4.0 out of 5 stars comfortable and supportive, February 8, 2004

This belt was purchased for my third pregnancy. My midwife suggested a maternity belt because my abdominal muscles are not as strong as they used to be. She believed using one would help to avoid allowing the baby to malpresent. Since I was thinking of buying one anyway (I had a lot of back discomfort with my second child's final trimester) her urging was all I needed.
I am so very glad I got this belt. It is quite comfortable, and has really helped relieve my backache. The first two days made my back hurt more, as my muscles adjusted to having the support they needed. The difference in comfort level between this pregnancy and my previous two is remarkable. Also, since this baby was a partial transverse (laying sideways) AND a frank breech (legs folded up in front of it so the butt is presenting) before wearing the belt, I am convinced it did play a role in having the baby move into its present vertex (head down) presentation.
The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I have to remove it every time I use the "facilities". But that is a minor annoyance well made-up for by its benefits.

4.0 out of 5 stars awesome!, November 30, 2003

This review is from: Mom-Ez Maternity Back Support - Belt (Apparel)

This is an awesome product. I'm carrying twins, so the load is unbelievable - my twins are at least 2 pounds each, not counting the placentas and amniotic fluid of each. I'm quite small (5' 2"), and it was such a relief to put this on. I felt like I was being gently hugged and my back no longer hurt. So why did I give it only 4 stars? Because the velcro near the front would rub against the sensitive skin of both my thighs, right at the crease. It hurt, but I just put a pair of my husband's socks to cushion it. It's heaven sent, so I don't really mind the socks. It adds to the cushioning in front, around the belly. I highly recommend this! Definitely worth it!

I was 5 months pregnant with twins when I found this support. I had just been put on a week's bed-rest from round ligament pain, and I had seen this item in a flier in the local pharmacy before I was on couch arrest. I decided to give it a try- and within minutes after I put this thing on, I could feel the easing of the pain in my abdomin, my back & my hips. I am now 31 weeks pregnant, and this has helped me stay mobile. I have noticed that if I wear this brace during the day at work, I have less back pain & less stomach pain from the weight of my boys. I have found that if I wear it while shopping, I can stay on my feet longer and with much much less pain during & when I am done shopping. (although now I am so big, I don't go shopping much except on line!) It doesn't fix the entire problem of back stress & round ligament stress- but it does help. Also, in the model I have, it has a pocket in the back of the brace that I use to put re-useable ice packs during the day, if I am aching more than usual. It could probably be used for the re-useable heat pads if a person preferred.

Only drawbacks to this item is that the velcro patches can scrape & scratch the belly & legs. The borders where the velcro is stitched to the fabric tends to curl outward a bit, and the hook part of the product also pokes through the hem of the binding. (This is even after washing & drying the belt as recommended-- the drying being by air only) For the most part, if you wear the support over clothing, it fixes this problem & it is reasonably comfortable. It can get hot to wear if you are pregnant through the summer, but again- the ice packs helped.

All in all, if you are miserable & aching-- this is a good product to purchase & try. It might help- and since it is a support brace, it could be tax deductable depending on your tax circumstances. If it doesn't work for you-- there is always an option to return it within a reasonable amount of time!
