| Wish I'd had one of these for my other pregnancies! It helps take the pressure off of my stomach muscles and supports my back, so that when I exercise - which is mostly just a fast walk for me - my belly & back aren't killing me. I am short, (barely 5'2") and the baby has nowhere to go but out, so my belly always sticks WAY out when I am pregnant. I am now nearly 7 mo. along, and if I ever forget to put the Belly Band Pro on when I start walking, I notice almost immediately, and I go back and put it on! |
It does the trick!

| THis really helps me at work because I move around so much and my the skin on my stomach is stretching so much as it is. It hold you in and its great for holding up your pants too! I love the thicker back support too. Its not just another beely band. If you are looking for something to help with the aching stomach muscles, this is it. It did the trick for me! |

I bought this product with some reservations because of complaints of it rolling up at the edges. I'm certainly glad I decided to go for it, because it's pretty wonderful! I am currently 27 weeks pregnant, and my back started talking to me at 25 weeks. As soon as I put this band on, my back shuts up! Fantastic! I wear it to yoga and to work every day. I'm a hairstylist, so I move around an awful lot and am on my feet pretty much all day. As long as I'm wearing the band (and compression stockings, and shoe inserts), I go home after a 9 hour shift feeling totally fine. The lines underneath aren't bad, either, and I tend to wear pretty form fitting stretchy clothes these days.
I'm not sure why so many people seem to be having problems with it rolling up. I'm wondering if they bought a size too small? I was a 6 or an 8 prior to pregnancy and seem to be close to the same measurements in the hips still. I ordered a medium. I have pretty curvy hips, too, and rolling up seems to be a problem I have with lots of other products that fit around the hips, even prior to pregnancy.
I'm so excited about this band that I'm ordering another one today, to make sure that I always have a clean one handy. I'm pretty sure that this band will be able to carry me throughout pregnancy and keep me away from those scary old fashioned belts!
(I should mention that I am writing this under my husband's account, since I bought the belt while logged in as him!) |

Works well so far. I've been using it when I road & trail-run. It helped to make my belly jiggle less & take some pressure off my back. I am almost 5 mos preg. I might need more support when the belly gets bigger, but so far so good. The edges tend to roll-in a bit, but didn't bother me. I'm so glad there are products out there like this, for active moms.

| I bought both this and the Bella Band. The Belly Band Pro gives very good support and stays in place. I highly recommend it. I did not like the Bella Band. Not really supportive and always rolled down. |
