GABRIALLA Pregnancy Belly Band - Strong Support, 8" Wide, Made In USA

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I've been having bad hip/groin pain. This belt really seems to be helping, I've had it now for 3 days and my end of day pain in greatly reduced. I was worried about fit so I want to give as much info about that as I can for others looking for size info. I was a size 16/18 when I first got pregnant and I have barely gained 15lbs in my pregnancy. This belt in size XXL is a great fit with plenty of extra space, I probably could have gotten away with an XL. This belt is NOT uncomfortable to me, it doesn't dig into anything. It does squish my fat in ugly ways but hey I wasn't getting it to make me look sexy. It serves a purpose and i think it doesn't that well. All these 1 star reviews because it's tight and not for plus size are BS. I'm for sure a plus size and it's just fine. I would have a concern about fit if I was maybe a size 26.

I am 21 weeks with my third pregnancy, plus-size, and trying to keep up with my exercise. I have been experiencing ligament pain when walking on the treadmill 3x a week, but nothing when doing my weight training routine. I wanted to keep up with my cardio, though and started trying out maternity support belts. I tried three others before this and was extremely unhappy and experienced more pain with others. I asked the question of the others who purchased this about whether it woudl help and received very quick, experienced answers. I decided to purchase this and have been so happy that I did so. I can comfortably walk on the treadmill at a normal pace for me and not experience the ligament pain. This is a great purchase. I wore size 16 pre-pregnancy and wearing L-XL in pregnancy clothing. The XL was ok, a little tight, so I exchanged for the XXL since I have awhile to go and that was the right decision for me. I don't wear this sitting down at all, only to exercise standing up. I'm very pleased.

This is has been a life saver for my unstable pelvis, pre-existing back condition and struggle with poor posture from growing baby. I had another band that I was using by my doctors recommendation. It was significantly smaller width and did not have the girdle style bones that this product has. I was suffering from severe and debilitating pain that made it impossible to walk. Within a day of getting this product, I was able to finally get some relief from the pain and two weeks later almost pain free. This definitely holds your weight where it needs to be. It's very good quality material and doesn't require a lot of adjusting like other straps do. Very comfortable and breathable.Being plus sized and pregnant can be very painful on your musculoskeletal structure. I highly recommend to any plus sized pregnant woman purchasing products with straps (belly bands, bras, etc.) that you get wide straps. The wider, typically the most support and life you will get from the product.

I bought this support belt when was about 6 months pregnant. I wasn't too big yet but my stomach feels like it's going to explode so I bought this to see if it will help. It does help a lot, for a while. The design has several flaws that made me stop using after a while. First, the stretchy adjustable flaps have the hook (rough) side of velcro and are quite a bit wider than the loop (soft) side, so when velcro is closed/attached the hook side snag more area than just the soft side. That additional area get ripped fairly quickly (I think after just a month of everyday use). Another more problematic design issue is the length (or size) of the belt. I was probably about 8 months when the length of the belt is not long enough to go around me anymore. But that's precisely when I need the support - when I got big!! It did provide strong support while it works (it has metal wire/strips inserted), but it didn't work for long. All in all, I will not recommend this support belt.I also bought the Loving Comfort Maternity Support belt from a brick and mortar maternity store. This one is a little better but still not great. One can definitely use it from early pregnancy til the day she delivers. It's a two-piece (well, three piece, but one piece is just a strap that I felt does nothing) design that has plenty of room for adjusting. One piece, the loop side, goes in front of stomach. The other piece goes around the back, the two ends has the hooks that attach to the loop at the front. One can close the ends very near each other (when stomach is still small), or, close the ends very far from each other (when stomach is big). It's complicated to put on and take off, however, and that's one thing I didn't like. Another issue is that it provides medium support at most. It does not have metal wire/strip inserts. It's quite stretchy and doesn't hold up the stomach enough. I pick this over the Gabrialla, however.

This thing was a literally a life saver from months 6 to 10 of pregnancy. I would not have been able to do anything at all during those months other than walk around the house for the bare necessities of life if it weren't for this thing. It made the sciatica and bloated whale feelings of pregnancy something that I could cope with. Before we got this, I was literally crying in pain for hours on end every night no matter what exercises or stretches or drugs I tried. The fit was great for a plus sized person also. I was a size 24 and weighed 213 pounds at the beginning of my pregnancy. I got a size XXL and it fit from the day I received it to the day I delivered. EXCELLENT INVESTMENT

I wore mine pretty frequently because I had issues from standing on the bus and train on my commute to work. It helped to take some of the strain off of my lower back. I already have a swayback, so pregnancy just added extra strain to my back. It didn't completely take the pain away, but it definitely helped to ease it. I know that some buyers said that they suggested to not use it if you sat a large part of the day, which i did. I didn't have any discomfort unless I started swelling from too much food. I did notice that it would slip downward if i was walking more than a block or so. It would've been nice if it came with the support strap that lays across the top of the belly, but it's certainly not necessary. I recommend this to moms-to-be if you're plus size and having back pain at any time during your pregnancy.

Me and my husband were looking for a product like this because my lower back has been constantly having dull achy pains when I am standing or walking for long periods of time. I am 5 ft tall and the pressure of my growing belly around 7th month (1st pregnancy) made the pain worse.Fortunately, this product has helped me tremendously with those low back pains. It provided the support I needed which is mostly around the hips and lower back area. I would highly recommend this to any pregnant lady who is also having the same problem as I am.My only concern is the sizes, they do not have a consistent size details. You would notice this when you browse through their product lines. I initially ordered a Size medium because that is what I saw first and when the product came, it was small for me. But dont worry as they have good return policy, I was able to exchange mine and the product came in just 2 days.I suggest sticking to the sizing guides on this product that I reviewed for the CORRECT size guide when choosing your item. This is the accurate one.

This belly band provides great extra support for working out with a pregnant belly. Very happy with it. Don't get white if you can help it though, it starts to look dirty quickly. Most comfortable if worn over clothes.

Helps a bit, but seems also to cause the back pain to move upwards. Great product, but obviously not a complete healer!

This belt saved me while I was pregnant. It was the only thing that helped my back pain.

Great product.
