I'm 5'0" tall and short waisted woman. I wonder if this belt will be too tall and therefore restrict my movement or be very uncomfortable to wear. Can anyone help address my concerns?

On the contrary. The belt is very comfortable, as weights can be added or subtracted per your desire. I love this belt, the best anyone could do for themselves. I've already lost 8 inches in my waist since April!

I am 4'10" and it does not restrict my movement by any means. It does not fit tight around your waist, but rather sits on your hips, so it should work quite well for you.

I would probably try and find something a little smaller. I'm not tall by any means (5' 7'') but it is a bit constrictive. I wear a 29 waist and it fits but I definitely have to tighten it far down the Velcro.

Hello, I'm 5'2", and this belt is comfortable for me. You can adjust the weights to your comfort level. Hope this information is helpful.

I am 5'4" and have not had any issues. I am sure you would be fine using it, and it is adjustable since you can always release/add air to your comfort.

Unless you really big around the middle, the belt should be long enough. I am 5' 11" 220 lb and it fits me with room to spare. Lots of buoyancy. Mine developed an unsightly tear at the belt attach after ~3 wks but it works fine.

I'm 5'5" and can lengthen my stride quite a bit, and still have plenty of room left where I'm not bumping against the front or getting near the back of the treadmill. You could take the measurement of your stride at your normal brisk walking pace and see how long it is. I just measured the belt and there's 43" of free space between the front and the back. That's a lot of room.

Hi, I am also short, I am 5' 6" and 30 waist in US. The short fit good, I thought the front lid/tongue was a bit bulky. All in all the short is very comfortable. I hope I helped you.

size 20 woman, no problem fitting. the belt probably has 10 inches or so of slack remaining, maybe more. the only thing I have is that the chest strap fits a little strange but I think that is because I'm only 5'5" and it lands across my cleavage, not across my breastbone/chest. I end up placing my hands at that point and kind of holding down on there, if I'm not doing anything else with my hands. Also, my daughter is 38 lbs so I'm getting to the top of the weight limit with her. Maybe with a smaller child it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

I am about 6 inches shorter than you so I can't answer that question. It fits me perfectly, so it may be an issue for you!

My wife is 5'4" and she used it just fine. I do not know if your height will be an issue or not. Sorry I am of little help.

The belt goes on your hips, not your stomach. Measure your hips across your buttox. Shouldn't be a problem no matter how pregnant you are.

I'm not sure about under 5'3, but I'm 5'3 and short-waisted, and it works on me. Its basically just a big piece of elastic, and you can move it up or down your back to find a position that's comfortable for you.

I was worried about that too. I am very happy to say yes. I'm 5'2', 117 lbs. I have no problem at all. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I'm 5'4" 120lbs, I have the 4". My waist is pretty tight, so that size works well for me. I wear mine for more posture support and posture reminders when lifting rather than injury protection.

I am 5'10" and it just barely fits me, might be too high for you. I wear 32" in pants length.

I can't say for certain, as I am fairly tall, but I believe a shorter person might have trouble. The back section is quite long, and even on me it would bunch up and get uncomfortable. But maybe that would not be the case with a shorter person? I'm sorry, that wasn't much help :/

I can't completely answer that but will share my experience. Maybe it will be helpful. When I wear the belt I do sweat under the belt. I have noticed that my skin is smoother and believe that if I wore it regularly I would loose inches.

I would go with the previous answer... My Fiance is quite heavy and is only about 5' 3". With the belt adjustment, it fits her fine.

I'm about 6 feet tall, and it only has a little bit more slack for me. There are Velcro straps that must wrap around a belt. Hope that helps...
