Now you’re probably wondering where you can buy these belly support accessories, including a plus size maternity support belt. Below you’ll find many different options from free to over $50. As I was putting this post together one thing became abundantly clear – reviews of these products are very mixed. Some people loved their selected belly support apparatus while others couldn’t stand it. It’s critical that you don’t wear a band that is too tight or so restrictive that it digs into your skin. Therefore, try before you buy, know your exact size, or make sure there’s a good online return policy.
