Abstract
The maternity supporter comprises a narrow strip of contoured elastic material having continuous harness straps at either end. VELCRO hooks are located at the inside ends of the straps, with receiving pile portions located further down on the outside of the straps. The maternity supporter is designed to be worn over undergarments by placing the narrow strip around the lower part of the abdomen, crossing the straps behind the back, and stretching them over the shoulders and toward the sides, where the hooks from one strap are then readily applied to the pile portions of the opposite strap.
