Faja

Whatever you call it – womb wrapping, belly binding, the faja (Spanish for belt, or girdle), supporting the womb by tying a piece of fabric around the lower abdomen is a great way to support womb healing.

Direction of Use

Take your fabric and put the vertical and horizontal midpoint in the centre of your abdomen, just above the pubic bone. Holding the fabric, take it to the back, crossing it over and gradually tightening and lifting as you do so. Now, when it is comfortably tight, pass the piece you’re holding in your right hand to your left, and the piece in your left to your right, bring the ends round to the front and tie it off. If you know your womb tends to fall to the left, then tie the knot on the left side; if she falls to the right, then tie it on the right. If you are lucky enough to have a perfectly centred womb, it still feels lovely to womb wrap, but tie it off with the knot in the centre.
