This is good for when you don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe.  I use it for my pre-pregnancy slacks which gives me more options to wear.  It's not too tight on the stomach and it smoothes out the lines.  I also use it for maternity jeans as it helps hold up the jeans.  I've washed mine several times with regular clothes and it's held up so far.  I even bought a second one.

Negatives:  It rides up in the back when I sit down which is frustrating.  So before I stand up I have to make sure to pull it back down.  Also, in order to cover the zipper (that won't zip up) you have to wear it low around the waist.  As a result it can sometimes be seen below the shirtline.  That's why I only gave it three stars.

I bought both of mine from the Doula shop.  Shipping was quick and they sent a coupon for the next order.
