Easy to put on tight
I love how easy it is to put it on tightly. There are three different Velcro attachments. You put it on as tight as you can; then you can tighten the Velcro on both sides easily. At first it feels a bit weird and makes it difficult to sit down and walk but you quickly get used to it. I had a c section and my doctor told me to wait 2 weeks postpartum just to be safe. If course she wanted me to also make sure my incision was healing well before wearing it as well.

I'm Smaller But Why?
I bought the shrinkx hip belt because I needed a lot of help after the birth of my first child to regain my prior shape. I was invested in not taking so long about my fitness, shape, weight, etc., with the second child and bought a few items to help boost my progress. The belt was one of these items.The belt was uncomfortable to wear after my surprise c-section so I waited a couple weeks until I could wear it comfortably...that's what the instructions advise you to do. Then I began wearing it for 8 hours per day. I lost a lot of weight rather rapidly and my hips changed quickly. I put on mostly water weight with the second pregnancy and it flushed out and I found myself with my prepregnancy body much sooner than anticipated. So I'm not certain how much the belt actually did for me.The belt gave me nice support in the hips. Pregnancy causes a lot of extra lower back and hip issues for me. When I could comfortably tolerate wearing the belt, my hips felt great.The belt causes a nasty muffin top. Be prepared to wear cardigans and jackets to hide this temporary, annoying side effect. I wore it under my jeans and it caused my jeans to slide down my bottom all day long and it gave my butt an odd flat look from behind.I thought the belt was easy to put on and easy to take off. I did think it stretched more than it should for the price because I had to retighten it frequently through the day.In summary, I wore the belt but I lost most of my weight as fluid after the pregnancy. My hips did shrink, but there is no final answer as to how much the belt actually did. I think it is a great product potentially for some people. I don't anticipate using it after the next pregnancy though.

Mildly uncomfortable but does the job
In 8 weeks I had lost over an inch off my hip width. that's not weight, as I weight exactly the same. To me, that's success. It's easy to put on and to adjust. The non-slip strips work moderately well. It does tend to ride up as you sit, but if you truly get it around your hips, it won't ride up as much. I tended to feel a bit sore after wearing it, but that's to be expected after cinching yourself in for 12 hours. I usually put it on in the evening around my baby's final nursing and wore it to sleep in and for the first couple hours of the day. No big deal there. It does bunch up in the front, especially if you have a post-baby pooch. the belt pushed up the pooch to an embarrassing degree that made me look even fatter. Which just meant that I either timed my wearing schedule around leaving the house, or wore looser-fitting tops, or avoided low-rise pants. I have already recommended it to several pregnant friends. I wish that I'd had one for my first two pregnancies.

Gimmicky
I bought this after feeling desperate after baby number three. There is no way I could wear this for more than a few minutes. I've lost the weight and feeling great, ladies - remember our bodies were made to birth children and your hips will go back and you will start to feel better. Trust me. Breast feed, get your walks in and give yourself some time. Belly bandit is worth it, actually helps to heal abdominal muscles. This - No go. Buy yourself a good workout video instead. Like Denise Austin's hit the spot Pilates, awesome lower body segments and beautiful setting. Good luck!

Jello Hips
I was 5'7" 140lbs before I had a baby, I gained about 35-40 pounds and my hips felt like they were loose and going to pop out toward the end of my pregnancy. (mind you I was shocked to deliver a 8 # 14.7oz baby boy!)I was looking for something to help me put my hips back....and Shrinkx Hip Belt is perfect. I breastfeed so I usually wear it at night while sleeping, on and off during the day to take it off during feedings.I started at 3-4 weeks post and my hips feel amazingly better when I walk. (I felt like a loose tricycle) Now when I take my 6 week old for a walk in the sling I feel so much better. Working off weight and no 'MOM' jeans for me...Skinny jeans here I come!

Doesn’t really work
After 2 weeks of use I can’t get it right anymore. The elastic has given out and my hips haven’t budged. If this product did what it said it did I would have been an ideal candidate. I had so much relaxin in my body I had issues with dislocating joints. I really bought this because I thought it would to help stabilize my hips when walking. It has some what helped with that but they aren’t any smaller. Maybe it would work if the elastic hadn’t given out and I could make it tighter.

Great idea
The product is well made and easy to adjust. It stays in place faily well and would probably work well for someone who had a regular/vaginal birth. I had a csection and because of the instructions I thought I would still be able to use it for a few weeks. Turns out that if you wear it where you should the top part of the belt will hit you very close to your incision and the sensitive area around it. It is particularly uncomfortable when sitting which is when the belt helps your hips most. It's been 9 weeks since my surgery and if I put the belt on now and sat down, it would be painful. The belt is just too rigid for it to touch your lower abdomen comfortably while sitting. The directions say to wear it when it is comfortable to do so and that you have 8 weeks post delivery to ease your hips back. I would have to say that if you're planning on a csection or think you might have one, this is not the belt for you.

Outstanding
I wore this after my second pregnancy, and ended up with hips 1" smaller than before I ever had children. A miracle product, highly recommended.
