 Ignore the One Star reviewers.... to a point. Dec 01, 2011
By Mommy
Before I got pregnant, I wore a size 12-15 jeans (not stretch, actual denim), depending on the brand, so I got an XL. As soon as I opened the box, I thought I should have gotten an L. In the beginning of the third trimester now, and I have to put the velcro only an inch away from the tightest setting. But it still FITS!
Ignore everyone who says it isn't adjustable. That's just a lie. It breaks down into pieces that you velcro together, and there is PLENTY of space to velcro it tighter or looser.
As far as those saying it is too big, it does run a little big. I know I easily could have gotten a size L and it would have fit fine. BUT since I have no clue how big I will get in the next 10-12 weeks, maybe it doesn't hurt to have extra room to grow. I mean, after all, at least the XL does fit on the tightest setting. It's not like I can't use it.
My waist was 44" the last time I measured it in trimester one, and I know it is much bigger now, and the size L says up to 44", I figured I needed an XL. I didn't. So, I'd just have to say to get one size smaller than what the size chart suggests, or it will need to be on the tightest setting.
Also, it IS very tall. I'm 5'8" and it goes from my butt crack to my bra strap. It's very, very tall. This also makes me wish I had gotten an L instead of an XL b/c when I sit down, it is just too big. Since they are SO cheap, I may order an L to wear now and use this XL as a spare for when I am much bigger.

 Great support belt for my wife Aug 08, 2011
By J. Covell
My wife is 5'4 and typically 110-120lbs (don't tell her I posted this)this is our first and she has been carrying low. We walk for at least an hour a day and she is on her feet for several hours at a time for work. At around 30 weeks she started complaining of the "bouncing feeling" and "sore sides" (ligament pain)so I started researching support braces for her. She didn't think they would help, but I figured they wouldn't exist if they didn't help. I read several reviews and had a couple models in my cart weighing the "pros and cons" I selected this model because of price, reviews and the picture most resembled her figure.
Once we recieved the brace it took us a while to figure out how she was supposed to wear it. The curved part is the bottom by the way. The distance around her waist was measured about 2 inches below her belly button and this was accurate, and it fit well with plenty of room. However we do not use the strap over the top because 1.) it is way too long and 2.) the brace holds it position fine on it's own. She wears a tank top underneath it to prevnent irritation, with a loose shirt on it is hardly noticable. We started on our walk and she said it helped quite a bit. When standing at work for long periods of time she will put it on under her professional attire and it helps tremendously. She also recommends Ted hose[...] to reduce swelling.
I highly recommend this product to any guy who wants to help ease his loved one's burden or any mommy to be looking for some relief. :)

I'm happy with this purchase. Dec 08, 2010
By Sarah Orange
I spent a couple of hours researching these support belts after both my chiropractor and midwife recommended I get one. I settled on this one thinking the price was low risk and have been very happy with it. I have had it for almost a month now and my only complaint is that it is difficult to sit in. It really does ease my back pain, the price was unbeatable, and it arrived in a jiffy. I highly recommend.

helpful for back support Nov 03, 2010
By Norma Conway
I am 29 wks pregnant with my second child and have been experiencing a lot of back pain when I have to stay on my feet a lot. I've worn this brace on days when I know I'm going to be standing/walking a lot and it does help. It helps to support the heaviness I feel in my stomach and eases my back. I haven't used the strap that goes on top of the belly so the brace can be used without it. The only down side is using the bathroom! Would be more convenient if it was only one strap. Also, recommend wearing some type of camisole so the belt doesn't aggravate your skin.

Works, but uncomfortable Oct 26, 2010
By Bobolou
I bought this for my wife early in her pregnancy. She started to show early and began getting back pain, so I did some research and thought it was worth a shot. When she got it she put it on and did notice a difference, especially at the end of the day. This hasn't totally gotten rid of the pain, but has made a difference for sure. I give it 4 stars only because if she wears it for hours on end it is uncomfortable and she takes it off.
