My OB recommended a support to help with my inguinal hernia pain. I was was working full time and on my feet 8 hours a day all the way until delivery and this support saved me! It was excruciating to work without this support. The best part is it pulls up over the belly so you are not tugging at it to keep it up but you don't have the over the shoulder straps like some supports. I started wearing it at 6 months and the same one fit all the way through delivery because of the adjustable straps. It washes nicely in the washer, no need to hand wash. Don't dry it because it'll be a little tight the next few times you wear it. Very comfortable to wear- well worth the money!

My pre-pregnancy size is 6-8. I ordered size Medium of this belt, it was very very tight on my thighs. I returned it. I would go for only a belt not that style of short/underpant with belt cuz this one is a bit bulky and a problem when u use the bathroom more frequently specially at the last trimester.

I don't know what the designer was thinking, but they need to go back to the drawing board. I am almost always an extra small in all garments, but I figured I would be safe because of the extra pregnancy weight and ordered a size medium. I couldnt even get it past my hips, the opening was so small (and not very elastic). On top of that, the material was not very soft. I would look elsewhere.

I started using this in my 6th month of pregnancy. I definitely liked the pelvic support and felt more energized wearing it. However, the velco straps in the back would dig in after a few hours, so I would tuck a camisole in under the girdle. I have thick thighs, and the lace at the bottom would dig in too, so I would use an extra long camisole. As far as pregnancy girdles go, this is probably one of the more comfortable ones, and does provide good support, but does need probably looser elastic at the thigh and better lining.
