About Us

I started SageAbay so other moms don’t have to feel the way I felt during childbirth and postpartum.

After struggling with infertility for over seven years, I was finally blessed with my son. He was a big baby, in the 90th percentile. Two days postpartum, while lying in my hospital bed, I overheard nurses discussing whether I had delivered twins. Confused, I thought it was a compliment — but months later, when I developed severe lower back pain, I learned I had diastasis recti, with a 4–5 finger gap in my abdominal muscles.

I was devastated. That’s when I remembered my mother’s advice. As a mom of five herself, she told me to bind my belly with non-stretchy cotton fabric, just as women in Turkmenistan traditionally did. At first, I ignored her. But eventually, I discovered the Bengkung belly binding wrap, and it changed everything. With consistent use, my gap reduced to just 1.5–2 fingers, while my mom, even after five kids, had only a one-finger gap. I was amazed.

I knew then that other mothers deserved access to this knowledge and support. Not only that, but they also deserved better quality wraps than the rough, bulky muslin versions available. That’s how SageAbay was born: to create sustainable, high-quality Bengkung belly binding wraps made of GOTS-certified organic cotton fabrics.

Every wrap is handmade with love by me and my sister, who despite losing her womb due to lack of medical care in her 20s, has dedicated herself to serving thousands of moms through this work. Together, we pour our hearts into each product, so moms everywhere can feel supported, strong, and cared for.

At SageAbay, our mission is simple:

• To honor the wisdom of traditional postpartum care.
• To offer sustainable, organic fabrics that are gentle on your body and the planet.
• To empower moms with knowledge, comfort, and confidence during their postpartum journey.
