Belly Bandit wraps and garments help address various post-pregnancy needs through the use of medical-grade compression. Proprietary fabric helps shrink the belly, waist and hips; adds support to the upper body during breastfeeding; comforts the midsection after a C-section; and accelerates the healing process.
I’m 5’3” with pre-pregnancy weight 135. I found that other pregnancy shareware was too high (the top would overlap with my bra). These sit just below my bra line and the thighs do not roll.

Damaged Fabric - 1 time wear
I guided my size based on the chart (Belly Bandit). After wearing it for the first time, the fabric ripped. I wore it only for a couple of hours and was sitting the entire time. Very poor quality material.

Belly bandit shorts
While I like support shorts these are not exactly strong to support, and they are not the same in nude as they are in black. Nude ones are shorter in length. Also the fabric is softer and stretchy. The upper thighs are covered so there is no rubbing. I wore them in a hot tropical area, they helped so much with the sweat. Better to use them under little dresses.
At the beginning of the pregnancy I felt like this item was whatever but now I like them more because it fits better with an expanding belly. I wish I had gotten 3 of the same so I don't have to be waiting for it while they get washed. It launders well on delicate setting just hang or dry flat.

perfect for shorter torso and doesn’t roll up

Comfortable AND Supportive
By far the best maternity shorts I have tried. I love that they're soft and comfortable, but also have support and light compression. I'd say the sizing is mostly true-to-size but just a tad on the small end. Great for wearing alone or for extra support under a dress/skirt. Definitely a must-have for expecting mamas!

Very comfortable!
I tried both these and the Spanx' maternity shorts and definitely preferred these. While they don't necessarily suck you in, they just smooth everything out and keep everything "in place." The portion of fabric over the belly is very thin and has a lot more stretch than the rest which makes them very comfortable. I wore size M at 6 mos. preg (5'4" currently 165 lbs.) and they fit great - hoping to wear them the remainder of my pregnancy.

Obsessed
So comfortable and supportive. I wish I had a pair to wear everyday. Great maternity shape wear that I wear under dresses. I also wore the black ones as “biker shorts” with a tank top on a 90 degree day- not see through.
