Bengkung is 100% custom to your body every single time you wear it. In comparison, a mass-produced bind is only semi-customizable. It's the difference between buying a pair of jeans off the shelf at H&M (a mass-produced bind) vs having a tailor make you a brand new pair of jeans every single day. Our Bengkung Belly Bind is also made of 100% gauze cotton fabric, which makes it far more comfortable to wear than a mass-produced bind. I use different Bengkung Belly Binds, all home made and very comfortable.

The bind should not hurt, it’s not a corset! Think of it as swaddling. The first wrap around your hips should be only as tight as you want, then you should follow the curve of your body upwards to just under your breasts. If you find it’s uncomfortable when you sit down, you should unwrap and wrap again a little looser. It may take several tries to get it just right. Occasionally pain with the bind may be associated with bloating or gas coupled with the hug of the bind.
