“My 2nd caesarean. After my first, I had a lot of adhesions afterwards. With Scarban C-Section recovery kit, it became smooth so quickly, itching/pulling went away quickly. The thickening also goed away so quickly. Bizarre! Really makes a world of difference. Should be standard advice for everyone after Caesarean section. I recommended it to everyone around me. Pelvic floor physiotherapist has seen the process and was also really amazed by the result.”
