Best Pregnancy Belt for Back Pain

The Serola Sacroiliac Belt for Back Pain

To ease lower back pain and discomfort the Serola Sacroiliac Belt for Back Pain is designed specifically to hold the sacroiliac joint together meaning it isn't just meant for pregnancy but it is very effective at reducing back pain. By stabilising the pelvis, your tight back muscles can relax while loose belly muscles firm up which will support your bump while your baby grows.

• Targeted support for your sacroiliac joint, a key location for back insecurity
• The elastic is bound in a breathable and hypoallergenic layer for your comfort
• Works to tighten muscles that naturally become lax throughout pregnancy
• Suitable for a range of lower back conditions so you can use it again if needed

Our verdict: A great belt for targeted support suitable if the lower back is the root of your pain. 

Best for Pregnancy and Postnatal Use

The Neo G Elastic Pregnancy Support Belt

If you're looking for something that will help during pregnancy and assist your lax muscles and ligaments in recovering once you've given birth then the Neo G Elastic Pregnancy Support Belt is the ideal choice. The reversible design isn't all this belt has going for it either, with a breathable build and two strap adjustability it is sure to keep you supported and comfortable during pregnancy.

• Dual purpose support belt to take the weight off and provide postnatal support
• Metal stays provide back support and are removable for when you flip the belt
• Breathable build helps your back stay fresh while wearing the support belt
• Provides light and adjustable compression so you can find the fit that works for you

Our verdict: The best belt for postnatal use to help your body regain its original shape.

Best Belt for Circumferential Support

The Wiltshire Slimline Maternity Belt

The support provided by the Wiltshire Slimline Maternity Belt is unique in the consistent tension it provides around the whole circumference of your waist so that the sacroiliac joints, pubis and pelvis all receive compression. With two variable tension straps, there is a high degree of adjustability so that you can feel supported and comfortable at the same time.

• Circumferential support is better if you don't just feel pain or tension in one place
• Slimline design means this belt is easy to wear discreetly under clothing if preferred
• Reduce aches and pains by supporting your lumbar, pubis and pelvis all at once
• Two variable tension straps make this belt adjustable for guaranteed comfort

Our verdict: A great belt for significant support if your pain is more general than specific.
