Pregnancy support belts are wide re-enforced fabric belts designed for support and comfort during your pregnancy.
The Lola Lykke maternity band is the most supportive belt available for pregnancy. It comes with reinforced back support and its double-layer design with two adjustable compression straps that helps lift up the belly and support the back. A handy hot/cold pack sits neatly in the back pocket to alleviate back pains.
Like shapewear, pregnancy belts work by ultimately compressing the body, so it's important to find one that fits properly and is fully adjustable - always make sure to try a maternity belt on before you buy or check the returns policy., says, "Maternity shapewear that is too tight and puts too much pressure on the body is never a good idea. If you have trouble breathing, or you're in pain while wearing your shapewear, that's a sign that it's probably too tight for you.
In addition, prolonged use of a maternity belt can lead to reliance on it for support, which is counter-productive. Instead, focus on developing your own core strength to support your bump and only use a pregnancy support belt as an extra aid. Other criticisms of using maternity belts range from fastenings such as Velcro and poppers irritating skin or clothing, and regular adjustments throughout the day being an inconvenience.If you're apprehensive about splashing out on one of the above products, you can give yourself some support using a homemade pregnancy support belt out of a scarf or sarong.
