So, during each pregnancy I've searched for the perfect belt. I need one to support both back and belly. After several buys I was ready to give up. I then watched a you tube video that recommended going to Menards (your your local home improvement store) and buying a workmens back brace. This has excellent back support and secures in the front with velcro. It also has side straps to add an extra tightening if you wish. I pad 11 dollars and change for it!! Give it a try😄
