Belly Bandit Upsie Belly Pregnancy Support Belt - Comfortable Pregnancy Abdominal Band for Lower Back & Hip Relief - Soft 12" Adjustability Fit with Anti-Dig Closure - Black, X-Large

This product is amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about it. I am 34 weeks pregnant and this is my 3rd pregnancy. Throughout the end of my 2nd pregnancy I could barely walk without excruciating pain. I later found out that I had SPD (moderate to severe pubic bone pain due to the spreading or separation of the ligaments in the pubic symphysis area). During my second pregnancy my sweet husband bought me several prenatal massages to try and treat the pain, but the relief only lasted a day or two at best. I was hopeful that maybe with this pregnancy I would be okay, but for the last few weeks I've been in agony again. And once again we were looking at massage therapy to relieve the pain. While waiting for my ob to return from delivering a baby so I could have my biweekly check up, I decided to go to a nearby spa and see if they could fit me in for a prenatal massage that day. Given their proximity to an ob's office, they have a lot of products catered to pregnant women. As I began describing my pain to a spa employee, she whipped out one of these belly bands and suggested I give it a try. She measured my belly and suggested I try on a medium (I am 5' 10" and 200 lbs and measured 42" around my belly). It was INCREDIBLE. The relief was immediate. I was absolutely stunned, walking around the spa with absolutely no pain. I was thrilled... until she mentioned the price. $70?? I was sure I could find something cheaper that would work just as well. So I called my local Babies R Us and they assured me they had a vast selection of belly bands for me to choose from. So after my ob check up, I went to Babies R Us and tried on a few bands. None of them really helped, but I decided to go ahead and purchase one of the cheaper ones. I figured any support was better than no support. After I got home I strapped on the cheaper band and gave it a test run. After nearly an hour of wearing the cheaper band, I realized how wrong I was. Not only did it just not support my belly, but it would roll up on itself and then it would be digging into my back and sides. My husband ultimately insisted that I return the less expensive band and he ordered this one from Amazon. And I am SO happy he did!! I have worn this belly band for 2 days now and I feel almost normal; no pain, just bigger around :D If you are wondering if this is worth the price, let me reassure you, IT IS and then some! I spent around $200 during my last pregnancy trying to find this kind of relief. I wish I could go back 3 years and give myself this band and save myself $130. As far as the complaints about the Velcro not working after a few washes, it makes me wonder if they are following the washing directions. Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry. If they were washed in a machine that could damage the Velcro. I imagine using any type of fabric softener might do that as well. I have only had mine a few days though. I will update in a few weeks. ***UPDATE*** I used this successfully through the end of my third pregnancy and it was a life saver! I had no problem with the Velcro losing grip. My band saw me through the last 6 weeks of my last pregnancy. My sister ended up borrowing it for the last 2 months of her last pregnancy (she has a shorter torso than me and struggles with carrying babies for a lot longer before it becomes a problem for me). She said it was great and asked if she could borrow it her next time around :) I am pregnant again and am relieved to know that I have this ready and waiting as soon as I start to need extra support. I love this product!!

If you are carrying multiples, you MUST get this belly band. It's expensive, but worth every single penny. I'm currently 7 months pregnant with twins. This band keeps my electric right-side round ligament pain away, and helps keep my long "get off your feet" evening contractions at bay. I'm usually a size Medium in pants, a size 8/10 dress size, so ordered a Black Large-sized band at about 5 months along. *I recommend sizing up!! This band carried me up until exactly 28 weeks, when I started noticing the velcro not sticking very well (specifically the female non-scratchy side.. it looked like it was combed out with no more fluff for the velcro to grab onto, which makes sense given the daily usage.) In a panic (if you've ever had round ligament pain, you can relate!!), I ordered the White XLarge-size. Note: If you're a singleton Mama, this band may last you longer than what I have experienced. With multiples, our tummies grow double-fast, so once the weight started packing on it was time for an upsize and new band. I wanted to test the efficacy of the velcro on the white compared with the black, due to another highly-rated review stating the white was lower quality. So, drumroll.. It's great and equally as awesome as the black. Both are sticky, both relieve pain, and both hold up this gigantic tummy carrying two babies. A double thumbs up. Pros of the black: I found wearing the band over black maternity yoga pants (Ingrid & Isabel from Target make nice capris) feels very comfortable. And the black band blends right into the pants, which is nice. Pros of the white: If you wear a light colored, thinner fabric dress or top, white would be less visible. But when you hit the third trimester, it's really tomatos tomahtos. Before my belly got large and I could fully appreciate this band, I tried the AZMED Maternity Belt. This $25 band is great for early on when belly weight is minimal. Huge pro here is that it's nude. The AZMED band itself is thinner also, so it doesn't have the band-ridge along your back, like the Belly Bandit. It's not a deal breaker, but the Belly Bandit is pretty obvious under a thinner-fabric dress, especially when you get larger and those once-flowy maxi dresses start becoming a little more body-hugging. ; ) I try to go back and wear my flowy dresses wearing the nude AZMED, but always ALWAYS end up getting terrible round ligament pains and contractions after an hour or so. Where, the Belly Bandit keeps me supported all afternoon. Comfort over discreet fashion at this point. I tell ya, Belly Bandit is the way to go! It's a blessing!!

This is a great quality belt. I've researched a lot of the available belts out there before settling on this one. Although a bit more expensive than some of the others, it had a lot of great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. The belt is super soft and is easy to put on. It has a built in pocket and comes with an insert that can be heated in a microwave or frozen like an ice pack, great for those back muscle aches! The brochure that came with it says you can turn the belt around after your baby is delivered and use the heat pack to soothe your belly muscles as you heal. I'm a pre-pregnancy size 10-12 and ordered the L size. It fits great so far. I got it at about 23 weeks and so far at 29 weeks it still fits good. My doctor recommended getting one to ease my pelvic pain and back pain. My back pain is practically non-existent when I wear the belt, however it doesn't help my pelvic pain at all which is why I took one star off the rating.

Der Gürtel hat mir meinen Alltag erleichtert. Ich kann ihn nur empfehlen.

Exactly what it says on the tin plus you get a cold/heat pack

I wish I’d had this for my first two pregnancies. It doubles or triples the time I can comfortably stay on my feet. Very comfortable. Pricey but worth it. I sized up and am glad I did.

With my 3rd pregnancy developed pelvic dysfunction syndrome at 20 weeks. As I already own a belly bandit wrap and didn't not hesitate with the price to purchase this band to support the growing belly. It still relieves a lot of pain and allows me to go about my business. Highly recommend!

J’ai fait confiance au premier et seul avis donné pour cette ceinture, et j’en suis ravie !! Enceinte de mon 3ème enfant et à 7 mois de grossesse, je commençais à mal supporter le poids du bébé, le ventre était très lourd, le dos vouté par le poids du ventre et en plus des contactions dus à un déménagement sont venues se rajouter. Dès que j’ai commencé à porter cette ceinture je me suis sentie soulagée je n’ai plus eu la sensation de se ventre lourd et tombant, la ceinture maintient parfaitement et sans bouger. L’emprise de la ceinture sur le dos est parfaite et soulage vraiment le mal de dos, quant aux contractions, je ne sais pas si c’est lié, mais je n’en ai plus. Je recommande vivement cette ceinture même si elle est chère c’est un confort indispensable au quotidien ! Sachez aussi que l’on peut glisser dans un emplacement sur le dos de la ceinture un patch fourni avec.
