Carriwell Maternity Support Band

I ordered a Carriwell maternity support and the sizing wasn't even close. I followed other customer's suggestions to go a size larger but even then it was too tight. I'm in the process of an exchange for a larger size. So far I've just had to pay a few dollars to return it... I'm 10 weeks pregnant, not showing much, normal pant size around a 4, 5' 1" tall, and around 103 lbs. I ordered the Medium and am exchanging it for the Large. Since the Med. was already snug on me I knew that it wouldn't work for when my belly gets bigger. The product was good quality and unlike the belly band from my first pregnancy which is all stretched out this product seems like it will hold up better esp. since it is shaped for a growing belly in the front of it...

I have worn my Carriwell bands nearly every day since they arrived and love them. I'm glad I have a total of three bands now so I can wash them without going a day without support! They gently support my back and belly and dramatically reduce the pain I was experiencing in both areas. This is my third pregnancy and I wish I had them for the first two! The slight downsides are that they put a little extra pressure on my bladder and they can roll a little at the bottom if I am sitting for a while; however, both of those "problems" are easily remedied with a quick trip to the restroom and are only minor discomforts.

Great bang for your buck! The size is not accurate though,-I'm 5ft2", 17w pregnant and weigh 104 pounds, I bought the S (which supposedly equals a 6-8), I must say that this fits me really tight around the hips, at the end of the day it's like taking your work shoes off. Minus the size, I gave this 4 stars because of the hemline quality which seems to unravel on top and bottom. But for this price, and the support -you can't go wrong! This band really does support the belly and helps with hip pains.

I got this because I have an umbilical hernia that I wanted extra support for until I can get it fixed postpartum. I wish it could give a little more support, but I don't know how it could without squeezing too hard or being uncomfortable. It fits fine and mostly does what I expected. I'm not sure how much help it gives to lower back since mine has been hurting, but I think that is just the start of third trimester kicking in.

As a pregnant mother with a back injury ( 4 ruptured dics) I knew I would need a support band. So originally opted for your standard white back support w the velcro band. Hated it. It was wayyy to much pressure on the nerves on my back. I came across this one and decided to give it a try. I LOVE IT !!! It's just the right amount of pressure just where you need it. And has enough belly room. And discrete. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!

Reasonable price for the quality. I bought 2 kinds: this one in black and the Belly Bandit in nude because of colors. Both small and this one looks extremely smaller than the Belly Bandit one. But both fit the same which was suprising. Belly bandit is a little more pricey but it includes a travel size palmer lotion and it is also a better quality. Love both!! Great support for my second pregnancy.

This product has been a game changer in my pregnancy. I was suffering from muscle pain in my lower back and under my belly. Once I began wearing this support band I have not had any more discomfort. It is lightweight, yet sturdy. It is invisible under my clothing so no one can tell I have it on. It is amazing. My only wish is that I had discovered it earlier in my pregnancy.

I bought this due to my OB doctor saying I needed to wear a support belt since I have been having problems with nerve issues. I bought this and even the first day I wore it I noticed a big difference. It helps support your back and also help hold the belly up. It stays in place and never rolls down, I would recommend it to any mom. It really was worth the money!
