I bought this in hopes that it would give me better support in front and back. I am 29 weeks along with twins so I am sure you can guess that I am fairly big. The product looked exactly like I was expecting. The velcro can be a little bit of an annoyance but it does not bother me much anymore. My back does not feel as bad as it use to, and it is nice having something pushing up the front a little bit. I would buy this product again.
