It's been about a month since I ordered the belly band and the groin straps. I was originally looking just for the groin support and after some research I decided to give this product a shot. Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to the band around me. I really dislike bulky gear and I thought it'd be uncomfortable. This is my third pregnancy and I never wore these things before, but the varicose veins in my groin area this time around are much worse and made me look for the solution. I ended up ordering a medium in both products to be on the safe side in case I gain more weight. I am 5.7 and I was 130 before pregnancy.

Let me tell you, after a few days of wearing it I stopped noticing anything "extra" around my body. All I felt was pure comfort and support. I was hooked. The only thing, I realized after some time that Medium was too big for me. My total velcro overlap on the band was about 11 inches. And my groin straps were attached all the way on the upper back on the band and in the front I have to stretch them all the way to my hips. It still worked, but I knew how the company made an emphasis on the proper fit and I e-mailed them directly.

WHAT A GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! They didn't hesitate to exchange it for me directly through their company with a pre-paid envelope to return the medium band. And they were kind enough to allow me to mail them my medium AFTER I receive the small one so I don't have to be in pain, because at this point I can not imagine not wearing it every day. I was hesitant about the price first, but it's worth every penny! I divided the price by the number of days I'd wear it and it's less than 50 cents a day!

Thank you to the creator and staff of this company for inventing it and making sure things are the way they should work with the customers. If I could give more than 5 stars to the product and the seller, I would!

This belly band has been a godsend! I was having horrible pain when walking and doing most things. I think I have SPD and my pelvis/pubic bone keeps shifting and pinching when I walk. I'm a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. I would not have been able to work 12 hours without this. It is a pain when needing my to go to the bathroom, but worth it. It's made of a neoprene type of material and it causes you to sweat a lot. I have washed it multiple times in the washer and let it air dry and it has held up well.

I bought this at 26 weeks pregnant when I noticed some swelling down there. The doctor said it was just pressure from the baby, as it's my third and he's probably going to be a big boy (I did not have these symptoms with my other two). I was skeptical of the Belly Band because of price, but now I'm 30 weeks and I am so glad I purchased it. As the baby continues to grow the pressure has gotten more intense, and if I don't wear the belly band I feel extremely unsupported and like I can barely move. I must mention the added small groin bands are the ones that make all the difference for me, it's basically vaginal compression. Two thumbs up.

I compared other maternity belts and this works better for me. I have pelvic groin pain, symphysis pubis disorder, and it has helped. I also use compression leggings with it. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I never had this issue with my previous pregnancies so I was stressed out looking for a resolution. And I'm glad I came across this item. I also like that it is black colored so it isn't so obvious that I'm using it.
I can see how the Velcro can wear out the material with constant wear. I'm scared the groin bands may get too stretched out soon. I've only used it for 1 week. I'll update after a couple of weeks.

This is an update: I've been wearing this product for about a month now. It is starting to get stretched out and the Velcro causes the material of the belt to get messed up. Now that I try to use it, the groin straps cause the belt to fall lower of the area I need it to be at.

This is Wonderful product and I would not be able to function without it! I have two inguinal hernias that are caused partly from hereditary genes and partly pressure from my 4th pregnancy, This is my second belly band because I used a medium with my 3rd baby (5'10, 138 lbs. pre-pregnancy) and it did wonderful, but now with my 4th pregnancy, I really need a tight fit to put pressure on my hernias. Both really do a good job of supporting the pressing pain caused from the hernias, plus I am able to wash one and wear one. I did have a small glitch where my new, small groin band's Lycra material ripped, and the material on the outside frayed. I immediately called Cabea, at Babybellyband and Caroline was more than happy to send two replacement groin bands with no hesitation. I am very pleased with the customer service and belly band! So thankful for having this comfortable belly band that has increased my quality of life! Mother of three- ages 7, 4, 23 months and 6 months pregnant!
