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

I wore this more after the pregnancy But it did help a bit during the pregnancy. During pregnancy it provided some relief to my back and made it a little easier to walk around with an oversized bowling ball. It was comfortable and I didn't notice any slipping or anything like that. After pregnancy is when I used it more to help hold things back in place. I bought one of those bigger, full abdominal coverage, three adjustable straps kind as well but after putting it on as suggested I couldn't handle the pressure. This provided more gentle ease-into-it support which I really liked. Again, it was comfortable to use, didn't slip, and was easy to put on by myself. Would definitely recommend.

My bump is low and HUGE, and this has been a life saver! The key for me is wearing it backwards with the velcro in the front and stretchy side in the back. I tried several more expensive brands first, and this ended up being the only band that’s actually provided support. It’s helped a ton with relieving sciatica and constant braxton hicks while standing.

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.

This belt is the difference between me being a pleasant being by 4 pm or seriously debating laying on the office floor for the last hour. Its easy to use and helps prevent back pain. 5 out of 5.

I ordered this to exercise in to help support my belly. Pros: I felt like it was fairly comfortable and breathable fabric. It is easy to put on and take off. It is also easy to adjust. Cons: I was using this band to play volleyball (a lot of jumping) I noticed several strings/threads popping. At first it was only when I was playing and then it was popping even when I was just putting it on. I was able to sew around it a few times to reinforce it. Since sewing it, it has held up well. If I was not able to sew it I don't know how long it would have lasted. I am 5'8, my pre pregnancy weight was around 150 and I think I ordered a medium.

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.

Tbh I should have gotten a belly band sooner, it’s really good quality and super easy to put on and adjust. I expected a little bit of a struggle to put it on but it’s honestly not that hard to make it tighter or looser I am also on the heavy set size even before getting pregnant and I feel very supported in my band, a size large works great

There are a lot of options out there and this is the only I’ve tried. I am a first time mom and at 5 months I am popping like I’m 7/8. Got it in the mail today. Super comfy. Struggled to put it on alone as tight as I wanted but was suggested to put it on laying down and it’s much easier. Super comfy no tags or Velcro exposed to rub on skin or itch. I tend to be sensitive to this stuff so that was important to me. Still had usual back pain but my stomach didn’t feel so heavy by the end of the night and there was less pressure on my pelvis/ lower part of my uterus (where my little man likes to hang down low). I am 5’6” and ~140 pounds and typically wear size small clothing. Small wasn’t offered as an option so I got a medium and it fits fine. I would suggest probably finding something else that offers a size small though if you are smaller than me because I had it tightened all the way it goes. But! With being 5 months, I know my belly will grow bigger so I am ok with the medium sized fit.

It was delivered about 30 minutes ago. I put it on and immediate relief from the lower abdomen pressure that made walking almost impossible at 37 weeks. I’m carrying a big baby she’s almost 4 kg . This is the most amazing device 😍🤗😂 I realise support belts don’t work for everyone. I know women personally who it did not work for. So I was hesitant to buy but I’m so glad I did. For me personally so much relief 🥲🤩🚀🤩

i love mine i use it under my clothes when i go out and it for sure helps

Fits nicely. Feels good. Great product.

This didn’t feel supportive at all, wish I saved my money.

I was carrying twins and this band didn’t help relief the pain in my lower back at all. It was not comfortable and it would move.
