Finding the Perfect Fit
Picking the right size for your belly band is super important to keep you comfy and supported. Let’s help you figure out exactly what you need and nail down the perfect width for bands ranging from small to XXL.
Determining Your Size Needs
Figuring out which belly band size suits you best starts with measuring your belly. Knowing your abdominal circumference helps snag a band that squeezes just right. Here’s a straightforward size guide:
Size | Abdominal Circumference (inches) |
---|---|
Small | 28 – 32 |
Medium | 32 – 36 |
Large | 36 – 40 |
XL | 40 – 44 |
XXL | 44 – 48 |
Grab a soft tape measure and wrap it around the fullest part of your belly. If you’re still scratching your head, check out our handy guide on multi-size belly bands (small to xxl). Remember to leave a bit for a 25mm overlap—so it fits like a charm.
Calculating the Ideal Width
The width of your belly band matters just as much for comfort and support. Here’s how to get yours right:
- Measure your belly’s width from front to back.
- Double that number, so you cover both the front and back.
- Toss in an extra 25mm so you’ve got enough room to fasten it securely.
Say your belly width is 200mm, here’s the math:
(200mm x 2) + 25mm = 425mm
This ensures your belly band will overlap just enough to latch safely with a sticker or wax seal. For the full scoop, hop over to custom-fit belly bands.
