 most uncomfortable and bulkiestJul 12, 2010
I purchase the belly bandit because my cousin recommend it. This product by far the most uncomfortable and the bulkiest ever under your cloth. I do not believe people wear it outside their homes. it definitely shows under your cloth in an unflattering way and once you sit down, it bulks up and create creases. I do not recommend this product to anyone. As an advice, in case you decide to buy this product against all, check the return policy, in my case i did not and I was stuck with this product because the company does not give other than partial refund. Good luck all

 Worth Every Penny!!!Jul 06, 2010
I researched and read a million reviews before purchasing the Belly Band It - stop reading everything and just do it. This is like the majic pill we've always dreamed of. I have been using the belly band it for the last 2 1/2 weeks after the birth of my 2nd child and the results and absolutely amazing. I am down to a size 4 already (was a 2 or a 4 before pregnancy). Not only has it done wonders with the tummy, but the support to my back is worth every penny. I started using it the day after delivery and my VERY aching back got immediate relief. I absolutely suggest ordering 2 sizes. I am normally around 120 - 125 lbs 5'4" size 2 or 4. I got a small and an extra small. I barely fit in the small to begin with, but was out of it by the end of the first week and moved on to the extra small. As for some of my worries based on the reviews I read... yes, they do bunch, which is a bit annoying, but the company website explains that this is to allow for proper movement (bending over, picking up your munchkin and feeding them, etc.) and I can understand that. width - being too wide for your belly, totally don't get this at all, I am not long waisted and I actually would like it a tiny bit wider. Showing under clothes: put the closure on your side, it hides it much more. Flipping it around in different ways and moving the enclosure helps with the bunching too. As for comfort, as I mentioned it has greatly helped my back, but I won't lie - it's not the MOST comfortbale thing in the world (I highly reccomend spending the extra $$ on your 2nd size and getting the bamboo one, it's MUCH softer) but HELLO IT"S MAKING YOU SKINNY AGAIN. I would much rather have a little minor discomfort, perhaps have a tiny line under my shirt than have my belly fat hanging out or spending hours and hours and hours at the gym (especially when I don't even have a minute to spare!). Seriously, just stop reading the reviews and order this product. It's worth EVERY penny. I am THRILLED to have found it. It has made the body recovery SOOOOOO much better this time around. Wish I had it for after my 1st pregnancy- and I will tell everyone preggie woman I meet to buy this ASAP!

 Not worth it.Apr 13, 2010
This belly band is WAY overpriced for how much you can actually use it. Within a couple weeks it was almost too big, which had the effect of just digging into my hips and upper ribs (did they forget that women have natural curves?). I ended up getting a belly band from the hospital which is soft and can be worn for a LONG time. I had twins and a c-section. The Belly Bandit was very uncomfortable on the incision site. The hospital band was much softer, fit while I was still in the hospital and still fits my much-smaller waist now. Much more versatile.

Disappointing for sure!Mar 11, 2010
This product is foremost very uncomfortable. It is stiff and as someone mentioned, the sizing is 'iffy'. If you're short or short waisted, the one 'width' band does NOT fit all- it either rode up into my breasts or else it bent at the bottom and rode up every time I sat or bent down.
The fabric is so stiff, that it really doesn't hold things in tightly- it hold me in at hte top and bottom but since the fabric doesn't 'give' I bulge out in the middle which is where we all really want to be held in.
The return policy is bacially NOTHING. Once you purchase it it cannot be returned, only exchanged- which does you no good if you don't like it.
And finally, I hated that the product came in a box with thier BIG LOGO and desciption on it. I'm not into my mailman and everyone else knowing what I"m ordering.
I would NOT order this again. I finally went to an ace bandage wrapped around me, and it worked BETTER and was WAY more comfortable. Save some $ , go to the drug store and buy a wide ace bandage for $5. YOu'll thank me.

Works, but not soft enoughJul 19, 2009
I have worn this type of item for four kids. After my fifth, I spent more on this band thinking spending more meant better design. The original is not comfortable for me. The fabric doesn't have enough give and it was way too expensive. I encourage everyone who is thinking about the concept to find something like this and use it...because it DOES work!! The only child that I did not wear one with, I was sorry, my stomach did not recover nearly as well as it did when I work a belly wrap. The first one I just bought at Babies R us.
