or in a microwave. Apply to your “Owie” for comfort and healing relief.

Silky Sac – Washing bag

What makes Silky Sac different? Most washer bags have either an open mesh or rough yarns. Instead of protecting’ delicate items, they act like a grate’ and actually cause pilling and can snag loosely woven and knitted items. Wash your binders on delicate cycle and keep them protected inside this laundry sack.

5 Reasons to Be Thankful!

Thanksgiving is an inspiring holiday and it gives us at least 5 reasons to be thankful! Besides good food, football and a holiday from work, we love Thanksgiving because it causes us to be reflective on what is important in our lives. Indeed, it adds fresh perspective to our outlook.

And so, so we don’t forget, here are some benefits to being thankful as we celebrate this season:

Thankfulness creates a sense of contentment

We are bombarded with media messages that can cause discontentment. “You need to be thinner” or “you need to look like this celebrity”. Or “Your house should be this big to be successful” or “the best people drive this kind of car”. Instead, thankfulness strips away the things that call to us – and focus us on what we do have. By choosing to be thankful, we can ignore those other messages that cause us to feel we don’t measure up.

Thankfulness feels good

Instead of grumbling along, complaining of what we do not have, thankfulness within our hearts erases the complaints.

Remember the song: “Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings see what God has done!” Remembering our blessings turns our heart back towards gratitude and it simply feels good.

Thankfulness looks good

Do you like to be around people that complain about what they do not have? Or what they want? Us either! When we are grateful, others will see us in a positive way and want to be around us.

Thankfulness promotes generosity

When we realize how much we are blessed, we want to bless others when we can. When we see our own blessings, we tend to open our hands to share our blessings with others!

Thankfulness is contagious

If the icky things in life are contagious – like illness and bad attitudes, the same is true for good things. When we are around thankful people, we tend to be thankful. We can take our smiles of thanksgiving and bless others we come in contact – in a grocery store line, at the hospital, as we drive, among our office workers and in our neighborhoods.

Join us as we choose thankfulness!
