Jill & Joey Maternity Belt - Belly Band for Pregnant Women - Back Brace & Belly Support - Pregnancy Must-Have - Back Pain Relief (Beige, Medium)

If you are currently pregnant you NEED this belly band. I am a hairdresser on my feet 10 plus hours a day and the back pain from pregnancy has been hard to deal with. This band takes the pressure off of my back and truly helps carry the weight of my belly. It’s super comfortable to wear throughout the day and the Velcro works so well so you don’t have to worry about it slipping or coming undone.

I wish the fabric was softer, but boy does this help relieve lower back pain. The instant I put it on, I felt major relief. 10/10 recommend.

It works well and provides support, while fitting flatly under my clothes. The only downside is that I've only worn it regularly for a month or two, and the soft part of the Velcro is already coming out, which makes it a bit hard to remove. I had hoped it would last well through the pregnancy!

Didn’t think it would do much but I have loved it! And great for the price.

Unfortunately it just doesn't work as well as I had hoped. I was hoping it would relieve some of my muscle aches but it seems to make them worse rather than better. It's pretty comfortable and seems well made, just doesn't really help. Was planning on returning, but didn't realize I'm past my window.

I bought this band to have something immediately for support. My back was sore but mostly my low belly, hip and pubic area were killing me after a few hours of walking. This was just at the end of the first trimester, so I wasn't even bursting yet. I walk a lot for my work (nursing), and I needed something to help keep me on my feet the entire day. I was thinking I would buy several Belly Bandits to replace this "temporary band" once they arrived.Surprisingly, this belly support was way comfier than I thought. It immediately gave me the required support and alleviated my aches and pains. Together with an electric blanket that I use at night, I was able to get through the early growing pains with no issue.This band is comfortable, easily bends and shapes to your body (and belly), has enough stretch and elasticity to add as much or as little compression you'd want, and it's cheap. It stays put no matter what you do: walking, bending, sitting, even yoga. The velcro has enough strength to hold you in no matter how tight you want it to be. Compared to the Belly Bandit 2-in-1 Bandit, I actually prefer this band due to its comfort and soft texture. The 2-in-1 bandit digs into my hips and back when I sit, doesn't stay put if I bend or sit, is made of rough materials and doesn't conform as nicely as this band. It is also twice the price.The 2-in-1 bandit was such a disappointment that I immediately returned it the day I got it. I will just be getting 2 more of this bands then I won't have to worry about laundry days.The Jill and Joey band isn't very tall so it's perfect for petite women or women with short torsos. I feel like the Belly Bandit ones are made for taller women, which explains why the bands dig into my thighs/hips/back. I also got the Upsie Belly, which is made of softer material, like the Jill and Joey maternity belt. I kept that one for when I get bigger and is comfortable albeit a bit too tall for my short 5'5" frame. It can dig into my back when I sit if I don't position it precisely. And lastly, I also got the V-sling from Belly Bandit, which is made from soft neoprene. I also kept that due to the possibility of pelvic pain in the future. One may use it solely as a belly band, but it doesn't offer a thick/tall area for the belly so it doesn't offer much support in that region compared to the Jill and Joey.For washing belly bands, don't forget to close up the velcro side so it won't ruin your other clothes.Overall, I enjoyed this purchase. The quality, comfort, and pain relief it offered surprised me. And it really works! I recommend it to people who walk often with the occasional sitting and bending. It's soft enough to even do yoga with.

So Comfortable, currently in my 3rd trimester and this belly band has helped me out so far. So flexible, I love how it's also breathable too. I started to have lower back pain and the pressure from my belly and so happy that this band has helped me throughout my day.

I am 5'2'' and currently almost 24 weeks. At this point, I can no longer lounge on a couch, sit back in a car, or get ultrasounds on my back. After about 3o seconds I will become yawny, light headed, tingly and airy feeling in my fingers and head, and then get a headache. If i dont move or change positions I will pass out. This is due to the baby putting pressure on my vena cava in my back. On top of all that, by 4 in the afternoon the days bloat and weight has taken its toll and i feel 950 lbs and like 900 of it is hanging over my stomach area. I knew I needed a support belt. I had one with my last pregnancy which caused this same kind of stuff around the same time. I had a different belt, a bit bigger and with like boning in the back. I wanted something this time around that wasn't so bulky.I got this today and put it on immediately.1) Ah yes the feeling of being supported... its pretty instant. once you pull the velcro in and secure it it is like instant lift.2) it does not help my back issue. I wasn't sure it would, but was hopeful. Unfortunately it does not. nothing will fix that other than being on my side.3) I was kind of hp=oping for the frontpart of the band to be a bit narrower. its the same width all the way around, and most of us need the lift from the under belly up. I dont need hal m stomach covered and pressed in. It doesn't show in the pics i attached, but later I did adjust it so the back part was way higher up to give it more of an angle and get under my belly more.4) It helps take in my love handles and hips! score!In the third pic i attached, i drew dotted lines to about where my belly came out to prior to putting on the belt. Baby was not happy at first, but has since seemed to calm down and settle into his new spot. Sorry BB.... but you dontget to hang out down there anymore lol. I do feel bad like maybe hurting him or restricting him in some way, but then i remember how hard my sonographer pressed into my belly during a fetal echocardiogram and if that didnt hurt him, this definitely doesn't.
