Received this item last week and I have not been able to use it yet because I'm still pregnant. The item has a real strong odor to it as I opened it up so I am letting it air out. I am extremely positive that I will be able to fit the item. My belly is about 44 inches in circumference right now and the item is able to stretch nearly that much. I haven't tried to actually put it around my waist yet since my baby is still occupying my womb but I have tried to see how far it can go around my waist and it can reach if I try to stretch it. Please follow the chart for I believe it is pretty accurate. The item itself can stretch. I am giving it a 5 for now because of all the reasons I've stated. Review might change within a month. I will keep everyone posted.
