Debunking Common Myths About Bengkung Belly Binding

At SageAbay, we've been handcrafting high-quality Bengkung belly binding wraps for a while now. We've received lots of positive feedback, but we've also heard a few misconceptions. Let's address those myths:

Myth 1: It's time-consuming to wrap.

Initially, until you get used to it (which usually takes about a week), wrapping might take 10-15 minutes. But once you've got the hang of it, it will only take about 2 minutes if your little one isn't trying to "help"! And remember, mama, you've brought a new life into the world—you deserve a few minutes of self-care each day.

Myth 2: You need to cut extra length.

This is the worst advice we've heard! The wrap is carefully crafted with neatly finished edges. You've invested in a quality product, so don't ruin it by cutting it. What seems like extra length now might be just right later. Instead, watch our video tutorial on how to wrap it perfectly without any cutting.

Myth 3: Raw edges shed a lot.

Fabrics with a good grip generally don't shed much. Most Bengkung belly binding wraps are made of unbleached cotton muslin, which has a great grip. A few threads might come out when you pull, but since the wrap is long, even a single thread can seem like a lot. We offer an unbleached muslin raw edge wrap at SageAbay to make this option accessible to all moms, regardless of budget.

Myth 4: You need to sleep in your Bengkung belly binding wrap.

Nope! There's no reason to wear the wrap at night. You're not using your core muscles while sleeping, so you don't need the extra support. Let your body rest and start fresh with your wrap in the morning.

Myth 5: You can't use the bathroom properly.

If you wrap the Bengkung belly binding over your clothes, it might be a bit tricky. Instead, remove your underwear, wrap the binding around your hips and lower belly on bare skin, and then put your underwear back on over the wrap.
