2-in-1 Hip Bandit - Adjustable Maternity Belt & Postpartum Wrap - Belly Support Band for Pregnancy, Hip Compression After Birth - Detachable Band for Back & Core Relief

I've had this less than 24 hours but already wish I'd purchased sooner. Out of the box the belt/band is pretty stout. The elastic fabric is sturdy and very supportive. It has heavy-duty velcro which I like, and it appears to be fairly high quality. Some have likened it to an ace bandage, but I'd say it's like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of ace bandages...I wore this while sleeping to help alleviate some of the discomfort when I roll from side-to-side, and the pain I feel when I first roll out of bed. It worked immediately and the discomfort was greatly reduced. I'm wearing the band to work and it feels supportive, but maybe a little restrictive when sitting from where it's placed. I like it though and really do wish I'd purchased this sooner. I have not been suffering from back pain so am not sure if it truly would help with that. I'd say for $40 it's worth a try.

I’ve had this thing on for all of an hour and I am never taking it off! I never had any problems with belly support with my first pregnancy, but I am seven months pregnant with my second and I was getting pretty nervous about how I was going to make it through the next few months. I’m carrying this baby way out front, and at this point I couldn’t walk a block without feeling like she was about to fall out, lol. As she has started gaining weight more steadily the ligaments in my groin have been getting strained and moving has just been the worst, I just want to sit on the couch all day. I just strapped this baby on (pretty skeptically, I’ll be honest) and oh my goodness, I should have gotten this weeks ago. Doing things like walking and squatting down are already like 50% easier and I don’t feel like I’m dreading moving. Can’t wait to give this a whirl during a full day at the office. If you think you need this, you probably do, and it does actually work!

Scratchy band but great support. I lived in this my last trimester but would take it off after a couple hours because it would dig in a bit!

Has worked wonders for me. I am currently 9 months pregnant and still working but I cannot work with out it. I am an Optometrist so I walk, stand, sit, walk, stand sit, all day. At 7 months my lower back was hurting so bad that I had to try something. I had put this 2-1 hip bandit on my registry in hopes to use it for my post baby body but I had to just buy it myself. I am so happy I did. The only problem is my big belly makes the band curl in the front which makes the velcro stick to my clothes and has messed up one pair of leggings, but that is because my belly pushes it. So I just have to be careful when I wear it with nice pants. Great buy!

I started wearing this during my morning and evening commute from work/home early in the second trimester. By the end of the second trimester however it was just not enough support. would constantly roll up in the back, which prob didn't help the support and overall just got uncomfortable. When I had increased abdominal pain, even when wearing nearly all day, I needed a different more supportive band. Purchased a better band from a different brand and no more pain! Disappointed that it did not last for 1 entire pregnancy considering the cost.

Omg in my second trimester, I started getting lower back pain and the pressure on my pelvic region (honestly felt like on my actual vaginal bone) was CRAZY. I vented to my pregnant friend who was a little bit further along than me, and she told me this saved her life, so I bought it right away. It’s so supportive! I would hate going on walks with my husband because of the uncomfortableness, and then the first time I wore this belt around the bottom of my belly, I was like !!!!! LIFE CHANGING! I was so comfortable, my pelvis area pain was totally non-existent and my back pain went away! I started going to the gym to stay active and I wear it to the gym too now. It’s the best thing. If you have back pain or pressure on your nether regions, definitely get this. It’s worth every cent.

Tried this and it just didn’t work for me. Really pressed on my belly causing baby to constantly push on the band making it uncomfortable for me as well as baby. Unsure if it’s just because my belly is reallly low or what? Looked bulky with clothes as well.. I ended up returning it. Unsure if it’s ok to have that much pressure pressing on my belly and push on baby? I was just not comfortable over all with it. Might be a better fit if your carrying baby higher and band isn’t resting on baby??? Just wasn’t for me as much as I wanted it to work.

I’m 27 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing pretty bad lower back pain (I suffered from sciatica pre-pregnancy) and my midwife recommended I try out some belly support bands. I read good things about Belly Bandit and ordered a couple variations to try out. I kept them both, but prefer this one because it can be adjusted. I wore it on our trip to Disneyland where I walked about 7 miles and it was a miracle worker for me! It helped keep the weight off my lower back and while I did have to adjust it a few times (it tends to fold a little bit after awhile), that was not a dealbreaker. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a good belly support band!

I'm using to help support my belly on my last trimester. I've only had it for a few days but I've noticed already a huge difference. My belly feels more supported and my back appreciates it. I hope to use it after the birth to help with my post partum figure. I would recommend this product.

Life saver! This belt really helped my pelvic pain while I was busy walking around, working. Can dig a bit when you sit but I usually just wear when standing.

Holds my belly very well and feels really comfortable.Recommended!!1
