Belly Binding with Elan

The postpartum period, often called the Golden Month in Traditional Chinese Medicine.is a sacred time for rest and recovery. Belly binding is a centuries-old practice, used across Asia and cherished in Malaysia as the bengkung: a soft cloth wrap that gently supports the abdomen, hips, and back after birth.

Our beautifully crafted Bengkungs honour this tradition while being designed for modern motherhood. Adjustable to suit your body, they help you feel held, supported, and grounded during your fourth trimester.

Why Mamas Love It
  • Supports abdominal healing & diastasis recti recovery
  • Relieves back, hip & pelvic discomfort
  • Encourages circulation and fluid release
  • Helps stabilise ligaments and improve posture while nursing
  • Offers comfort, strength & a sense of ritual
More than just a wrap, this is a daily practice of honouring your body and your motherhood journey. Our bengkungs are 15m long and are made of 100% cotton.

Pair this with our Jamu Oil, formulated using traditional ingredients to create warmth and believed to expel wind from the body. Traditionally, mothers had their abdomens massaged to facilitate their healing process prior to binding. As the pressure and placement can be adjusted to suit individual bodies, we believe this form of binding is a wonderful alternative to waist trainers often found on the market. 

Care Instructions:
To preserve the beauty and effectiveness of your Bengkung, they should be washed after a few uses. For convenience, we recommend having an extra bind for washing days if it is your preference to bind on consecutive days. To ensure their longevity, we recommend hand-washing or placing them in a laundry bag in the washing machine. You might choose to add a layer of fabric / wear a camisole between your oiled skin and the bengkung to avoid too much oil transfer.

Frequently asked questions

What is Chinese confinement or 'sitting the month'?

Chinese confinement (坐月子 - zuò yuè zi) is an ancient postpartum practice where new mothers rest and recover for approximately a month after birth. During this time, mothers are supported with nourishing foods, traditional remedies, and community care to restore their body, bond with baby, and prevent long-term health issues.

When should I start using Elan House of Wellness' products?

Our products can be enjoyed during pregnancy and throughout your postpartum journey. Many mothers begin incorporating our nourishing snacks during the third trimester and continue through the traditional month-long confinement period and beyond.

What makes your products different from regular snacks or supplements?

Our products are specifically designed for the pregnancy and postpartum period, combining traditional Chinese medicine wisdom with modern nutritional science. We focus on warming, restorative ingredients that support healing, energy restoration, and hormonal balance.

Can partners or family members order these as gifts?

Absolutely! Many of our customers are partners, mothers, sisters, and friends wanting to support someone through their pregnancy or postpartum journey. We offer curated bundles that make thoughtful, practical gifts.

The 28 day Postpartum recovery package has been an amazing way to add in nourishing meals,
warm teas and finding time for myself in the little moments between feeds, changing nappies
and bubbas naps.

I just finished doing confinement for a second time and Elan’s 28 Day Postpartum Package has made the process so easy. We had a confinement nanny who did all the cooking for me, but you can definitely delegate the task to your partner or a friend. I feel like I recovered so much better this time around and I really credit this to prioritising rest and self care.
