Im 7 months pregnant and starting to feel pressure in my abdomen and back. It was very difficult to sleep or get comfortable. This garment has been a life saver! I ordered a second blanqi so that I can wear it 24/7. Won't go without it. My back and abdomen feel supported and secure. True to size.

Good support

Proscomfortable, useful
I really like this tank for its support. It has helped my back and helped with some of the little pains I'm now getting around my belly as the muscles stretch out more (I am 26 weeks now). It also is nice to be able to wear my own bra underneath. I am 5'5" and got the regular length, not long, and I find its perfect with dresses and tops/pants. It also works better than the maternity bands to hold up non-maternity pants so I am now getting extra mileage out of my regular wardrobe, which is great! I also agree that it helps with shaping quite a bit, just smooths everything out and makes my belly cute & round :) I do wish this were a bit more affordable because I'd love to get a second in the nude color, but I'm not spending $140 for 2 so I will just wear the black and skip it entirely on days I wear very light colors. One caveat: I wear a 32DD bra pre-pregnancy and while the small does fit me perfectly, I have found that it can be tough fitting my chest over it comfortably. I simply wear my bra underneath (I read some women wear theirs over the tank) but for me, the tank dug into my chest that way so I have to put the bra under to lift up a bit first. Hope that helps!

Supportive, but not for all-day wear
PostedJune 23, 2013
I'm about 8 months pregnant and have been having horrible sciatic pain. I bought a maternity belt, but thought that a support tank might be better for all-day wear. This tank feels very tight when I wear it, but I assume it's supposed to have some compression qualities. Unfortunately, it's not comfortable to wear all day - the belt feels quite restrictive by the end of the day and the under-bra feature just isn't very comfortable over my bras. That being said, it does lift the belly and take the weight off your back, as described, so for that I give it 4 stars.
