I am not pregnant. I had several operations which left me with a swollen abdomen. In fact, I look 6 months pregnant. So I ordered this mini cradle to help hold my belly and help my back. It works better than I anticipated. My back and belly pain were signifcantly reduced. I told my surgeon so he could recommend this cradle. Even a man could use it as he doesn't have to go in a maternity store. I give it 5 stars out of 5.

I am 7 months. I have been having back pain for a while and wanted to try the Mini Cradle. I read the reviews and decided to purchase it. It was too big and was uncomfortable. I sent it back. I'm sure it works well for most pregnancies, but not for me.

I bought one of the more expensive belts and hated it. The velcro got stuck to my clothes and the excess flap had nowhere to go so just hung there. I returned it. This product is great because it uses hooks (like the ones on your bra) and the excess is tucked behind the belt. The belt also has 3 levels so you can adjust it. I was having horrible pelvis pain and this belt has essentially eliminated that pain. I feel so much better. The belt is very comfortable and I forget I have it on. I highly recommend this belt.

I am currently 32 weeks and my baby has been sitting low for a long time. I needed something that would help and my be-band wasn't enough. I ordered this product based on the reviews and the awesome price. I figured if it didn't work I would just return it.

The band works great, I have been using it for several days now without my band and it still supports me fine. I'm glad I ordered a size up too because I wouldn't of had much latch room. I currently weigh 170lbs and got the medium despite the pre-pregnancy pant size.

With my last pregnancy I had twins and I had the "Best Cradle". However it was not adjustable at all. That's one thing this belt has over more expensive models. It has three notches. It does not roll up on me unless I place it too low on the belly. (It rests on your actual belly people, not below it. Just look at the photo.)

Anyway, I took this on a trip to Vegas and it was FANTASTIC. If I felt it was too tight after like 5 hours of wearing it, I just loosened it one setting. I am wearing size 12 pants right now and I have a size SMALL belt. I think SMALL is best for most women. I am using the middle notch setting 90% of the time and I usually take it off if I sit down in like a restaurant, etc.

Anyway, I ordered this belt because of the price and I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I love it. Also, I like that a belt keeps the baby up higher and I have had great relief of my crotch pain. (I was really hurting before I got this thing. Seriously. It's SO gone now.)

I would have paid more. :)

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and my doctor recommended a pregnancy belt because the baby is riding low and the pressure may increase my risk of pre-term delivery. She said just a simple elastic belt should suffice, so I went with this simple and inexpensive option. I like that it does not have velcro. It closes with 3 bra style hook-and-eye closures. It has three different spots on the band that it can hook, giving you a decent range of band sizes. Luckily, I saw the product's size chart listed on another review which I will repost here for you:

Petite: Pant Size 0-5, Current Weight 90-135
Small: Pant Size 6-12, Current Weight 136-180
Medium: Pant Size 13-18, Current Weight 181-225
Large: Pant Size 20-28, Current Weight 226-270
Note that the pant size is your pre-pregnancy pant size.

I am currently about 167lb, was pre-pregnancy about a 10/12 and I purchased the size Small and I have to wear it on the outermost hooks. I would have gone a size up if I wasn't so far along, just to have room for growth. It is pretty comfortable, I forget I'm wearing it most of the time. I have only had it a few days so I can't say how well it holds up, but I only have 8 weeks left of my pregnancy. As long as it holds up that long, for the price I paid I'll be happy.

This item gives great support while I'm up and on the go but it's not so comfortable while sitting down. I give it 4 stars because it doesn't quite explain sizes very well. Although it does run a little small, I think this item is pretty great. I am very happy with it! =]

This was very small and as I wore it the Cradle moved up my body as the day went on. I recommend spending $30+ and getting one that has a support for the back and a strap that goes over the top of your belly to keep it in place. The only one I could find was not carried by Target, [...].

I am 29 weeks pregnant and my husband bought me this belt to help relieve round ligament pain and sciatic pain on my right side. As soon as I put the belt on I noticed a difference. I haven't worn it for extended periods of time, but for the past 5 hours I have felt great relief!
