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.

This also provides good support and a secure fit to your lower back.
