Overall, this is a nice product. However, it is highly elastic and I found it to feel too tight for my comfort - even before I started to grow a belly! It gives a very snug fit, despite the fact that I am at the low end within the recommended size range for the size that I bought.

For comparison, I also purchased a "Baby Be Mine Bamboo Maternity Belly Band Organic" and ultimately decided that I like the 'baby be mine' better than the 'Ingrid & Isabel' because it was softer and not as tight, while still very effective at holding up unbuttoned jeans. I bought both in the same size.

Despite my preference towards the other product, I am giving this a 4 star because it is nice quality and would be appropriate for women who want a snug fit and don't mind tightness around their belly. I would recommend going up a size if you are near the cusp.
