What is Bengkung?
Bengkung is a long cotton muslin wrap, manually tied around the abdomen, pelvis, and lower back after childbirth. It helps the body gently recover and restores a deep sense of inner support and wholeness.
How it works:
• Supports abdominal and back muscles, reducing strain and discomfort
• Helps organs return to their natural position more quickly
• Aids in reducing diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation)
• Improves posture, especially during breastfeeding
• Creates a feeling of safety and “gathering” after pregnancy and birth
When to wear:
It is recommended to start wearing the Bengkung 2–7 days after a vaginal birth (depending on how you feel), and after consulting a specialist if recovering from a cesarean. It can be worn daily for several hours.
Recommended duration: up to 40 days postpartum.
How it differs from a conventional postpartum belt:
• Manually adjustable – allows a custom fit to the woman’s body and desired compression
• Doesn’t constrict but gently embraces the body thanks to the fabric’s width and wrapping technique
• Made from natural muslin, with no synthetic materials or fasteners
• Offers not just physical, but also emotional support – creating a ritual of care and reconnection with oneself
