Wear around your growing bump just covering your hips. Make sure the thinner hem is at the bottom and rests at your hip bone.
Tip! If you’re farther along in your pregnancy, you can sit and pull the band up over your belly. The top seam might not completely cover your belly but you will still get full support. If you’re not far along in your pregnancy or just want extra lower back support, fold over the band in half.
“Love Me Longer Care”: Gentle wash with like colors. Use mild detergent. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not Bleach. Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, soak, leave wet, dry clean, or iron.
LoveSteady was created by a Women's Health Physical Therapist and Pilates Instructor. Our products are inspired by your active pregnancy and motherhood journey! Proudly made in the USA. 100% designed & manufactured in California.
At LoveSteady your goal is to be more than just a place you shop. Our desire is to be a trusted ally, a supportive friend, an encouraging advocate, and a helpful source of information.
Where We Come From
LoveSteady was created in 2007 when our founder, a then practicing physical therapist named Suzanne, noticed that her patients didn’t have the tools they needed to comfortably get through pregnancy. She began designing products that would support those who were looking to remain active and supported throughout their pregnancies and prevent them from turning to restrictive, ill-fitting girdles and binders that would squeeze their midsections and actually impede postpartum recovery. She started sharing her sample pieces with local Northern California mothers and officially launched as Bao Bei at the Los Angeles Trade Show in September 2007. The Belly Sports Bra was officially born.
Fast forward to today, LoveSteady is still comprised of a small team of moms dedicated to providing support for people in all phases of their parenthood journey. We believe postpartum is forever and are constantly working to extend our reach so that everyone can feel supported, nurtured, and cared for through pregnancy and beyond.
Intentional Design
Each product from our collection is intentionally created from start to finish. We begin with a design and test it again and again before it is ever publicly released. Each piece we make is more than just part of an outfit. We aim to create lasting support wear that will stand the test of time, and, most importantly, support a healthy pregnancy and postpartum. From our sizing to our fabric selection, nothing is chosen without thought and concern for those who are trusting us with their bodies.
As a promise to you, we are constantly striving to be more inclusive while maintaining our commitment to slow fashion and ethical production. Our goal is to continually expand our reach so that you feel supported, regardless of your size, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation,
Commitment to Sustainability
From the start, upholding ethical production has been a core tenet of LoveSteady. We use small batch production, ensuring both the quality of our product and the proper treatment of all those involved in manufacturing. From our fabric selection, to our sewing team, to our shipping team we work with small businesses to support our local economy and reduce our impact on the planet.
We are consistently upgrading our packaging to be more environmentally conscious and look for creative ways to use our fabric scraps so we can reduce waste. We are dedicated to supporting every caregiver, including Mother Earth.
Community Focus
LoveSteady will always strive to place our community first. We are who we are because of you. You really do matter to us. As a small business, we promise never to forget our roots and never to stop celebrating each and every purchase you make. You are the reason we are here, and we will continue honoring our commitment to you, to our community, and to our Earth. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time (hello@teambaobei.com) We look forward to the opportunity to support you and thank you for placing your trust in us.
WE (are) LOVESTEADY
First of all, BaoBei is a MUST brand for some necessary pieces for pregnancy and postpartum. I discovered the line many years ago and am currently in my 6th pregnancy. I first tried the postpartum recovery leggings and they are nothing short of amazing!! The gentle support, excellent material and super high rise make them the only thing you will want to wear in those days of getting dressed postpartum (when you’re ready for more than a robe and the BaoBei bloomers). A total must-have. I have purchased countless Adore bralettes- the best material, gentle support and easy, comfy access for nursing. They are a staple in my wardrobe at all times. Working out is a huge part of my well-being and I attend a studio where I take a variety of classes, including barre, yoga and cycle. I would not think of exercising during my pregnancy without my pregnancy support band! The strong, buttery-soft material hugs your belly and provides amazing support for your growing belly as you move (so great for impact moves like jumping jacks). I recommend all of my favorites from BaoBei to every pregnant mama I know, but especially this workout band!! I recently tried the liteBump band, which is similar to the pro bump but a little lighter of a fabric. It’s more of an everyday band, giving a wonderful gentle hug of support and also excellent coverage- if you wear a top that doesn’t quite cover your belly or want to extend the waistband of a pair of pants… it’s definitely a must-have and feels so great. Now that I’ve tried the lite band, it’s something that I want to use daily and I highly recommend it!
I have a very sensitive stomach, even before pregnancy, I could barely stand anything tight. It didn't get any better with pregnancy. I also have hEDS and the standard baby belt supports all had Velcro which, with the Relaxin hormone released during pregnancy making my joints looser, meant that my fingers would sublux or fully dislocate every time I put the belt on or took it off. I was so excited to see a light-pressure option with no velcro. This exceeded my expectations! It's so easy to take on and off. I can wear it for hours with no discomfort, and can wear it while sitting for much longer than anything else I've tried. It made a huge difference on days where I was walking for 3+ hours straight, and it's great for days I want to get lots done around the house. If you don't have a sensitive stomach like me, you might like the full-strength version better, but this was perfect for me.
This band is so perfect. It’s buttery soft, and just the right amount of compression. I’m super sensitive to things being too tight during pregnancy, and this really helped me survive 3rd trimester when the support was needed but I couldn’t tolerate the more compressive ProBump band. I often forgot I had it on! The design is well thought out as it’s not too tight at the top or bottom, but isn’t rolling or slipping up or down all day either. Highly recommend for anyone who want just a tiny hug of support! My SI joints and pelvis really found support and relief when I wore! Also think it’s just so telling that LoveSteady is the brand my pelvic floor therapist recommends too!!!
I've been wearing the liteBump support band nearly everyday since it arrived in the mail when I was about 26 weeks pregnant with my second child. It's lightweight enough to wear all day, even in summer heat, and under any other outfit yet still manages to provide incredible support. On the days I don't wear it, there is a noticeable heaviness in my pelvic floor that does not exist when I wear the liteBump. Highly recommend!
This belly band is a game changer! I can always tell the difference in my day when I wear it vs when I don’t. It’s the perfect amount of support and I am able to wear it all day without any issues. I am small so I originally ordered a size xs but found that it was a little bit too tight for my growing belly. I messaged customer service to ask if this was normal (it’s my second pregnancy but first time trying a belly band) and they confirmed it was not and almost immediately sent me a size small! Excellent customer service - truly so kind and helpful!

I have this and the pro bump and love wearing this when I feel like I need a little extra support. It’s nice and thin and breathable so I hardly remember I have it on. Also perfect for holding up any maternity clothes that aren’t fitting quite right!
If you carry smaller (typically a 0/2/4 pre-pregnancy) and are shorter (I’m 5’3”), I highly recommend the ProBump Lite in XS over the regular ProBump in S. The XS provides so much support even though it’s marketed as “light” support. I initially ordered the regular ProBump in S because they don’t make it in XS and ended up returning it because it was too big and provided zero support for me. They sent me the Lite in XS to try out and it’s a night and day! I hope they make the regular ProBump in XS soon! For context, I’m 30 weeks pregnant right now. Tried the regular ProBump at 27 weeks but my belly has been close to the same size between the two. I also wear the bloomers in XS and have been since 10 weeks pregnant. Can’t wait to work out in this!
This arrived a few days before a cross-country car trip at 30 weeks pregnant! It helped me feel supported getting in and out of cars, packing and unpacking, etc. I have worn it every day since it arrived. Gentle support. Doesn’t make me overheat. Highly recommend!
Hands down, this band is the best support band I have ever used! I’ve tried no less than 10 in the past four years (three pregnancies). The ProBump is the OG, however, I find the LiteBump to be even better! It’s everything you want: supportive, lightweight enough that you forget you’re wearing it, softer than Skims, and it doesn’t cover your whole belly so you don’t get that uncomfortably painful compression a while into it. Please ladies, do yourselves the favor and buy this ASAP!
I’m so happy with this product. It’s just the right amount of day to day support. I like to use the other band for close to my delivery and postpartum (along with the support bloomers) because I just need that little extra hold to help my back. For my second trimester, the original is a little much though, especially in the summer, so this was just a PERFECT addition to my support lineup. Anything to make pregnancy a little more comfortable!
