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.
