A device for supporting the abdominal region of a user. A
rectangularly-shaped stretch material having first and second distal ends
and fixture elements proximate said distal ends are provided for
facilitating the releaseable joinder of them about the abdominal region
of a user. A plurality of straps are affixed at the mid-point of the
stretch material which, in turn, support rings. A series of stretchable
bands pass through the rings and in turn are each connected to a pair of
connectors such that when the connectors are joined, the stretchable
bands provide a force against the stretch material urging the distal ends
toward the mid-point of this material.
