Belly Band Seamless Maternity and Postpartum Shirt Extenders, Cotton, X-Large - Black, Heather Gray and White, Pack of 3

I am 19 weeks pregnant and purchased these to wear with my scrub pants for work. We have hospital scrubs we have to change into. Today is my first day wearing it (almost 12 hours in) and I must say it is extremely comfortable and fitting! It has great support for my belly and allows me to wear my pants below my belly without having to worry about covering it because this does the job. I am in that in between stage where the smaller pants are just too tight and the next size up are too big, so this band help support my waist area with extreme comfort.

I have purchased these for myself at the request of a colostomy that has herniated 2 times. I had 4 surgeries for this problem and felt necessary to search further to prevent it from happening again. I got an opinion from a Dr. that it may be wise to put a layer or two over the stoma to keep it safely inside while still allowing it to excrete. Just got them so waiting for a GREAT outcome...I hope!

I didn't like how these fit when I was still pregnant but I like the fit better now that I'm postpartum. I probably should have ordered a size down because they aren't as tight or stretchy as I wanted but they do offer support in the post-csection belly, making me feel more secure as I move around (2 weeks after surgery). My pre-pregnancy size was 2xl, these are xl and too loose but I imagine large would have been too tight, lol.All in all, I like them though.

I purchased these bands for myself. I had a similar band for my first pregnancy but it was borrowed and in no longer have it. I am currently 20 weeks with my second and due to my constant nausea I ordered the x large bands to avoid having them too tight. I haven’t had a chance to wear them yet for an extended period of time but I tried them on and the material is nicer than I had anticipated. There is plenty so I feel coverage won’t be a problem and they have good stretch. I can see myself wearing these into postpartum too just because they do give support and they seem really comfortable. I am 5’11 and about 190lbs. I typically wear medium pregnancy clothes but due to my height I sometimes wear larges. These bands can cover the gaps though so more of my mediums will now be wearable!

I use to get my belly bands from target and mine doesn’t sell them. The ones I use to have had like rubber at the bottoms to help keep them in place. These ones don’t have that so they ride up from time to time. The one thing I HATE is it rolls down in the back at the top. And it starts to become uncomfortable. But they are soft and when I can them to stay I love them.
