Csect Binder

Is it necc to wear the abdominal binder given by the hospital? I stopped wearing mine 1 week pp due to an allergic rash. I tried wearing it again recently (currently at 2 weeks pp) but I feel so much more pressure and discomfort/soreness at wound area when walking around. Should i still force myself to wear the binder? Or is it ok to forgo wearing it?

It is recommended to wear the binder cos it really will help with recovery! Try putting kitchen towel in between the binder and yourself. I had v bad rash when I was using the binder. I think my skin was a little allergic to it. After putting kitchen towel in between it was much better.
