Measuring for a Smileybelt

• When wearing the Smileybelt during pregnancy, you have two options - one for pelvic joint pain and one for abdominal strain and low back pain. To determine your size for either option, measure around your body at the level of your pubic bone using a measuring tape. You can also use a piece of string, side of a towel, or a belt, and measure the length against a ruler or builder's tape measure. 
  
• If you experience non-pregnancy related back pain, such as mid to lower back pain or sacroiliac joint pain, measure around your hip bones or pubic bone respectively. If you're unsure, refer to our size chart.

And for those needing a larger size, we now offer a Smileybelt extender that can increase the XL size to the equivalent of an XXL or XXXL, perfect for those measuring between 130-160cm or carrying multiples.
