What is Bengkung?
Bengkung is a comfortable and traditional Malaysian belly binding method. Belling binding or wrapping is practiced by many cultures around the world. Belly wrapping invites you to initiate a self-care ritual. Essentially it is a practice of tying a long strip of cloth around the abdomen during the postpartum recovery period to ensure a strong support to the abdominal area, in particular the lines alba and pelvic floor after childbirth.

Wrapping the belly is an effective and important part of a mama’s recovery in the postpartum stage of her journey. It naturally aids the body to shrink and recover in a shorter period of time. A Bengkung belly wrap provides a mamma’s postpartum body with complete support to assist abdominal re attachment, improve posture, stabilize loosened ligaments, and provide support to the torso while vital organs return to their pre-pregnancy size and position.
During pregnancy a mamma’s body retains water, fat, and air which cause her body to swell and expand. This also includes the organs in the womb area such as the cervix and vagina to also expand and enlarge. The water retained by cells supported the amniotic fluid and the purpose of the air was to cushion the baby, mamma’s internal organs, and bones as her center of gravity shifted and her baby grew bigger and bigger. This is why a mamma gets more and more swollen during the last months of pregnancy. When a baby is born, the excess water, fat, and flatulence are no longer needed and the cells will naturally release and shrink back to their pre-pregnant size. However, the purpose of a post-pregnancy wrap is to speed up this process with constant supportive pressure on the abdomen and torso area.
A post-pregnancy wrap provides holistic support to all the abdominal and pelvic organs, including the muscles in the pelvic area. Supporting the pelvic floor in the immediate time postpartum is crucial for both vaginal and c-section momma's. A momma whom vaginally delivered cervix dilated to 10 cm when active labor is reached (the equivalent to the size of an average bagel) and needs the support to help the stretched muscle and skin return to its normal size. A momma whom delivered cesarean underwent extensive invasive surgery and is typically mandated to wear a supportive wrap.
