Splint comes in BLACK or WHITE. Pregnant women and new moms should use the Diastasis Rehab Splint during and after pregnancy. The purpose of the splint is to help bring together the two halves of the outermost abdominal muscle (recti) which may separate during pregnancy. The recti muscle is the support system for your back and a support system for your organs. This separation weakens the support system for the back causing back problems and also the support system for the organs causing the mummy tummy. That is why women show faster during their second pregnancy. As a new mom it is also important to wear the splint as much as possible under your clothing especially when wearing a front-loading baby carrier. Fix Your Diastasis. Any mom who still has a mummy tummy from the separation of her abdominal muscles (diastasis) during pregnancy (no matter when she was pregnant) will benefit from wearing this splint. Wearing this splint makes the Tupler Technique abdominal exercises more effective. The 4 inch velcro strip provides a support for the back as well as making the splint easy to put on! Splint should NOT be worn during pregnancy; it may be used to perform the Tupler exercises only. Babywearing Note, Moms with diastasis should never use a front baby carrier without a splint. (source, Lose Your Mummy Tummy by Julie Tupler and Jodie Gould) We regret that this item is not returnable, so please measure carefully. Use the splint in conjunction with the Lose Your Mummy Tummy DVD for best results. How to Measure Your Waist for the Lose Your Mummy Tummy Splint Simply measure your waist at the smallest point. That is where you will wear your splint. Since it is elastic and will be pulled snug, it will automatically go to the smallest part of your waist. For some, that may be higher than your belly button. When you wear the splint, it pulls the two halves of your diastasis together.

Like it!
This splint does exactly what it's supposed to do. I purchased a small, so it would fit tighter. It stays in place well and feels very tight. Does the job and dosn't show thru my clothes.

it works but...
This product is terribly overpriced. $ 50 for a strip of fabric with some velcro? You can make one of these yourself if you have any sewing skills. The velcro wears out after awhile and then the thing is useless. The shipping is $ 15... I seriously doubt it costs Julie Tupler that much money to mail something that weighs less as much as a feather and can be folded up inside of a box you could put earrings inside of. This is just another way to get more money out of desperate customers who hate the way they look after having a baby. If she really wants to help us out she shouldn't be charging so much for her products and taking advantage of us like that.I will say that this thing does work (somewhat) when you do the exercises with it, and mine was great for my back pain. But I am sure that any back splint would do the same trick and cost a lot less. I was able to lose about 3 inches off my waist. Be forewarned though that you will not have a flat stomach again. Sure, there is improvement. The lump I had above my belly button got flatter so that was good. But the lower part of my abs still stuck out, which is also the result of a diastasis. I even got down to 114 pounds (I am 5'6) and my stomach still stuck out. I had a smaller waist with a slightly protruding lower abdomen. Look at the after pics of other women on the Diastasis Rehab web site and you'll see what I mean.Also, just as soon as I stopped doing the exercises and wearing the splint, my diastasis came back. So you have to do this for life. And the splint won't last more than six months top with daily use.The only cure for a messed up stomach after having a baby is surgery.

Decent program
The program is a good program and does work. I was doing it for 3 months and noticed a difference. My separation had gotten smaller. My biggest problem is that 3 months into the program my splint would no longer stay on, especially with movement. The velcro simply would not stick. There was some lint on the one side of the velcro so I thought maybe that was causing the problem. I cleaned each strap but it still would not stick. I noticed a difference in the soft side where the velcro always attached and it was pulled up and just wouldn't grab the velcro well anymore. Needless to say, I was disappointed that I was more than halfway through the program and I couldn't finish it. There's no way I'm spending more money on another splint. It cost enough already!!!

Great Product
I was so desperate after 4 pregnancies my abs were split and I couldn't get rid of the mommy pouch... Even at only 120 pounds I couldn't seem to work it off. After only two weeks I see AMAZING results. I can't wait to get these muscles repaired and into a two piece this summer.
P**D
don't waste your money!!!
Worthless product! Not thick enough, not strong enough to stay in place or accomplish it's intended purpose. There are much better and cheaper designs out there. It says on the package that there are directions inside and there are not!
