How is GRDL's belt different from others?
The GRDL belt is like your pregnancy sidekick, blending top-notch research with down-to-earth practicality. Ours is the perfect blend — firm for support, but not rigid, so you can keep moving with ease. No more awkward moments sitting down; our unique design makes it comfy anywhere.
Think of our belt as your BFF, giving you that extra lower back love and supporting your changing body during pregnancy. It's shaped to reinforce the natural curves of your spine and pelvis. We've had it tested by women at all stages of pregnancy, with varying symptoms and levels of daily activity.
Trust us, GRDL's got your back (and pelvis)!
How do I measure my size accurately?
Stand with your feet together and at pubic bone height, measure around the widest point of your hips. This is usually around the middle of your buttocks.
How do I correctly wear my belt?
Your GRDL belt follows the angle of your pelvis. It should connect at the front near the pubic bone, under your bump. From the back, it should sit against the 'dimples' in your lower spine. Use the below image as a guide.
Adjust the external elastic straps to increase support as desired. To increase tension, pull both ends evenly towards the pubic bone.
Can it be worn during pregnancy?
Absolutely. The belt is safe to wear through the entirety of your pregnancy journey.
Can it be worn in sitting?
Yes! Unlike conventional pelvic belts, GRDL's soft material lets you keep your belt on in sitting. For extended periods of sitting, we suggest removing the belt to optimise comfort levels.
Can I wear it with my pregnancy shorts/leggings?
Yes, our belt can be paired with your preferred pregnancy compression shorts or leggings (as well as any other outfit!)
How long should I wear it for?
Usually, the belt is most beneficial for standing and walking positions. However, the belt is safe to wear for longer periods during the day due to its non-rigid design.
Will this belt help my back and pelvis pain?
As there are many causes for back and pelvis pain (during pregnancy and otherwise) we recommend consulting your health practitioner for an individualised assessment.
Can I use it if I'm NOT pregnant?
Yes! While the GRDL belt is designed with pregnancy in mind, a support belt may be beneficial to non-pregnancy specific back and pelvis pain. Seek personalised advice from your healthcare professional.
What is the belt made from?
The belt has been made from lightweight and durable neoprene, with a combination of nylon and spandex for elasticity and support. It is latex free.
