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"

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.

Good question. When I ordered my first one I ordered by waist size and had to exchange it. Order by Chest size.

You definitely want it tighter than loose so the baby fits snugly. I'm not sure what size would be best for you. I'm 5'9" and wear a size 14 or XL in shirts/dresses and the large was too big and didn't shrink in multiple hot water washes. I did have the organic version so I don't know if that matters with the size (I don't think it should). Maybe if you call the company they would help more. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

To choose a size, you first need to take measurements. I'm including the link to your website that gives instructions on how to measure. If you need any help with this, please call and speak to one of our certified fitters. http://www.supporthosestore.com/Education.aspx#HowToMeasureThank you,www.supporthosestore.com1-800-515-4271

The first answer is helpful, HOWEVER, I am a 31" waist. The small fits too snug to wear comfortably, the medium was closer to the 35" mark and fit very loosely. Sizing is accurate, but do not order smaller if you are borderline.

It is based on pre-pregnancy I believe, so I ordered a large. When I received the product, it was a large but it was too small and uncomfortable. Order a size bigger, especially if if you are carrying low.

When I ordered mine I was provided with an option to select the size and specific instructions on how to measure my regular belt as a guide to what size to order. Although that may have only been an option provided by the company that filled my order. I previously purchased a tactical vest with a similar belt that would probably fit a 56 inch waist; in that case no belt size option was provided. Both belts are adjustable via a velcro type construction that doubles back through both sides of the buckle. You may have to contact the seller directly about the belt size they are offering.

I would go with the waist measurement. But to be sure call the company and ask them then you can also ask about returning it if it does not fit.

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.

I'm 5' 11" with a 32" waist and I got myself sized at a M/L. However when the guy at REI sized me up, he did mention that the sizing varies depending not just on height and waist but also the actual torso length. But my advise would be to walk into a nearby outdoor store and get yourself sized before you buy it online, Then again, given that M/L is as big as you can go that's probably your best bet anyways. Hope this helps!

Hi. I did not use the string that goes on the top of my belly. On the back part there is a second string attached to the front part, so stick them together as you want and do not separate them when you put it on. Use it as a belt - wide part on your lower back, small part on the bottom of your belly. But I would recommend it to wear it only when you are standing or walking - when you sit - it may push your belly and make you uncomfortable.

Thank you so much!!! I have also decided on the back and tummy heating/cold wrap because it has an adjustable belt. I will place my order now. Thanks again

What I did is I went with my studio's gee that I got when I first signed up for classes. If you look at your pants that you have now, you will know what size to wear. That is what I did. Their is no size chart sorry.

I think I found a size chart on another listing from a different seller, since there wasn't one on this one (but the price was better); I think it the size chart may have even have been in one of the other customer reviews, but I don't remember exactly! If I were you, I'd look around at the other listings for this product, because I know that at least one of them has the size chart that helped me! Hope this helps!

It seems to run big, because I ordered the 0 for my 4 year thinking it was going to be just right but I had to take it in by 4 folds. Oddly enough the waistline is just right but everything else is too big. Hope this helps.
