Directions
To use:
1. Putting on The Abdominal Support Pad (ASP)
Place the Abdominal Support Pad (ASP) in a lifting position under the abdomen. Fasten it in place by wrapping its strap around your body and touching the hook and loop to the ASP.
2. Position The ASP
Place the ASP as low under your abdomen as possible, but not so low as to interfere with your legs when you walk or sit. Slide the ASP up slightly until it doesn't interfere with your legs when lifted as shown. The ASP is now positioned correctly.
3. Attach The Belt
Grip the belt securely at both ends. Stretch it forward and touch it to the ASP. You can adjust the tension and support you feel according to the amount you stretch the belt. The belt should fit comfortably, but not too tight. To prevent skin irritation, be sure the hook and loop on the ends of the belt is entirely on the ASP and doesn't touch your skin.
4. Fasten the Upper Tummy Strap
For an extra sense of security, lightly stretch the tummy strap over and touch it to the hook and loop on the opposite side. The tummy strap is not essential, but many prefer to have it. You can also use the strap to help hold the back support up while you are positioning it. The choice to use it or remove it is yours.
5. Final Step (Optional)
Lay on your back with knees drawn up. Release the ends of the belt, stretch it again, re-attach it to the ASP and stand up. This will lift the abdomen higher to achieve even greater relief from sagging weight and leg pain. Repeat this step each time you put on your support.
6. Grows With Baby
Your Nexcare Maternity Support is now in place and you're ready to go! As you and your baby grow, Nexcare Maternity Support expands to accommodate this growth by simply fastening further away from the center of the ASP.
Care instruction: Hand wash in cold or warm water with mild detergent. Hang dry. Do not machine wash or dry. Take care to cover the hook and loop so it doesn't tear the fabric as you handle it.
