Belly Bandit 2-in-1 Hip Bandit - Adjustable Maternity Belt & Postpartum Wrap - Belly Support Band for Pregnancy, Hip Compression After Birth - Detachable Band for Back & Core Relief

I’ve had this thing on for all of an hour and I am never taking it off! I never had any problems with belly support with my first pregnancy, but I am seven months pregnant with my second and I was getting pretty nervous about how I was going to make it through the next few months. I’m carrying this baby way out front, and at this point I couldn’t walk a block without feeling like she was about to fall out, lol. As she has started gaining weight more steadily the ligaments in my groin have been getting strained and moving has just been the worst, I just want to sit on the couch all day.I just strapped this baby on (pretty skeptically, I’ll be honest) and oh my goodness, I should have gotten this weeks ago. Doing things like walking and squatting down are already like 50% easier and I don’t feel like I’m dreading moving. Can’t wait to give this a whirl during a full day at the office. If you think you need this, you probably do, and it does actually work!

Omg in my second trimester, I started getting lower back pain and the pressure on my pelvic region (honestly felt like on my actual vaginal bone) was CRAZY. I vented to my pregnant friend who was a little bit further along than me, and she told me this saved her life, so I bought it right away. It’s so supportive! I would hate going on walks with my husband because of the uncomfortableness, and then the first time I wore this belt around the bottom of my belly, I was like !!!!! LIFE CHANGING! I was so comfortable, my pelvis area pain was totally non-existent and my back pain went away! I started going to the gym to stay active and I wear it to the gym too now. It’s the best thing. If you have back pain or pressure on your nether regions, definitely get this. It’s worth every cent.

This product was like the description said. I bought it when I was 25 weeks. My hip size is a size 4 during pregnancy (size 2 prepregnancy) and the xs/s fits well. Would probably fit you're like a size 6 but not sure about the belly growth. I think this size would fit throughout the rest of my pregnancy but I only used it for a short while since I started getting back pains. I thought this was supposed to help my back pains but it didn't help to relieve them. Perhaps the Upsie Belly would've been better had I known my back pains would be bad. When I would wear it around my shirt, the band wouldn't hold in place and would slip constantly. Wearing it straight on my skin was comfortable and didn't move as much. Hoping this band will be helpful post-partum.

I’m 27 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing pretty bad lower back pain (I suffered from sciatica pre-pregnancy) and my midwife recommended I try out some belly support bands. I read good things about Belly Bandit and ordered a couple variations to try out. I kept them both, but prefer this one because it can be adjusted. I wore it on our trip to Disneyland where I walked about 7 miles and it was a miracle worker for me! It helped keep the weight off my lower back and while I did have to adjust it a few times (it tends to fold a little bit after awhile), that was not a dealbreaker. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a good belly support band!

I started wearing this during my morning and evening commute from work/home early in the second trimester. By the end of the second trimester however it was just not enough support. would constantly roll up in the back, which prob didn't help the support and overall just got uncomfortable. When I had increased abdominal pain, even when wearing nearly all day, I needed a different more supportive band. Purchased a better band from a different brand and no more pain! Disappointed that it did not last for 1 entire pregnancy considering the cost.

I wear this belt almost every day, all day long. I had hip issues before becoming pregnant (my ligaments are naturally a little loose, and my hips are more easily injured/come out of socket than most people). Since the start of the second trimester, I have had a terrible time with my hip joints and ligaments due to them being extremely softened and unstable.I use both parts of the belts in an overlapping fashion around my hips, and it holds me together and gives me stability. I have been able to start doing yoga again while wearing these! Before, I couldn't even lift my left leg to the side at all due to the pain.I would highly recommend this to anyone with similar issues with SPD/PGP.

I've had this less than 24 hours but already wish I'd purchased sooner. Out of the box the belt/band is pretty stout. The elastic fabric is sturdy and very supportive. It has heavy-duty velcro which I like, and it appears to be fairly high quality. Some have likened it to an ace bandage, but I'd say it's like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of ace bandages...I wore this while sleeping to help alleviate some of the discomfort when I roll from side-to-side, and the pain I feel when I first roll out of bed. It worked immediately and the discomfort was greatly reduced. I'm wearing the band to work and it feels supportive, but maybe a little restrictive when sitting from where it's placed. I like it though and really do wish I'd purchased this sooner. I have not been suffering from back pain so am not sure if it truly would help with that. I'd say for $40 it's worth a try.

Tried to use in the beginning of my third trimester for lower back, hip, pelvic pain. It may have worked but I never lasted long wearing it. I found it hard to line up the Velcro just right that it wasn’t rubbing on me or catching on my clothing. When trying to wear it at work with scrubs it was made me more hot so it never worked well for me. Wish I had returned it.
