Bump support band?

3 replies

Has anyone got any experience of using a bump support band for exercise?

I'm still running at 20 weeks and am starting to get back pain now, so wondered if a bump support could help.

I've tried the Fittamamma top with built in support, but it doesn't make much difference - is there anything else out there that might help? Or do I accept defeat and stop?!

Nexcare one is about the best but not sure if any will withstand running.

You could try a massive tummy tubigrip I have one from my physio as I have a damaged back and it helps with discomfort when I'm walking so might work with running

Thanks for the suggestions. What are those options like as regards pressing on the bladder?! I'm already needing a wee pretty much constantly while I'm running, and any extra pressure could be tricky!
