GABRIALLA Breathable Cotton Lined Maternity Support Belt, Helps Prevent Stretchmarks & Relieve Lower Back Pain, Best Pregnancy Belly Support Band, Made in USA, MS-96i Black X-Large

I was looking for a maternity belt that I could use while running to take the pressure off of my pelvis since I was in a lot of pain while running in my 2nd trimester. I was a tad hesitant when I placed my order since some of the reviews said it was too heavy and sweaty. My plan was to get this breathable version because I wanted to put it on my skin under my running clothes. I checked my size and ordered the white, medium belt. I absolutely love it! The belt does an amazing job of holding up my stomach and takes the pain off my pelvis plus I don’t feel sweaty or itchy at all with the belt straight on my skin. It’s definitely a larger looking belt with more support but that was what I needed. I’m 32 weeks and have since had to stop running but I still use the belt on my daily walks and it makes a world of difference. It is unflattering but since I wear it under my clothes, it’s not an issue.

I got this belt because of reviews on external sites. It sounded like it would offer the most support, and it has space in the back for a hot/cold pack. It does support my belly and relieve pain, but it is not the most convenient or comfortable to wear as a bigger woman (size 18-20 pre-pregnancy.) If the issues with bunching/rolling and scratchy velcro were fixed the review would be 5 stars.While wearing, the taller sides and back will not lay flat against my body, but instead bunch up and roll down. The belt has velcro in the front and at the ends of two adjustment straps on the sides. These are great to get just the right fit, but unless you have things lined up exactly the edges of the velcro on the side straps will overhang the belt and stick and scratch at you. Trying to get the belt on just right without a mirror is near impossible, which makes public bathrooms a hassle. Also, due to the issues with the velcro and bunching I've found that it's uncomfortable to wear unless it's worn on top of clothing.I recently purchased the Azmed belt as well. The Azmed belt, while it doesn't bunch or have velcro issues, it doesn't offer the same amount of support as the Gabrialla belt. If I know I'm going to be on my feet for an extended period of time (like grocery shopping) I'll wear the Gabrialla, but if it's just a usual day at the office the Azmed is more comfortable.

Third pregnancy and 35th week- couldn't move. Still had 2 toddlers to chase. This helps support my belly so I can at least walk around. Pelvic pain from just ligament stretching and walking- if I lower the band to actually support my pelvis as well, the pain is definitely reduced by 50% and I can make it to the evenings for the long days. Size fits me well - wearing a large maternity now. Not too bulky like some. Only complaint would be that I do have to wear it over clothes otherwise the velcro does irritate my skin, but easy to do over a shirt or over maternity shorts/pants.

I used this between my 6-9 month pregnancy and wish I would have gotten it sooner. I’m a hair dresser and was on my feet long hours and this helped so much.

I purchased this based on recommendation from Runner's World and reviews. I used it for running when I was 7 months pregnant, for walks 1+ hour, and weight training 7-9 months pregnant. I didn't wear it every time to see the difference and didn't notice. My movement was more restricted lifting and it added another layer which made me hotter during cardio. Switching from running to swimming and taking breaks during long walks worked better for me than the belt.

The product was described very well. The size was true to the measurements given. The band is comfortable and allows you to give yourself more less support with the adjustable straps. I used this for running in a 5k, and it made me feel very comfortable as I ran. My round ligaments were still tight after the run but I don’t believe it was because the band did not give support just at 24 weeks, I may of pushed myself a little too much and no band is going to be a miracle band. It’s nice to use when you just need a little more support walking on trails and easy jogs!

Around 20 weeks I ordered a Medium. I'm normally a small and my maternity bottoms are all smalls, but I'm short and my belly pokes out a lot faster than most woman. I wore it 2-3 times to walk/run, and a few times to do things around the house. When standing upright/walking it felt great. While running it helped control ligament pain. When doing chores, it isn't comfortable to bend over in. Yoga would not be comfortable in it. I couldn't wear it past 25 weeks. I'd hoped to get to 32 before it was too small. Even if you are tall and aren't all belly, get a size bigger and you can tighten it quite a bit.

Lower band doesn’t stretch much. Probably best for petite women with smaller stomach/babiesI’m 5 ft 7 in and the XL didn’t help much.

Great product. Ordered this to help alleviate pressure on my bladder when out running. I'm 24 weeks and finding it a good support for running. I don't suffer from back pain so didn't purchase for that. Very quick delivery, would recommend seller.

Used for running - and really supported my back up to 9 months. Highly recommend. Very comfortable.

I’m a nurse and used this for my 12h shifts. Felt comfortable to wear when standing but a bit bulky feeling when sitting (although I imagine that’s unavoidable if you want something this supportive). I like how easy it is to adjust to the exact tightness you want. A little bit scratchy if directly on skin so I’d wear a tank top under it. Feels like good quality. Would definitely last for multiple pregnancies. I’d buy it again.

Have used this to help support the baby while running and hiking since 6 months pregnant. Works well to keep the baby from bouncing and reduces lower back pain and strain during exercise. Would recommend this product.

Excelente para usar en el embarazo, ya que genera un soporte sin ser muy bromosa.
