How do you determine the right size to order? Is it by waist size, shirt size or belly size?

I would say belly size. Since there is an adjustable Velcro band, there is so some wiggle room.

I am 6' -- 175lbs and wear a size 34 pant / suit. The medium fit me perfectly.

II suppose you can wear it higher or lower than your waist, but I believe the sizes given are for one's waist.

It's by waist size. Small 28"-34" Medium 34"-40" Large 40"-46" X-Large 46"-52"

I was about the same size as you pre pregnancy. I purchased a small and a medium and could not even get the medium closed a few weeks after my c-section. So I would advise you to buy the large.

I'm about the same and wear a large. I normally wear large to fit my shoulders and length of arms. Most typical large shirts fit loose around the waist but this one is snug. The torso stretches to fit, so that helps when family gatherings and holiday meals make the material seem to shrink.

You realy need to measure around the middle of your waist and order according to the mesurments on the size listed. if you order according to the size you will not be happy. We did that and ended up having to buy another one. Measure!

My waist is 38" and I ordered 36-42. It fits well. If you have a LARGE belly you might want to measure above your navel an order to fit that size.

It is adjustable in three ways however you would probably have to order the large size to be comfortable. I ordered the size up to 50 waist and I wear a size 36 waist with a gut and I am right at the point where if I gain anymore weight I would have to go to a bigger size. So my advise is if you order large you can always adjust down. Don't go by your waist size, measure your belly size as that is where you will be wearing it. I am real happy with mine.

I was a medium before I got pregnant but gained 30lbs during the pregnancy. .I got a large for right after birth but quickly moved down to a medium within a week or 2..it depends on how much tightness u can stand..I would go med or small

I am 6 foot 2 tall and 190 lbs with about 3-4 inches more in waist than 10 years ago at the same weight. I use to wear a 32 waist in Levi's Jeans, now a 36 waist is baggy but the 34's are too tight. I have a very slight belly. I wear this around my naval area and it stretches, I would think it would fit a true 36 inch to 37, possibly a 38 inch waist. I know the tighter the fit the more it will pull in your gut and your lower back. The length of the brace is 39 inches long laid out flat UN-stretched and stretched I easily got it to 46 -47 inches. I hope that helps you make a better educated decision to buy or not to buy this Mr. Firtel. I am 6 foot 2 tall and 190 lbs with about 3-4 inches more in waist than 10 years ago at the same weight.

well im a size large in women pants 11-12 . and i have a little belly so for me the medium worked great. if you normally buy large shirts then i suggest u get a large and adjust it. i love the fact you can do that with this belt. plus yes im a girl and i squat heavy weights and everytime i bend down it stays in place.

Do a search for "Cressi start bcd size chart". On google the first result is for LeisurePro.com, selecting that will take you to the page with the BCD and you'll be able to find the link for the sizing chart. You generally need your waist and chest measurements as well as weight to get you in the proper size. Don't forget, the waistband of pants generally ride lower than your actual waist and since you'll have the tape measure out for your chest anyway get an actual waist measurement. Good choice in BCD, I love mine.

s=28~30", m=32-34",l=36-38",xl=40-42", 2xl=44-46", 3xl=48-50", 4xl=52-54". now i have a 34" waist, i bought the m size, and only have 1" of belt left over thru buckle, i would like a little more so the end tucks into the belt loop, i would choose one size larger if thats what you like also, if you dont like anything haging out of the buckle then choose your waist size and order that one. hope that helps.

First you have measure exact your waist and hips. It is difficulty to give you suggestion, usually wear Lumiscope Cross Black back to support your you waist can't be too loose so, you can try xl. P. NY

I went by the measurements. I bought this in my 8th month. My waist measured 44 so i went for the XL. I don't wear it too tight i wear it just snug because else my abdomen hurts a bit. Also i don't wear the top belt that sits below your rib cage as i found it uncomfortable when sitting for long periods of time at work and its still works fine for me.

Hi Visal..if u want it tight and fit go for the medium..I am assuming from ur weight that ur not that bulky..so medium shall do well..however if u have a big stomach or belly watch out..this will frame it..maybe u will have to go for L..if u dont have..then M is fine

I can tell you what experience has taught me.These shirts are meant to be a bit snug;not take your breath away snug but a little bit as to improve performance.So for instance where I normally wear an XL I'd go for a large and so far that's worked for me.Hope that helps.Best of luck with everything!

The first size I'd get would be a size above wha. I wore pre-pregnancy. This depends on how much you gained I guess too. It took a few weeks before I was back in my regular clothes (close to it)...and then I needed the smaller size. Guess overall it depends on how much you gained in comparison to what you normally wear.
