Belly Bandit V-Sling Pelvic Support Band - Maternity Belt that Helps with Pelvic Pain Relief During Pregnancy - Easily adjustable for Maximum Support, L-2XL

I had really bad vulvar varicosities during pregnancy and this saved my life. The pressure of the straps between my legs alleviated so much pain. I wore it 24/7. It says not to machine wash - I did. Then laid flat to dry. The velcro started to wear out after 4 months of constant use, but absolutely got my moneys worth.

In my second pregnancy I got vulvar varicosities and it is incredibly painful. I could barely stand it and had almost no relief. Then I bought this band and after wearing it for a few days, my varicose vain pain was non-existent while wearing the band, and far less when not wearing it! I am thrilled with this product!! I'm giving it 5 stars because it does work so well, but I will say I wish there was a size between the small and large. The small is just barely too small for me, and with the large I had so much extra band that I had to wrap around myself. That really annoyed me at first, but after using the product for a few days, I didnt care anymore because this band brought me so much relief!! If you have vulvar varicosities, buy this! I waited because I didn't believe how much it could help, but it worth every penny!

I am 5'6" and 128 pre-pregnancy and 146 now at 28 weeks. I wore this on and off for the last few days. I have a varicose vein somewhere running from the front of the pelvis under the right buttock to the back that causes me a lot of pain the longer I stand and walk around. This is my 4th baby and I'm 28 weeks. I've been dealing with the varicose vein pain for the last 2 months, and it makes daily life harder.When I put this on, I didn't feel immediate relief, but it did prevent the pain from getting worse. Also, when I put it on in the morning and stood for 5 straight hours helping at a garage sale, I did not feel any pelvic pain from my varicose vein.Therefore, I conclude that it actually does support the pelvis and can prevent pain in the pelvis from varicose veins.Style wise, if you want to wear on top of your clothes, you can wear it on top of black leggings and then put a dress, skirt or long shirt to cover it.In the photo I pulled up my long sweater, which hid the band quite well.I am giving it 4 stars because it's quite expensive, and it can't really be worn under anything but loose fitting clothing unless you simply don't care about how it looks on you.Also, the more times you take it on and off to pee, it tends to bunch up a little at the Velcro where attached in the back. This requires some readjusting sometimes to eliminate little bumps in the band where the back straps attach.Also, it is difficult to sit in it. I feel too much pressure in my pelvis and can't sit up straight in it. To drive or sit down, I usually remove it by pulling it down like underwear.Update at 30 weeks - I seriously do not know how I would make it through the day without this.I used to have to sit down or strap an ice pack to the front of my pelvis every hour because of the varicose vein pain.Now, I don't need an ice pack at all as long as I wear it all day.I have been wearing sometimes on top of regular underwear, and it does make me sweat more, so I change at least once a day.Other times I'll wear black leggings and a long shirt that covers by bottom and it doesn't show.

I bought this for support after my double inguinal hernia surgery. It didn't do a lot for me. I hope it works better for others.

I’m super disappointed with this belt. After reading the great reviews, I really had high hopes for this. I suffer from really bad pelvic girdle pain while pregnant, and this belt did nothing for me. It’s super uncomfortable and not practical at all. You have to undo all the straps every time you go to the bathroom, and we all know that during pregnancy, that’s pretty often. The belt slides down constantly, so I don’t get the support I need. Also, Amazon continuously sent me the wrong size and not what I ordered so I ended up having to order it from target to get the right size. Very frustrating when I’m already dealing with pain, waited so long for this belt, and then it did nothing for me. A regular pregnancy belt gave me more relief for half the price, and I don’t have to take it off constantly to pee.

I bought for my second pregnancy and wore almost the whole time. I should’ve bought during my first pregnancy lol. Not that all my pain disappeared while wearing but definitely helped with some relief for my vulva varicosities. So that’s win for me!

I didn’t have high hopes, but this is actually a god send and instant relief.A tad uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it. It’s easy to wear around the house.

The product photos are accurate but this did not work for me at all. It wasn't properly supportive, a pain to put on, the straps tugged the hip belt down, but if it was tighter it was uncomfortable. And it's expensive. I have a rock climbing harness with bells and whistles that is cheaper
