FAQs
What exactly is a Haramaki? Do I wear it under or over my clothes?
A Haramaki is a soft, breathable belly warmer that wraps around your midsection — covering your belly, womb, kidneys, and low back.
You can wear it under clothing for invisible warmth or over leggings/lounge wear at home.
It stretches, it holds gently, and it keeps your core warm and supported all day.
Is a Haramaki only for women?
No — Haramakis are for everyone.
Women love them for period pain, womb warmth, and postpartum healing.
Men love them for low-back warmth, digestion, cold offices, and general comfort.
Warmth benefits every body.
What makes a Haramaki different from a waist trainer?
Haramakis are used for staying warm in cold weather and indoor environments, for postpartum healing and recovery, keeping the kidneys warm and protected and easing aches and pains. They are soft, breathable, and non-compressive — no squeezing or shaping.
Why does it feel so comforting emotionally?
Because warmth is one of the strongest signals of safety to the nervous system.
Warmth:
- calms stress
- grounds your energy
- deepens your breath
- softens belly tension
A Haramaki gives you the comfort you didn’t even know you needed.
Is it good for postpartum?
Absolutely — After birth, the body craves warmth.
A Haramaki helps:
- warm the womb
- support circulation
- protect the kidneys
- reduce chills
- soothe the low back
- help mothers feel grounded and held
It’s gentle enough for every day, and perfect for the first 40 days postpartum.
What’s the difference between the Angora Wool, Merino Wool, and Organic Cotton Haramakis?
Each Haramaki offers warmth and support, but they differ in heat level, texture, and skin sensitivity. Here’s a clear breakdown:
Angora Wool Haramaki – Deep Warmth, Not for Sensitive Skin
Provides strong, intense warmth, especially around the womb and kidneys
Best worn over a thin layer (like a tank top or thin shirt) as it can be a bit itchy worn directly on skin.
Not recommended for postpartum because freshly postpartum skin is more sensitive, and irritation + heat can be too stimulating
Great for very cold climates, cold constitutions, or people seeking strong heat therapy
Best for: deep warmth needs, circulation support, cold months — worn over clothing.
Not ideal for: postpartum, sensitive skin, or direct skin contact.
Merino Wool Haramaki – Soft, Breathable & All-Season
Made with premium, ultra-fine merino wool (non-itchy and gentle)
Provides steady, nourishing warmth without overheating
Naturally breathable and moisture-wicking
Comfortable enough to wear directly on the skin
Works beautifully for womb warmth, digestion, lower-back support, and postpartum recovery
Best for: daily wear, postpartum, sensitive skin, all-season warmth.
Organic Cotton Haramaki – Light, Gentle & Wool-Free
100% organic cotton — soft, breathable, non-irritating
Offers light to moderate warmth
Perfect for those who are wool-sensitive or prefer plant-based fabrics
Ideal during warmer months or for anyone who wants gentle core support without too much heat
Best for: wool-sensitive skin, gentle warming, warmer climates, everyday comfort.
In short:
Angora → Deepest warmth, can be itchy, best worn over clothing.
Merino → Soft, breathable, non-itchy, perfect for postpartum and daily warmth.
Organic Cotton → Gentle warmth, wool-free, ideal for sensitive skin and warm climates.
Will it show under clothes?
The Organic Cotton version is smoother and more invisible.
The Merino Wool is slightly thicker but still low-profile.
Most people wear it under:
- sweaters
- leggings
- pajamas
- dresses
- loungewear
It layers beautifully.

Is it safe to wear everyday?
Yes — it’s actually ideal for daily use.
Daily core warmth supports:
- circulation
- digestion
- hormonal balance
- mood regulation
- grounding
- comfort
Many customers wear it from morning to night in the winter time.
How do I wash it?
Super easy.
Merino Wool:
Hand wash or gentle cycle → lay flat to dry.
Organic Cotton:
Machine wash cold → tumble dry low.
Both fabrics are durable and made to last.
Will my Haramaki still fit as my belly reduces after birth?
If your Haramaki starts feeling loose just put it in the dryer. A short cycle will gently shrink the natural fibers so it feels snug and supportive again.
Because our Haramaki is made from soft, natural materials, it can easily adapt to your healing body:
This makes it perfect for postpartum — it supports your body without squeezing, and adjusts as you return to your center.
Whats the difference between a postpartum Haramaki and a postpartum binder or wrap?
A Haramaki provides warmth and gentle hold — NOT compression.
It keeps your belly, womb space, and low back warm, protected, and supported without squeezing or restricting your healing organs.
A postpartum binder compresses the abdomen tightly.
While marketed as “supportive,” binding too tightly can:
- push pressure downward onto the pelvic floor
- worsen prolapse symptoms
- interfere with organ repositioning
- restrict circulation
- increase abdominal tension
- reduce diaphragmatic breathing (necessary for pelvic floor recovery)
Postpartum binders can harm the pelvic floor when worn too tight or too long.
Your pelvic floor is in its most vulnerable state after birth.
Compression pushes down on it — when it needs the opposite.
A Haramaki is safer + more supportive postpartum:
- very mild compression
- no restriction
- no downward pressure
- supports circulation instead of restricting it
- keeps the womb warm (vital in global traditions)
Haramakis follow the principles of ancestral postpartum care, not modern compression trends.
Is it safe for postpartum?
Yes — a Haramaki is safe for postpartum when used correctly, and it follows a long lineage of traditional postpartum care across the world.
For thousands of years, cultures around the globe have used belly wrapping, warming, and gentle abdominal support after birth. These practices were not for “snatching the waist” or tightening the belly — but to restore warmth, stability, circulation, and holding to a woman’s center after childbirth.
A Haramaki continues that tradition in a modern, gentle, and safe way.
Can I wear my Haramaki all day in the early postpartum time?
Absolutely.
Soulreignty Haramakis are designed to be:
- soft
- breathable
- stretchy
- non-compressive
- warm
You can wear it from morning to night — even during naps or at bedtime — without interfering with pelvic floor healing, circulation, or abdominal recovery.
Warmth actually supports circulation, reduces postpartum chills, and helps the womb feel more held during recovery.
Will it roll down?
No — Haramakis are designed with soft stretch and body-contouring fabric that stays in place without digging or squeezing.
They stay put whether you’re:
- sitting
- walking
- working
- relaxing
- sleeping
Can I sleep in it?
Yes — and many people LOVE sleeping in their Haramaki.
Nighttime warmth:
- calms the nervous system
- relaxes the belly
- supports digestion
- helps regulate temperature
- makes you fall asleep faster
It’s like being wrapped in softness.
Why is warmth so important in the postpartum?
Because after birth, your body is:
- open
- sensitive
- vulnerable to cold
- circulating blood differently
- recalibrating hormones
- healing tissues and organs
Warmth supports this process by:
- improving circulation
- brings warmth back to body
- protecting the kidneys
- grounding your nervous system
- helping the womb contract and recover
- giving emotional comfort
- supporting digestion
Nearly every ancestral postpartum tradition uses warmth as the first medicine.
A Haramaki gives you that warmth all day long.
Do I need a special postpartum size?
No — choose your pre-pregnancy size or one size up for extra comfort.
Your Haramaki will:
- stretch to your current belly size
- gently shrink back when placed in the dryer
- adapt as your body changes over the first 40 days
It’s flexible, forgiving, and meant to grow and soften with you.
