Has this worked for anyone? How uncomfortable is it to wear? Do you order based on a pre-pregnancy weight?
I'm borderline in the weight and didn't know if I should order up a size. I'm only 7 wks pregnant, but this is my fifth and with each pregnancy this has become a problem earlier and earlier  .
If anyone has anything to add I would appreciate your help. PM me if you would like, I know this is pretty personal.

I know this is pretty personal, but I wanted to reply here in case anyone else needs the info when searching later. It's such an uncomfortable thing...
I have the V2 Supporter and used it with my 3rd and 4th pregnancies. It was OK. With my 5th, 6th, and 7th pregnancies, things got worse and worse. I switched to the Fembrace and it's been A LOT better. With my 7th, I have to say,  I added a Poise pad (I had read that somewhere when searching) and it REALLY helped A LOT. I won't say I had no discomfort, but it was markedly less!
If you have any further questions or want to discuss it further, please feel free to PM me.
God bless,
Christine

I've used the V2 with my last 4 pregnancies. I would NEVER make it through a pregnancy without it. It has not been uncomfortable but rather the opposite.
PM if you have questions.

Thank you both! The fembrace looks a little more comfortable so I'll compare the two. With the fembrace, did you order 2 different sizes? This will probably become an issue before I'm even in maternity clothes. So, it looks like I might need to order 2 different sizes. Or maybe order one size now and another later.

I have 2 different sizes. I found that works best. There is a discount for purchasing 2 at the same time. I think it's a pretty good deal of savings. I'm guessing that many of their customers need 2 sizes.
God bless,
Christine
