And don’t forget this abdominal binder

We know you are scurrying around looking for everything you might need for your hysterectomy recovery.

We know!

Believe us – we know!

Before you head to the hospital, we invite you to learn about our abdominal binder – and why its so helpful to your hysterectomy recovery.

You see, binders provide support directly to your tummy and back, allowing you to move with less pain and greater mobility. Compression may sound uncomfortable but the truth is, gentle compression provides you support and comfort.

P.S. Also, check out our Pocket Hysterectomy Binder for added relief with cold/heat packs.

Hands down favorite – Tummy Pillow

We are often asked – “If I can get just one item, what would you suggest?” This is a hard one because there are actually two important products we think will make your recovery much easier and more comfortable.

The Tummy Pillow comes to mind first for your hysterectomy recovery. Not because it is the most important but it is likely to be the product you will want to have with you from the very moment you wake up from surgery.

The Hysterectomy Store’s Tummy pillow is unique in that it is handmade with a pocket on one side for you to insert one of the two cold packs that come with the pillow.

The ice packs provide cooling relief while the pillow provides gentle support –

while you ride in the car (put it between you and the seatbelt)

while you lounge on the sofa to protect your belly from sneezes, coughs,

and protects you from pets who need to be near you….

and (if you have small children) their elbows and knees while they spend time with you.

Our Tummy Pillow with Pocket comes in a variety of fabrics that change constantly. See one that you like? Grab it because stock is always “iffy” and you might not see that particular fabric again!

Use a Tummy Pillow Between You and Seatbelt

Your ride home from the hospital will feel bumpy even if your driver is careful. That’s because your tummy will be swollen, tender and feeling offended.

Be sure and take a tummy pillow with you to the hospital for your trip home. You will, also, need the tummy pillow to protect your tummy as you cough, sneeze or laugh.
