What is Bengkung?
Bengkung is a long cotton wrap that is manually tied around the abdomen, pelvis, and lower back after childbirth. It helps the body gently realign and restores a sense of internal support and wholeness.
How it works:
• Supports abdominal and back muscles, reducing tension and pain
• Helps internal organs return to their natural position more quickly
• Aids in reducing abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
• Improves posture, especially during breastfeeding
• Creates a sense of safety and “gathering” after pregnancy and birth
When to wear:
It is recommended to start wearing Bengkung 2–7 days after vaginal birth (depending on how you feel), and after consulting a specialist in case of cesarean recovery. It can be worn for several hours a day. Recommended wearing duration: up to 40 days during the postpartum period.
How it differs from a conventional postpartum belt:
• Bengkung is adjusted manually, allowing for a custom fit and level of compression
• It doesn’t compress but gently embraces the body thanks to the wide fabric and wrapping method
• Made from natural fabric, without synthetic materials or fasteners
• Offers not only physical but also emotional support — creating a ritual of care and reconnection with oneself
