This is a pelvic nipper that can be used immediately after childbirth. I purchased it to correct my widened pelvis and only used it after giving birth to one child. The Velcro is not deteriorated and is in strong condition. It looks faded due to the lighting, but there is no actual fading. There are no signs of fading or fraying, and it can still be used. It's an essential item for preparing for childbirth. Thank you for your understanding regarding this used item. Black waist shaper made of stretch material, with a cross design and support function. - Color: Black - Design: Cross design - Material: Stretch material - Style: Waist shaper - Function: With support function Thank you for viewing.
