I wear these to either gym or running errands. I love how snatched and snug they make me feel and aren’t see thru, especially as a mom who’s bending over all the time!
These socks are beyond comfortable and functional, and serve their purpose as well. I love the fact that they provide well distributed compression and the top does not suffocate the rest of your leg. It fits comfortably right under your knee.
I have debilitating SPD in pregnancy, and it's much worse the second time around. It's caused by my SI joint dysfunction. This brace completely stabilized my pelvis and helped me get back to my normal daily activities. Truly amazing!
I am currently 28 weeks pregnant with twins and have had major swelling and vulvar varicose veins. With my job I'm on my feet for most of the day, so without the v sling, I was walking around in constant pain. This v sling gives me the support with no pain and has been a total game changer. I wear it every single day, including at home when I'm standing or working on other things. Do not hesitate and just buy it! I'm so grateful I did. Worth every penny!
I'm 19 weeks into my second pregnancy now, so I'll try to update this after more time to change size.
In my job, I both stand for long periods and have to sit with my legs in a dependent position, and I'm already getting tired feet and have a righteous varicose vein. It receded completely after my first pregnancy, but now it's larger and in-charge-er than it ever was before. These provide so much relief and do an excellent job compressing my unwanted squiggly companion. They feel like they physically lift me up to be lighter on my feet as I walk.
As the other reviews say, they are some work to put on, but relative to what I expected, they're not THAT bad at my current size. The instructions are very helpful. We'll see how this changes with getting bigger. I did size up from what my measurements indicated, and I'm glad I did- these still seem to compress perfectly. They were a little long on the first wear, but after a wash and tumble dry, they're the perfect length. The waistband is secure, sits nice and high over the belly, and has some additional room that I think will accommodate a near-full term bump very well. It does create a little bit of back muffin top, but you know...pregnancy.
For reference, I'm 5'8", nonpregnant weight 148 lb, currently about 13 lb up with already a decent sized low-riding bump and some extra pregnancy body fat mainly in my back, legs and hips.
I had an emergency c section and this compression really helped with my c section shelf. It was also very comfortable on my incision & gave the right amount of support.
I'm pregnant with twins and the extra pressure and pain on my pubic area has been excruciating. I'm also dealing with a swollen labia due to increased blood flow. I purchased this belt to wear at work, as I'm a custodian and on my feet a lot. It has been a game changer! I can walk around with no pain and I feel supported and held up. I need this more than a belly support band! Worth every penny! Get one!
The best nursing bra! Love the support and soft feel of the fabric and how easy it is to nurse with.
Followed the size guide and ended up w a M, I'm a true XS outside of pregnancy. Bought at 33 weeks when the pelvic/low back pain was really showing up in earnest, still fitting great at 37 wks. I definitely notice benefit when I use this, using it as much as I remember to when I go out walking or when I need to stand for awhile washing dishes or cooking or whatever. This + supportive arch shoes make a difference! Nothing will take the aches & pains away completely but it does help. Haven't done the cold/hot pack yet but it's only a matter of time lol the weather is getting warm and cold pack on my back sounds really appealing so I should give it a try.
These pants are a great way of keeping it all together while still maintaining mobility and comfort, they feel and look great!
Helped significantly with my pain and discomfort- I will recommend to any mama
super comfortable and smoothing. Less supportive than lulu or alo bike shorts but provides the right amount of support to wear under dresses.
I've been wearing my band since day 1 after delivery. It has been a game changer in feeling "together" in this postpartum period.
Nice fabric and easy to access boobs for feeding that leaves your midsection covered while nursing
I did not have a c-section; I ordered these because I couldn’t find anything on the internet for postpartum that looked like this. I wanted a certain type of material and compression.
I think this is perfect for the first 3 -4 weeks of postpartum, after that, it didnt do anything for me due to it being lose. Because it only has one level of clasps, you can’t make it tighter. I ended up ordering a Colombian faja from Amazon that is sooo good!
The top part of it does roll down, I was constantly having to fix it and adjust it which I didn’t mind majority of the time; but due to its design it’s obvious it will roll down.
I got the size large, because I didn’t want this being too big on me, and it was perfect! I weighted 210 when I gave birth, and reached pre-pregnancy weight of 180. This held up great.
After giving birth to our 4th baby, I knew I wanted some compression leggings to help my body feel like my guys weren’t hanging out of me. They were the right amount of support for two-three weeks before I moved to a faja. Only reason I moved to a faja was because the compression portion over my belly was getting loose which was an indicator that I needed something tighter.
When I gave birth I weighed 210 or 205 pounds, after I gave birth I went to 180 pre pregnancy weight; I ordered a size large and they were perfect. Not too tight and definitely not too loose:
I used this literally the next day after birth in recovery. It gave me back and core support to just sit up and go to the bathroom. I am 3 weeks post and still using it. I feel much stronger and my stomach is stringing daily. Breastfeeding also is playing a role in my stomach retracing but this band helps a lot. 10 out of 10 recommended
Leggings offer great compression, wish they would shape the butt better but overall these are great!
I just got mine in the mail, tried it right away. Instant back relief! Thank you belly bandit
These socks save me through my last 3 pregnancies! I have worn them so much especially in the last trimester they are a game changer and the compression is so good from the forefoot all the way to the calf. I have tried many other socks for this purpose and none compare. I am now wearing them as I am pregnant with my 4th.
The material is less soft than what i thought, so not suitable for exercise. I like the compress level for the belly, i feel it slides down sometimes when i try to move around, the waist part feel stiff when I try to bend.
This is my second purchase of these leggings. They are so soft and hold you in all the right places with comfort.
I put these on about a week post partum and they were not big enough. Two weeks later they fit very well. My husband likes them and theyre comfortable and supportive. I like how high the waist is.
