Why do I need the Belly Bandit Upsie Gel Pack?
When it comes to lower-back pain in pregnancy, relief often feels just out of reach. With the combined power of the Belly Bandit Upsie Gel Pack and our Upsie Belly Pregnancy Support Band, you can get dual-action support to directly address the causes of lingering back pain. The Upsie Belly Pregnancy Support Band provides extra support by gently lifting your belly to give your back muscles a break while the Belly Bandit Upsie Gel Pack uses either heat or cold to help soothe muscles and encourage healing. If you’re experiencing any lower-back pain during your pregnancy, this dynamic duo is a must-have!
How do I use the Upsie Gel Pack?
Simply freeze the gel pack for at least 30 minutes or heat it for 20-30 seconds in the microwave on high. Then slip the Upsie Gel Pack into the specially designed back pocket which will hold it perfectly in place against your lower back. You should wear the Upsie Gel Pack off and on for 15-minute intervals.
