• "You can't really wear it when sitting."
• "Every time I’ve worn it so far, I get nauseous."
• "While it offers support I don't think it will relief all the pain if you already have it."

• "I really like how it will be able to expand with my growing bump."
• "It’s like a gentle belly hug."
• "The belly part is a good size, and the belt stretches around my whole body with plenty of room. Super strong velcro."
• "One size fits all belt. Material is a good quality for the price."
• "I purchased the one size option and it fits perfectly."
• "This band is super adjustable so if it’s loose you can always tighten."

Cons:

• "I had to return despite this being the highest rated belly band because the Velcro is so strong I couldn’t un-stick it and every time I tried to put it on it would grab on to where I didn’t want it and then I could not unstick no matter how hard I tried."
• "It only adjusts in the back. I have had to purchase other band due to needing more support."
• "I should have looked into it more but to put it on correctly you have to strap it on the back. It’s kinda hard to get it tight because of that."
• "I am currently 25 weeks pregnant, and obviously have also gained a bit of weight- But wish I had ordered the 'One size' smaller band."
• "It wasn't wide enough to provide accurate support. It just kept falling underneath my stomach and didn't provide enough support."
• "Even pulling this thing to its absolute limit, it's still too large on me."
• "I do think it could be a bit smaller. Pre pregnancy I’m 5’4” and 125 lbs and I think I would have it tighter if it was smaller."

Usability and Practicality

Pros:

• "Easy to put on."
• "It is easy to put on and remove."
• "Very easy to put on and take off."

• "Easy to take on/off and stays put well."
• "It's easy to put on, remove and clean."
• "It provides great support in her third trimester and is easy to put on and remove."

Cons:

• "I had to return despite this being the highest rated belly band because the Velcro is so strong I couldn’t un-stick it."
• "To close the belt, there is one piece of velcro on the end of just one flap so it can be a little challenging to get it to the right snugness and get it fastened without the other flap falling."
• "She does have to have her fiancé help out it in would be the only con to this."
• "Also receiver complained that it hooked in the back and it was just too hard to adjust."
• "My fiance and I, through trial and error, have figured out if I put it on the same way I would attach my bra (wrap the Velcro in the front up under my chest then spin it) I can spin it around before pulling the front out and over my bump until it's sitting underneath the bump as designed."
• "By day 3 it started folding and sliding up. Waste of money."
• "Waste of money."
