Works great if you get the right size!
This pregnancy, I had a hard time finding a maternity belt that had actual back supports, too....plenty that appeared to, but they were just extra material, not real splints built in like this one.  Unfortunately, only Large was available when I purchased, and it was too big for me to get any true benefit out of it, except the times I used a strap from another belt to cinch it up, but then it was all clumpy and uncomfortably rigged.  But during these times, it did lessen my sciatic and pelvic pain a great deal....So I know if I'd had a medium, it would've been perfect so I still gave 5 stars.  When it arrived I was 190 lbs and only gained 22 more, so didn't &quot;grow&quot; into it....though I'd read other women were about the same weight and it worked great.  I have a long torso being 5'10&quot;, and it came up much higher than others in a good way, though personally I'd of liked another couple of inches up the back.
Rating: 5 stars
