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

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 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!!

I purchased this belt during my second trimester when I started having intense back pain. I did feel like it helped. The material is very soft against your skin. It's not very bulky, but you could definitely see it under a semi-fitted top. I didn't have issues with it riding up, but it did come up to a weird spot on my back that sometimes caused a little muffin top in the back (and I don't have a fatty back). The big issue that I had later in my pregnancy was that the scratchy Velcro part was too tall from top to bottom. When I would wrap it across to secure it, the rough Velcro would extend beyond the part it was fastening to, thus digging into my skin. I don't know if the belt became stretched out or something, but I was bigger at that point in my pregnancy, so it shouldn't have mattered. All in all, I was happy with this product because I was desperate to relieve my back pain. It enabled me to continue to work comfortably even later in my pregnancy. If they could taper the Velcro part some, it'd be nearly perfect.

J'ai testé 3 ceintures de grossesse. C'est celle-ci la meilleure. Elle apporte un vrai soutien et épouse parfaitement la forme corporelle. Le tissu fait avec la matière naturelle est très doux au toucher. Je la recommande fortement.

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

Tester c'est l'adopter! A mon 5ème mois de grossesse j'ai commencé à avoir des douleurs ligamentaires qui m'empêchaient de rester longtemps debout. Cette ceinture a changé ma vie et les douleurs sont beaucoup moins vives. Ce produit est un peu cher à l'achat mais vous ne serez pas déçus.

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.
