Welcoming a new life into the world is undoubtedly one of life's greatest joys, but the journey of pregnancy often comes with its share of discomforts. From backaches to pelvic pain, expectant mothers can face a myriad of challenges as their bodies adapt to the changes of pregnancy. However, with the help of modern innovation, the journey can become a lot smoother. Introducing the Maternity Belt - BellyBack Support Band Brace, a revolutionary solution designed to provide comfort and support to pregnant women throughout their pregnancy journey.
Pregnancy is a journey of joy, anticipation, and profound transformation. Amidst this beautiful transition, mothers-to-be often face physical discomforts, where the BellyBack Maternity Belt Support Band Brace emerges as a beacon of relief. This comprehensive guide delves into the essence of maternity support belts, offering expectant mothers the knowledge to choose comfort and care during their pregnancy journey.
How Does the Maternity Belt Work?
The Maternity Belt is ingeniously crafted to provide targeted support to the belly and back regions, offering relief from the strain and discomfort associated with pregnancy. By gently lifting the abdomen and supporting the lower back, it helps to alleviate pressure on the spine, pelvis, and hips, allowing expectant mothers to maintain better posture and reduce discomfort associated with the extra weight of pregnancy.
Benefits of Using a Maternity Belt
- Alleviates Back Pain: The Maternity Belt's ergonomic design provides crucial support to the lower back, reducing strain and discomfort.
- Supports Abdominal Muscles: As the belly grows during pregnancy, abdominal muscles can become strained. The Maternity Belt helps to support these muscles, promoting better posture and reducing the risk of diastasis recti.
- Improves Posture: With its gentle yet firm support, the Maternity Belt encourages proper alignment of the spine, reducing the likelihood of developing poor posture habits during pregnancy.
- Enhances Comfort: By distributing the weight of the baby evenly and reducing pressure on key areas such as the pelvis and hips, the Maternity Belt helps pregnant women to stay comfortable and active throughout their pregnancy journey.
Who Can Benefit from Using a Maternity Belt?
Expectant mothers at any stage of pregnancy can benefit from using a Maternity Belt. Whether you're experiencing mild discomfort or struggling with more severe back pain, the Maternity Belt offers customizable support to meet your unique needs. Additionally, women who have undergone cesarean sections or are recovering from abdominal surgery can find relief and support from wearing a Maternity Belt during the healing process.
How to Choose the Right Maternity Belt
When selecting a Maternity Belt, it's essential to consider factors such as size, adjustability, and level of support. Look for a belt that offers a snug yet comfortable fit, with adjustable straps to accommodate your changing body throughout pregnancy. Opt for a breathable, lightweight fabric that won't feel restrictive, allowing you to wear the belt comfortably for extended periods.

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2020 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.
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023 It offers a great amount of support and the fabric is very comfortable. I was worried it would be too big, but the straps are adjustable even for a smaller stomach. It really does help relive back pain and I’m glad I gave it a shot!
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024 I love the support this band gives, it also doesn't constrict my belly when I sit like other bands have. It stays in place, and is comfortable enough for me to wear all day at work. Really high quality
