Upsie belly by Belly Bandit

Product Description

DueSoon recommendation:

We recommend this belt for women experiencing mild to moderate lower back pain. This belt offers moderate support to the lower back region, but does not have side pulls for gaining that little extra support you may like. It has a pocket for a warm/cold compress (compress included) and the bamboo outer fabric is antimicrobial and moisture wicking making it suitable for women in warmer climates if wearing this belt against the skin.

While we wouldn’t consider this maternity support belt to be as effective as a regular postpartum belly wrap, you can use it post birth to provide light support and warming/cooling relief to your post baby tummy. Simply spin it around so that the pocket (with the compress) is against your belly. Because it has a Bamboo outer (which is moisture wicking and anti-microbial), it is also great for post c-section comfort.

Upsie Belly overview:

Upsie Belly features SecureStretch materials. This fabric composition means that the Upsie Belly will more effectively mould to your  particular body shape with just the correct amount of tension. This also provides good support and a secure fit to your lower back. The  Upsie Belly also has a unique soft-front closure which allows you to move about freely, without the belt digging in or being uncomfortable.

Features:

• It can help minimise pregnancy stretch marks – by relieving a drooping belly
• Provides prenatal back and abdominal support – allowing you to maintain a more active lifestyle

• Helps to increase circulation and blood flow
• Provides extra support to your hips – important for stabilising your hips with extra relaxin now in your body
• Helps to reduce the risks of developing varicose veins, hernias, and haemorrhoids

• Can be helpful in post hysterectomy recovery (please first check with your doctor)

When wearing this belt, take care not to let the velcro closure catch on the Bamboo fabric, as it can pull the threads.
