Deceiving......not as pictured

I ordered this under the direction of my physical therapist for diastasis recovery, but they changed the model apparently. The one I used in office was tan(like in the picture), and fit well over my longer torso. The one I received from my order is white and seems shorter in width, which doesn't cover my torso area as well...leading to front and back fat when worn. If it wasn't for the difference in width, this would be a 5 star product. Had I not needed to use it asap, I definitely would've returned it.
Need Inbetween Sizes

I've used this binder after both of my pregnancies. The only issue is after a week or two the medium is way too big and the small is way too small. There needs to be an inbetween size.
Great binder, but need more sizes

I'm an inpatient PT and we use these for all of our patients post partum. I'd love to see some additional sizes, particularly between and small and medium as we often have patients for whom the small is too small immediately post partum, but will not fit in the medium after only 1-2 weeks.
Very pleased

After trying 3 other binders, we came across this one and have been very happy. It is the best fitting and quality we have seen.
Excellent support

I bought two of these - one for post-partum, and one for during pregnancy. Though I've not gotten to test the latter yet, I've been really pleased with it's support during pregnancy. I got it early enough to see how it does when the belly is small, and even as it grows, I had no issues with rolling! I've tried many support products and most I had to re-adjust constantly and unroll, but with this I do not. It goes over my hips some (which is nice) so that does require some correction with pants, but I expect that. I have a short torso and am really glad to find something that supports well but doesn't go up too high. My only downside is that this is too rough to have directly against the skin, so it requires more layers when wearing. It isn't hot itself, but needing additional layers of clothing is a little frustrating. I had that issues with many other belly bands though, so no surprise there.
Perfect support.

If your tiny like I am, the fear and not losing your pregnancy weight can be overwhelming. This support band made my squishy postpartum belly feel secure and tight. It helped support my muscles and shrank my stomach back to normal size. I work it over my Bella bands, with my nursing top over it, so I was able to nurse my infant without having to pull up my shirt and expose my band or belly. I recommend this band for everyone. I was 114 lbs pregnancy, currently weight 108, and ordered a small and it was the perfect size.
Waste of money

This product has no support in the back and so it is no more than a large ace bandage. It pulled so hard on my lower back that it was totally ineffective and a complete waste of money. It ended up I the trash. Comment from Core Products: Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and would be glad to offer you a refund if you are not satisfied with any product purchased from us. It is common for new users to incorrectly position various braces and supports. If you would like to learn how to correctly apply the Better Binder, I would invite you to call us toll free at 800-365-3047 and we would be glad to step you through it over the phone.
Just what I needed

I have been recovering from an abdominal surgery the past year. I have found I have a large pouch and scar tissue which is causing backaches. When using this binder it gets my abdomin and back the support it needs.
This support was great both during my pregnancy and after.

I wore this support the last few months of my pregnancy to support my growing belly and it did not irritate my skin, especially my belly button area. After my delivery I wore it to stablize my belly and 'hold me together', It was great, I wore it under my shirt and know one could tell I had it on.
