I am 5’2 and 164lbs, in my 3rd trimester with baby #2, and this is so much more comfortable than all the other belly bands I’ve tried. I love that you can make it go over the belly button too! Being that I had diastasis recti from my 1st pregnancy and in this second pregnancy I learned that my belly button tissue is thin in an area (trying to prevent an umbilical hernia), this is nice to counteract that pressure I feel while still getting the support needed. I love that it does look smoother under clothes verses other belly bands too. Read more
This belly band was so helpful during my first pregnancy, I had to write a review. For a plus mom and non- runner its great for everyday wear. I was able adjust as needed and did not experience any folding or rolling. It alleviated a lot a pain and I am back to purchase two more( one for everyday use and the other as a backup) as I am expecting baby number two and lost the first fit splint purchased. I tried so many belly bands before finding the Fit Splint via an Amazon review. This is the best of all the belly support products I tried due to the width of the band, ability to adjust to suit the desired tightness/support and durable fabric. I love it and would recommend to all expecting moms. Read more
I tried several different maternity support belts, and this has been the best one, as far as the amount of support, ease of use, and comfort while wearing. Other reviewers are correct: it does seem to run small, but it also stretches out over time. It's just a race to see whether your belly grows as quickly as the fabric stretches! I wore this splint from about 25-35 weeks pregnant and jogging 5-20 miles/week. After 35 weeks, I gave up jogging, but I continue to wear it to the gym to lift/use the elliptical trainer, because it makes me feel more comfortable and aware of my movement. I can't honestly claim any physiological benefit. I recommend wearing a thin shirt or even a wide belly band under the belt, since sweat can become irritating between your skin and the Neoprene surface. I am glad that this splint stays in place--I haven't had any issues with it shifting around--and it seems to be "cooler" than the others I've tried, not as sweaty, at least. Also, it doesn't get as smelly as I thought it might. I usually wear it several times, air-drying between uses, and wash in a laundry bag once/week (and air dry again). I'm content with this purchase, though it seems a bit pricey for the quality. Still better than the other four I've tried! Read more
I bought three different pregnancy support belts. The first one provides a ton of support and is great for doing projects or when I'm hurting, but it isn't comfortable for everyday use or when sitting. Because of that, I started looking for lighter-duty support that wouldn't dig in to my sides when sitting. I ordered the BabyBellyBand first, then a few days later saw someone with the Fit Splint and decided to compare the two. The Fit Splint is a few more dollars, but is way better. The material of BabyBellyBand is just not as nice as the Fit Splint and it doesn't conform to the roundness of a pregnant belly as it is a straight piece of material, causing there to be more pressure close to your belly button than at the bottom of the strap. The Fit Splint has two straps so you can make the lower one tighter than the upper one to account for your curves. Additionally, because it has two straps, it can be worn a variety of ways and is a way better value, IMO. Read more
My physical therapist recommended this. I teach, so I stand for hours on end. This helped save my lower back and feet from hours of pain. Noticeable difference when I didn't use it. Comfortable and not too noticeable under loose clothes. Read more
This is, by far, THE most useful item I’ve purchased during my pregnancy. I ordered a medium, and before pregnancy I weighed 130 pounds. My current weight is 156 (at 35 weeks pregnant). I wore this for running up to week 30, and it significantly reduced bladder pressure and round ligament pain. I wear it for walking now, or sometimes just because! It sort of pulls my heavy baby belly “up”, lessening my muscle aches and pains. Also, the company was great; I returned a large easily and repurchased the medium. It came quickly, too. Read more
Highly recommend! Great support during HIIT workouts as well as simply walking 10+ minutes. It’s not too hot either (FL-summer-tested), and washes with the rest of my clothes. Flexible but highly supportive, adjustable, easy to take on & off, durable, and doesn’t slip around. Definitely worth the price tag! Started wearing around 17 weeks, still wearing in 3rd trimester.

Im glad i took a chance on this product. Read more
