Serola Pregnancy Support Belt – Adjustable Maternity Belt for Back and Pelvic Pain Relief – Comfortable Bump Band for Pregnancy and Postpartum – Medium Size (86–102 cm)

Following an injury to my right hip nearly two years ago, my left hip became incredibly painful as, try as I might not to overload the uninjured side, it’s inevitable. My pelvis keeps tilting due to posture adjustment and stresses the sacroiliac joint causing an immense amount of pain. I wasn’t even able to sleep properly. After repeated visits to the osteopath and a large amount of money spent, I found these. This belt supports my pelvis and enables me to sit, walk, stand and most importantly for my mental health, continue with my physio and some of my fitness regime. On a bad day, I even wear it to sleep. It’s easy to fit and there are innumerable Youtube videos if you’re having trouble. I don’t always have it at the same tension, sometimes I need more support than others. I did consider the cheaper options available but decided in the bigger scheme of things, my health was worth the extra cost and went for the product that is recommended by professionals. I now have two of these so I always have a clean one. I’ve had these three months now and these things have made life tolerable whilst I wait for treatment on the other hip. The Velcro is incredibly strong and is still showing no signs of wear and tear. When washing, I have the belt loosely done up so all the Velcro is connected, put it in a washing bag so it doesn’t come into contact with anything else and wash without fabric softener. This is easy for me as I never wash any of my gym clothing with fabric softener as I find that fabric softener seems to hold the sweat smell in. All in all, I highly recommend these. If you are in pain, it's worth every penny.

**Reviewing after 1 hour** I was struggling with SI joint pain due to pregnancy and could hardly walk due to the stabbing feeling with every step, stairs were basically a no go. This belt gave immediate relief - the pain is still there in the joint but it’s not the excruciating level it was, it’s more like strong discomfort. I can walk normally, picking up my feet instead shuffling around, and have been able to get up and downstairs with no help. I’ve also been able to get through some of the strengthening exercises recommended to actually start healing. The material is good quality and stiff enough to actually give support unlike the fully elastic ‘pregnancy support belts’ I’ve looked at. The velcro is the good quality stuff and keeps a strong hold. The instructions are really clear too, it’s easy to put on and feel confident you’ve got the positioning and tension right. Obviously I can’t speak to long term use yet but the relief and freedom it’s given me after weeks of debilitating pain is overwhelming. I’m currently 21 weeks and the belt is comfortable enough to wear in the recommended position, however I do feel like it will be less comfortable with a bigger bump (or a full bladder) and will need to be worn lower, so support may be affected then.

This belt has been of great help to my back problem (sacroiliac joint and associated ligaments etc), and I would certainly recommend it to anyone suffering lower back pain. It particularly helps me when having to stand for any period of time, and when walking my dogs. On the minus side I do find it difficult to fit properly at times - the Velcro sticks to itself whilst trying to fit the belt, and I find myself fitting it 3 or 4 times depending on the type of trousers (ie waistband) I'm wearing. It's fine if wearing loose fitting 'jogging' bottoms, but not easy if not. I wouldn't be without now though, and my back pain has decreased significantly since wearing it.

This Serola Belt? Straight-up magic. I strapped it on, and it was like my spine sent me a thank-you note. The instant relief was so good, I half expected confetti to fall from the ceiling. Whether you're lifting heavy at the gym or working a physical job that turns your lower back into a permanent complaint department, this belt has your back—literally. It’s perfect for keeping things in place when you're putting serious strain on your joints, like a supportive hug that says, "I've got you." But before you start wearing it like a fashion accessory, word to the wise: don’t go using it 24/7 without checking in with your doctor. It’s a great tool, but your body might start relying on it like a crutch, and next thing you know, you’ll need it to grab a cereal box off the top shelf. In short, this belt is an amazing invention—just use it wisely, or you'll end up with a belt addiction.

I don’t write reviews, but this has been shockingly helpful. Despite PT, & chiropractic care I have experienced near constant postpartum SI pain for over a year. I’ve worn this for one day and night and woke up pain free. I know it isn’t a fix longterm- but if you’re needing some relief, I’d definitely recommend it.

The SI belt helped to stabilise the SI joint and has enabled me to walk with less discomfort. I do the main belt securely, but don't fasten the side parts of the belt too tight, or they can put too much pressure on the SI joint and cause more pain when there is a flare up. I'm still a long way from recovery and still need to take painkillers and anti-inflammatory pills, but this belt has been helpful to me. There may be badly damaged ligaments in the joint which need firm support in order to heal. Difficult when you need to keep walking a certain amount. If you don't walk, then the muscles will atrophy. I have found that I can cycle without too much problem, so I try to keep fit this way. I developed a problem with my left sacroiliac(SI) joint. I used to go jogging regularly. It started as a slight ache in the hip but gradually got worse. Eventually I could not bear much weight on the left hip and needed crutches to get around the house. There was nerve pain coming down through the hip and pain around the SI joint itself. The left SI joint seemed very unstable.

Does the job but will loose its shape quickly as quite narrow. Other than that it has already helped me to combat my sacroliatis that I have had for over a year. It is only now after using it for a few weeks that I am starting to see an improvement and the pain disappear or reduce. Very good otherwise and the velcro is very good. Only a 3 as it will loose shape after heavy usage.

Delivered quickly, in perfect condition, in compact pack. Complected with clear instruction of use. Using is easy. As instruction said, use back mounts to adjust belt for comfort. I discovered that you should use those back mounts to achieve more stable and lasting belt stick. Sometimes belt slips upwards, when you are bending a lot, bet it stays in place when running and walking. I use belt everytime when running, feeling more stable. I think the belt helps me in rehabilitation process, I use it every time when some pain returns, or I plan to do some hardf work, it lets me feel stable. Of course you should always use your ABS at first when doing hard work, this belt only helps.

I took this belt with free delivery to The Netherlands and of course I'm happy with this. But if you have a convex buttocks - it's a bit problem to fix the belt on a right position. But any way belt is quite convenient and really fixes sacroiliac joint! People wrote here that can sleep with it but I took it off during the sleep and for me is more convenient to wear it through the day and I feel effect even just of it.

Love it! Works perfectly, comfortable, hides under my clothing, was worried about it slipping but as long as you wear it correctly it stays without sliding around. with this belt and my stretching plan I can happily walk the dog for an hour without pain!

Es de buena calidad y si me sirvió para mi dolor de lumbares

This is a great product. It has helped bring over all stability and reduce discomfort/pain in the lower back both during sitting and movement

Desde el primer momento sentí un alivio de dolor que creí que no tenía y la postura al caminar se nota bastanteeee. Soy mujer y quise comprarlo porque siento que mi postura ha empeorado desde que di a luz hace tres años y quería algo que me ayudara con eso. Y por ahora creo que lo ha conseguido y como digo se siente super gustoso llevarlo incluso si creías que no tendrías dolores este cinturón te lo descubre jajajaja yo creo que es porque mejora bastante tu postura eso si tienes que llevarlo en la zona indicada
