The Cinch Lady Answers Frequently Asked Questions

NEW FINDINGS!
Cinch your postpartum tummy during the day and your hips at night.

How does it work?
The Cinch Tummy Wrap is the world’s only fully adjustable wrap that can be used to Cinch your core and hip. You wear The Cinch Signature/Couture during the day to support-enhance-tone your mid-section. At night, simply re-adjust The Cinch by lowering it to your hip and lower abdomen area to compress and cinch your hips. For even better results, you can use The Cinch Cold/Warm Compression Insert into your Cinch Signature pouch to sooth your uterus as needed.

What is the Science behind it?
Many research studies have shown that hormones such as Relaxin and Progesterone are produced during pregnancy to loosen and relax connective tissue and joints. By looking at a woman’s pelvic anatomy, the hip bones are attached to many ligaments that have been loosened and stretched by these hormones during pregnancy and delivery. These hormones still linger in your system after delivery, and bones are still loosened and stretched out. This is the window of opportunity for a new mom to get back to her pre-pregnancy profile. During these crucial first postpartum weeks, approximately 1-8 weeks, the pelvic bones and ligaments are very malleable. Working with your natural hormones and recovery process, you can potentially re-contour the hip and lower abdomen area by applying gentle and continuous compression.

Why is wearing The Cinch ideal during your first stage of recovery?
The Cinch Tummy Wrap with patent pending function and design targets your core and hip area in many ways. The high-tech elastic material will not lose it's stretch while providing constant and even pressure in your targeted areas. It has an elasticity memory that will recoil to its original shape. This allows the material to maintain its integrity to achieve maximum tensile strength every time. The fabric performance with anion technology provides for moisture control during extended duration of use. The interlocking patterns of the material and design reduce minimum rolls and sustain desired placement. The Cinch Tummy Wrap incorporate anion technology to increase breathability while decreasing irritation to the skin. The height of The Cinch provides for a wider coverage of the core and hip areas. The forward thinking design creates a 360-degree support in the front, back and side aspects. The compression is multiplied by simply adjusting the front panel in conjunction with the added double wings to provide continuous tension control. The adjustability of the continuous tension control allows for maximum results.

The added value in The Cinch Tummy Wrap’s ability to fully adjust to your comfort and changing core/hip line provide new moms the flexibility to target areas in their recovery phase with just a single wrap.

Always consult your physician before using The Cinch Postpartum Tummy Wrap. Do not wear if you are experiencing any pain. Results vary. Do not use during pregnancy. This site is not intended to give any medical advice.

Ok ladies, it took you 9 months to nurture the growth of your baby while the weight goes on, you should take at least 9 months to nurture your body back to a healthier you. I created my Nine Months Plan to Regain Your Healthy Shape with the The Cinch Tummy Wrap so you can watch your weight come off naturally and return to a toned physique by its Support, Enhancement, and Toning effects.

For the first 6-8 weeks, with your doctors’ approval of course, “ The Cinch’ is recommended as a gently applied pressure wrap for “Support” to holding in your stretched out stomach muscles and skin and to remind you that you are not eating for two any longer. For the next 3-6 months, “The Cinch” is an “enhancement” tightening the tension control on the adjustable wrap while accompanying light exercise. Gradually adjusting the wrap down a size as you lose your post-baby waistline. From 6-9 months, “The Cinch” can be tightened and stabilized to begin the “toning and firming” process of your recovery along with a regular and cardiovascular exercise regime. All the while considering what you eat, healthy, organic, and nutritious choices..

If you don’t already know it, binding your tummy is a natural and healthy way to let your body recover quicker and easier so you can get back into the groove of your daily life. You will feel healthier, beautiful and energetic!

I have been on shows such as The Tyra Bank’s Show giving my expert opinions on how to slim after having babies. Many magazines such as Real Simple, American Baby, Pregnancy, Pregnancy Newborn, Fit Pregancy, Pregnancy Today and Celebrity Baby and many more have weighed in and gave my creation ‘The Cinch Tummy’ and Post-Preggo Apparel line “Silhouette by Cirqulate” a standing ovation. People start calling me the “Cinch Lady” and wanted me to share more of my secrets on how to look and feel your best after babies.

Top Questions Moms Usually Ask:

1) My doctor recommended the Cinch to me after my baby. Do other Obs recommend the Cinch also?

YES! Doctors (Ob/Gyns & DOs) are hearing and seeing a lot of benefits when patients use The Cinch. They are happy to refer The Cinch to their patients. Look at our testimonials and you can see just how many U.S. doctors have recommended The Cinch to their patients. All of those doctors have seen, touched and tried The Cinch. It is their favorite one because of its art, science, function and design. They are wowed by the Cinch. They especially like the fact that the fully adjustable, 360-degree support gives an even, gentle compression, and makes mom happy.

2) I heard that Cinch contours to a woman's body and does not roll up. How come sometimes when I use it, it rolls up a little bit and most times it doesn't?

You are right! When Cinch is properly placed on, it should have a fitted contour to your body. The only time it rolls up is when it is over tighten with the elastic wings on the sides without adjusting the front panels first. For best results, always size The Cinch first by placing it on a flat surface and adjust the front two panels closest to your current waist size. Make sure you velcro the front panels up against the top seam. Stand up, breath in a little and zip on your right. Make sure the elastic wings are not velcroed in yet. Now center the front portion of The Cinch. You can pull The Cinch up or down the way you want it. Then use both hands stretch the elastic wings out and Velcro to the back. Make sure you don't over-stretch it. If you need more support and compression, always start with adjusting the front panels first before you zip up!

3) What is the difference between The Signature Cinch and The Couture Cinch?

I designed the Signature Cinch for new moms to help with more Support, Enhance and Tone. The S-M Signature Cinch even has a pocket for Cold-Warm pack just in case you need a little more soothing.

The Couture Cinch is for Support, more Enhancing and Toning. It is ideal for moms with Toddlers who is beyond the first stage of recovery and into her 3-6 months and beyond..

4) I am still preggo, but I really have to have the “Cinch” now before my baby comes out so I can have the Cinch all ready to go. Which size of Cinch should I buy now?

It is simple. If your pre-preggo waist is 32” or Size 10 or less, get the S-M Cinch. If above a 10 ladies , your safer to get the L-XL.

5) I just delivered my baby and I want the Cinch. What is the best way to measure my waist?

Measure at you belly button. If you are 38” or under, S-M Cinch is perfect for you. If you are 39” or above, get the L-XL Cinch.

6) Can I wear my Cinch the moment my baby comes out?

Yes, if your baby came out naturaly you can wear it the next day. Always take it easy at first then slowing tighten the Cinch as you feel better down there. Ouch. Don’t forget to always let your doctor know what you are doing. If you had a C-Section, you may have to wait a few weeks before you wear ‘The Cinch Tummy Wrap.’ Your wound has to heal and close before you apply pressure. Ask you doctor when you can wear wrap.

7) Can I wear my Cinch all day and night? For how long?

When your doctor says you are okay to wrap your tummy, you can wear the Cinch as long as you are comfortable. For the first 6-8 weeks, adjust the wrap with the front measuring device to allow for maximum comfort and support. You should wear your wrap as much as possible. For best results, try wearing your Cinch at nights. Just take it off periodically for rest and of course when you are showering.

Do wear your Cinch during meals because it will remind you “You are no longer eating for two." Eat healthy proportioned meals. Don’t diet.

For the next 3-6 months, you can now Cinch your waist with our Cinch Tension Control™ elastic wings and see your waist gradually shrink back to your pre-baby shape. Don’t forget to eat healthy and do light exercise.

For the next 6-9 months and beyond, you can wear The Cinch during your exercise routine whether it is aerobics, yoga or Pilates. The Cinch is there to further tone and firm your muscles and skin so you don’t rebound.

8) I saw the Cinch Lady on Tyra Bank Show. Cinch is amazing. Tell me more..

Cinch is created out of love for you moms. The Cinch Lady wants to make sure all who wears her Cinch feels good and so it motivates them to strive for healthier living. You don’t have to sacrifice beauty for function.

Cinch is beautiful to wear and lifts up your confidence that you are not wearing a bandage.

Cinch has 360 degree support and it is the only patent pending wrap that has dual panel and double wing straps to help you compress your tummy double folds. It even have a measuring device to help you see your results. It is the only proactive adjustable wrap that can compress your tummy with a force of two wraps in one. Once you get one Cinch you don’t need to buy a smaller one. It can adjust up to 8.”

9) What is the best way to wear the Cinch? How can I get the most out of it?

There is the 4 easy steps to wear the Cinch. Please go to our “How to Use” section and watch our “How to Use Video." Cinch is well known for not rolling and crunching up. Make sure you don’t over tighten the Cinch with the elastic wings when you first wear it in the beginning stages of your recovery.

You should measure closely to your existing waistline and size your Cinch on a flat surface. Stand up when you put it on. Breath in just a little before you zip up. After you adjust your Cinch to a comfy fit, use both hands to hold the elastic wings to further tighten. Hint: In your first 6-8 weeks, don’t over tighten and compress too much. Your Cinch will stay put and not roll up. In your second and third stage you can increase your tension control with the elastic wings as you see fit. Make sure you remember to adjust your front panel measuring device down a size every time you feel it is loser when you zip up.

10) Will the Cinch still help me if my baby is a toddler now?

I always say, the Cinch Tummy Wrap was created for new moms. I can see a benefit for moms with Toddlers with exercise and a healthy diet. For moms with toddlers, try the Couture Cinch.

11) How do I care for my Cinch?

Easy. Hand wash with mild soap and hang dry. Cinch has scotch guard protection and usually it is low-maintanence as long as you take care of it like your second baby.

12) I don’t want to have people asking me when I am I due after I just had my baby 3 months ago. How can the Cinch help?

Cinch is to help compress the tummy after giving birth and shrink the uterus. Many of your tummy muscles such as the Transverse, oblique and Rectus Abdminus muslces are stretched out of portion. Without the help of a wrap, they will take a longer period of time to recover. Especially if you don’t have a good diet and eat too much, they may never get back to normal and hence the muffin tops and tummy rolls. Do it right the first time and you will have your friends asking you for your secret to looking and feeling great right after your baby. You can have the cake and eat it too, ladies.

13) I was a small before now after baby I am smack in the middle of the two sizes? Which size should I get?

If you were small or under size 10, chances are you will definitely fit in a size S-M.

14) Will I look good wearing the Cinch Tummy Wrap in my sexy t-shirt?

Be real ladies, you are wearing a binder. It can’t just disappear under your clothes. The Cinch Lady had researched and developed her Cinch Tummy Wrap for over 3 years to find the thinnest and most durable fabric that she can find. If you see just a little line under your tight t-shirt, don’t sweat it. This just mean the Cinch is working for you to allow you to wear a tight T-shirt in the first place.

If you find that the wrap is bulging and crinkle underneath your clothes, then you are not wearing the Cinch the correct way. Start from step 1 and make sure you size the Cinch and Velcro the front elastic strap all the way against the upper seam so the front panel is covers down smoothly.

15) I am a multi-task mom and I need to move around a lot. Can I still function wearing my Cinch all day?

Of course, Cinch is made with high end materials and strategically designed so you can bend, flex and maneuver easily with your baby or toddler. The most important part is you can breath in it.

If you wear your Cinch the right way, most moms claim they almost forget that they are wearing it.

16) Some people say you should pay attention to your baby and not worry about wrapping your tummy right after you give birth. It is so vain. What do you have to say about that?

After knowing about my 9 Month’s Recovery Philosophy, you should know The Cinch is not about Vanity. It is about Health and Confidence. You are now a mother and you are the heart of your family.
