Some Advice on buying a silicone belly -
Accelemon - 03-29-2020
So I've been considering buying a silicone belly for myself for a while now. More or less just toying with the idea. I found a particular one from IVITA that has caught my eye:
https://www.ivitabreastforms.com/product/full-silicone-belly-ldz15/
I was just wondering-is this particular brand worth it, along with this specific product? Or should I be looking elsewhere? I'm hopefully trying to get one within the 8-9 month mark for hopefully less that $150. If anyone could give me some reviews on it, that would be wonderful!
thanks for the advice in advance!

This is the one I bought a few years ago:

Not sure what the dimensions are on the one that you're looking at, but the specifications say 1.2kg, and that doesn't seem like it would be very big. I think that picture isn't an accurate representation.
One thing to remember about these sites is that whether it's just straight up lying or their size reference is off, it's always going to be smaller than you think. I bought the biggest one they had, advertised as full-term with twins and weighing 5kg, and I've included a picture of what I look like with it on. Now I'm a fairly big guy, 6'0"/220, so it might look bigger if you're smaller.
Aside from that though, I really like it. The weight and shape are great and the look is really pretty good when you use shapewear. It came with two plastic shoulder straps in addition to the large velcro band, but I took the straps off and just use the velcro. I would also recommend some kind of cami-type top as a base layer because the velcro can get uncomfortable if you don't wear something under it.
Basically if you want something that genuinely gives you a full-term size that isn't made of foam, it's probably going to cost more than $150, but you don't have to get into the $500+ Moonbump range to get a good look.

Yeah, I did manage to find another one that i think is the winner. Looks really close to what you have as well, i believe:
