OPTP Maternity Support Belt by Diane Lee is designed with patented elastic side straps that deliver targeted compression to the front or back of the pelvis, exactly where it’s needed. Many women find that where they need compression changes as their pregnancy progresses, between pregnancy and postpartum, and even from day to day.
OPTP Maternity Support Belt by Diane Lee is designed to meet a woman’s changing needs throughout pregnancy and postpartum. This unique maternity support belt features patented elastic side straps that can be secured in the front, to add support for the pubic symphysis, or in the back, to add support for the sacroiliac joint. This double compression belt features a two-piece design. The non-elastic belly support strap wraps around the lower abdomen, resting just above the greater trochanters (the top of the thigh bone and the widest part of the hip). The pelvis support is made of high-compression elastic that wraps around the pelvis and attaches to the belly support, offering a firm “hug.” The patented elastic side straps add a second layer of compression to the front or back of the pelvis, exactly where it’s needed. Designed for comfort and movement, the support belt features curved sides above the thighs for greater comfort and ease of movement, especially when sitting or squatting. The belt can be worn when sleeping, sitting, standing, walking, and during activities of daily living, to help relieve low back or pelvic pain, support the pelvis during sleep, allow the wearer to work comfortably, support the abdominal muscles, back muscles, sacroiliac joint and pubic symphysis, stop the pelvic joints from clicking, or provide support for healing after a C-section. The level of compression, targeted support, and ease-of-movement design make the OPTP Maternity Support Belt by Diane Lee the ultimate belt to help relieve pain and regain quality of life through pregnancy and while rehabilitating the affected musculature in the pelvic floor, transversus abdominis and/or multifidus.
The OPTP Maternity Support Belt by Diane Lee is available in 3 sizes. Small fits pant sizes 4-6, Medium fits pant sizes 8-10, and Large fits pant sizes 12-14. If you are in the first or early second trimester of your pregnancy and are on track to put on an average amount of pregnancy weight (25 pounds), then order the size according to your pre-pregnancy pant size. If you are in the first or early second trimester of your pregnancy and know you will put on 40-60 pounds of pregnancy weight, then order one size larger than your pre-pregnancy pant size. If you are in the third trimester and really, really big – order the size up. If you are in the third trimester and average size – order your pregnancy pant size.
