Belevation Maternity Underwear, High-Waisted Pregnancy Underwear Made in USA - Belly Support Maternity Briefs

I purchased these, a pair of Bamboo Fiber Maternity Underwear by Kuci, and a pair of ElephANT maternity underwear. I like the Belevation, but the Bamboo are my favorite. These do not come up quite as high as the bamboo pair, but reaches to just under my bra (I have a short torso, so they might fall a bit shorter on a person with a longer torso.) The Belevation do feel a bit more compression-like than the bamboo. I ordered a small in these based on reviews and the sizing chart. They fit well in the belly, and are very stretchy for a growing belly, but the leg openings might just be a hair more snug than I prefer, and I probably should have gone with a medium. I am not returning them, but might order a second pair in medium (or just snip the seams a bit on the leg openings.) For reference I am 5'5", pre-pregnancy I was 124lbs, at 17 weeks I am at 130lbs.I really like the bamboo pair because they come up very high (I have a short torso and they actually go above my bra, if you have a regular or longer torso it would probably hit just under your bra.) I like that because there is no weird, uncomfortable, line across the belly, and I think when my belly gets bigger it will bring that down a bit and still cover everything. I, so far, have had no issues with those giving me "wedgies", as others reported. Based on reviews I went with the medium. They fit, but definitely give me room to grow, particularity in the belly area. I probably could have gotten away with a small. I guess it will just depend on how big I get. They are by no means compression underwear, but I feel they smooth things a bit and it does have a band of sorts that runs under the belly. I cannot speak much to its supportiveness just yet, as I am not very big (just a little bump) but right now, they feel good and give me that feeling of having a bit of support.The ElephANT Maternity underwear (what an awful name, right?) are the shortest of the three. Right now, with my little bump, the underwear hit dead center on my stomach. It caused a weird crease/line (think muffin top, but weirdly high up) that was very visible through clothing. It was also uncomfortable - I don't like having things press across my belly, and even though it was not tight or painful, it was uncomfortable. I ordered those in medium, and did not feel they would give me much room to grow. They are being returned.

Typically I wear an Xl in most pants 2X sixes now that I’m bigger at 33 weeks. I purchased these in a large and they’ve been perfect.I wanted something that gave me some belly support and rounded out my belly. I ended up purchasing a weeks worth. Prior to getting pregnant I lost 120 lbs in 8 months unfortunately I was still left with an apron belly that was diminished until the baby started to grow. The bigger my baby got the more pronounced my apron is getting.It’s not weight gain like most pregnancies. My doctor had put me on a glycemic diet since I’d had glucose issues when I was at my heaviest. So with this pregnancy I have lost about 4 lbs every doctors visit. So I know it’s just the baby making the apron stick out and making me more self conscious about my baby bump.These underwear are fabulous for rounding my belly out. I can tell the difference when I forget to wear a pair. All the movement without these undergarments I can feel the ligaments pulling and straining and can’t bounce around like my non pregnant coworkers.I highly recommend these. My only complaint and is the reason I didn’t give 5 stars is on 2 pairs I’ve gone to pull them up and tore a finger sized hole. They’re still functional but it happened in the belly section which is made differently than the support sections.One tip I have with these is to also purchase some bamboo panty liners. When I first ordered this brand I wasn’t sure I’d like them. So I ordered 1 of a few different brands to test. I ended up using these swapping out a clean liner any time I sneezed or needed a fresh pad. The bamboo liners are washable and soft. They cover all the areas that could become soiled so if you aren’t sure about sizes you can just buy 1 pair till you know if this is the right fit.

This is the best purchase I've made for myself during my pregnancy. I actually didn't purchase it until I was about 35 weeks pregnant – at this point, I could really feel my belly pulling down with a lot of weight. It caused a lot of discomfort. I don't like belly bands – they ride up, and they don't provide the support where I needed it. So I saw this, and it looked like a belly band with a brief attached to it, which I thought was exactly what I needed. And I was right! As soon as I put this on it provided sufficient compression (not too much, not too little) and immediately took away any of the pain I was having. A part of me wish I would've ordered this sooner, but I wasn't really experiencing much discomfort until about 35 weeks. I even wore it at night to provide additional support to my belly, as wedge pillows and other pillows just didn't work for me. Please buy this! It will make all the difference in the world, especially in the later stages of your pregnancy. Also, I had a previous C-section scar that was starting to stretch. My doctor actually recommended I wear something to help support my belly so it wouldn't stretch out C-section scar anymore. This seems to be really working well. Oh, and I have two pair of these and just rotate them. I wear them all the time.

Definitely size up. I’m 5’1” and 115lb before pregnancy. Curvy from the waste down. Currently 20 weeks along and at 120lb. I got a medium based off reviews and glad I did. Had I got a small like it suggested, it would of been too tight for sure all the way around. Otherwise, they’re nice! They smooth everything out a bit without feeling squished and sizing up made sure they didn’t pinch into my thighs and butt and make my skin roll. Room left over to grow in the pregnancy.

These have been a lifesaver! I wear size 26/28 pants, as such, it's very hard to find maternity clothes/undergarments in my size. I ordered size 22-26 and they've fit great from about 4 months pregnant until now (currently 32 weeks.) They help keep things smooth, provide a little support, and definitely round out my baby bump! Super comfortable, I plan to wear them for at least a little while postpartum as well.

I’m so happy.... I had a problem with my belly( very big) every evening I have felt tired . But it’s product changes my life . I’m 33 weeks and my weight 154 lb . I ordered size M and fit as expected.I hope that it’s help me reduce my varicose deases

These fit a little big but should fit better once I get bigger. There isn’t much compression at all and doesn’t really smooth out my “B” belly like I had hoped it would. The quality seems okay.
