What is the best garment to wear?

4wpo and I'm still wearing the binder that was provided to me immediately after waking up from surgery. Should I have switched to another garment? What are the reasons some switch to a different garment? Is it because others are more comfortable? Or do other garments provide benefits such as less swelling, or a better outcome to your overall shape? I don't mind how the binder feels, I don't find it uncomfortable but if switching to something else will give me better results I'm all in! And is it even worth it to switch at 4.5wpo? Or is it too late? I would prefer something that doesn't have any compression on the thighs but not totally against it if those garments are highly recommended.
