Motif Medical, Pregnancy Support Band, Relieves Pressure on the Abdomen, Lower Back, Hips, and Pelvis, White - Large

The Velcro didn’t last the whole pregnancy. By the end it wouldn’t stick.

The boning in the back is uncomfortable. I am short, so have very little torso, and it was uncomfortable for me. Also didn't do anything to support my belly. My first pregnancy, I needed a belly band for my hips, but in reality it was more of a sciatica belt. I bought it at a maternity store, and it helped me walk the last two months of pregnancy. This current pregnancy I need more belly support, basically a belly sling, and this doesn't do it at all. It is too thick or wide to be a good sciatica belt for my hips, and as far as belly support, it just folds up and slides down. I was a size last year and a size 14 this year while pregnant, and my belly still needs the support. I couldn't believe it didn't do either, support my hips or my belly. Just useless for me. My OB provided me with a more helpful belly sling in office, and my surrogate mom happened to have a sciatica belt which has helped with my hips. I have to wear them both together to get the proper support.

I used my belly band everyday being pregnant once my belly started getting big and heavy. The Velcro stuck well and it really took the “weight” off my back. I saved it and will use it again for my next pregnancy!

Pros, it’s great quality. The material is actually comfortable and relatively soft. Cons, I’m a plus size girl with a figure, and I’m very petite with a short torso. This DOES roll where my curve is because of how wide the back band is. Because of that I don’t feel like I’m supported as much as I could be and I don’t really feel much of a difference. Also, if I adjust it, it just gives me a giant muffin top. So wearing it out unfortunately isn’t practical unless I’m rocking super oversized clothing. So although I got my appropriate size, and it DOES fit around my belly, even more so than I need, it still rolls and that’s very uncomfortable.

Supports well!! I ordered it a little bigger then current size due to how big I tend to get and I’m only 20 weeks, but it still supports very well! Looking forward to having this do the support I need for growing belly!
