You Will Need a Tummy Pillow

You’ll need a tummy pillow – Hysterectomy Recovery Tip

You’ve probably heard from other women about the need for a tummy pillow after your hysterectomy. But you may wonder “why?”.

The tummy pillow is used from the first day, supporting your abdomen when you cough or sneeze. You place it between you and the seatbelt on your ride home from the hospital. In bed or lounging on the couch, you will use this pillow to support your tummy as you lay on your side.

In other words, the tummy will be your constant companion for a while. It comforts and protects your tummy.

We’ve added a pocket to the tummy pillow to hold a cold pack. This provide extra comfort with an ice pack against your tender, swollen incision.

Our customers love the Pocket Tummy Pillow. We think you will, too!

 

Support tender tummy with binder

Support your tender tummy with binder – Hysterectomy Recovery Tip

We often hear from hysterectomy patients: I felt like my belly was going to fall off. Or, I needed to grab my belly as I moved.

As a result, you will feel your belly is unprotected and “loose”.  And with an abdominal binder, your tummy will feel protected and secured.

Wear an abdominal binder from day one, over your bandage. You will find it helps you to get in and out of bed, in and out of the car and even as you turn or adjust in bed. The binder will provide gentle support and compression, often resulting in easier recovery for you.

The abdominal binder carried at HysterectomyStore.com, is perfectly designed for a woman’s shape. It is designed so it doesn’t roll or twist.

Our customers love it. We think you will love this abdominal binder for your hysterectomy recovery, too!
