Anyone had to wear a Tubi-grip for Diastasis?

Just wondering if there's anyone who's worn a Tubi-grip during pregnancy for Diastasis? I'm 28 weeks pregnant and was telling midwives yesterday about pain/tight area/lump I'm getting right next to my tummy button whenever I'm out walking. She felt tummy and noticed a gap in the muscles (not a huge one, but it's there). They've given me a Tubi-grip to wear, which I tried for about 1 hour yesterday and again today. However, within the hour after putting it on, I'm getting quite intense upper back pain (just above the lower part of my bra, so just above this Tubi thing). Once I take it off, the pain goes away (not immediately last night, but within 45 minutes or so it was a lot better).

So....is it just me? Am I wearing it wrong, or just too fat for it? Or has anyone had a similarly painful time with wearing one? Thinking maybe there's some sort of tummy support that doesn't go soooo high up one's back! Guess I'll need to ring midwives tomorrow to ask them, but thought I'd ask good ole Mumsnet's first to see if I'm alone in this, or if anyone knows what I mean! TIA!

Thanks for your reply. Mine doesn't seem to have any size on it...just very skinny for me to squeeeeeze into! lol

Guess I better phone midwives and see if they have any advice. Must admit I didn't wear it today, but was home sitting around most of the day (well not sitting all day, but not lots of extending walking or out of the house). Btw, they didn't say if I'm to wear it all day or just when I'm out walking? Do you know?
