First, I am not pregnant, so I cannot speak to its usefulness on that front. I bought this as I have read that pregnancy pillows help with other issues and I was desperate for a good night's rest. I was having trouble getting to sleep due to not being able to get comfortable after tossing my YEARS old "normal" pillow away- and I have learned since that it seems to have been the only pillow to have worked for me. Ugh! I suffer from chronic teeth grinding and TMD thus- often wake up with shoulder/neck/lower back pain due to it. So, after doing a ton of research I landed on this pillow. I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg, as I wasn't even sure a pregnancy pillow would be the answer to my troubles. This seemed to fit the bill of reasonably priced while still getting a decent pillow. I'm happy but not thrilled and I'm already looking to buy a different one (two week later).Problems:1. My biggest problem is the size. It's just way too small. I am only 5.6 1/2 (feet) tall and the part that goes in between your legs literally stops at my crotch. Although I do have a few pounds to lose- I am not obese, so it's not like the height is being stretched smaller due to it having to adjust around a large body. That being said- I can't imagine having a big baby bump and it even pretending to wrap in between my legs.2. Doesn't hold its shape. This is very irritating, as I will wake up in the morning and the U shape will be completely loss and it's almost a straight line as in, the sides that wrap around my body will be 2 feet or more away from me on both sides. It would be one thing if I was a massive mover and kicker in my sleep, but as my stiff body and husband could attest, I move minimally in my sleep. Even while lying in bed browsing my phone, I am constantly bringing the two sides back closer to my body—and I’m awake- and NOT tossing and turning. Due to its lack of ability to stay in its U shape I can see how it would be far more versatile (i.e. using it as a breastfeeding pillow, tossing it on the couch, etc.) but that positive in versatilely creates a negative in a good quality for a "bedtime" pillow.Successes:1. Beautiful gray color. Soft to the touch. No smells or "Gassing off" (I used right away out of the box).2. I do like the detachable part although I don't use it as I thought I would be. I thought I would like the versatility of detaching it and using it in other ways but that isn't so. I have never actually unattached it but rather I flip it such a way that it allows me to prop my shoulders in a certain way to prevent pain. Because the detachable section is just a flat piece of material (and not stuffed) you can toss, turn, twist, and flop it lots of different ways as it doesn't have the "thickness" of the pillow "fluff" to accommodate. The zippers on it are a bit bothersome, but I'm able to overlook that- but people sensitive to touch may want to consider that fact b/c there is a ton of zippers on that small section (and when you prop your body up with your elbow and happen to land on one of those zippers- You'll know it! ouch!).Overall:I'll be keeping/using it while looking for the next bigger/better Pregnancy pillow as I do believe it will help to solve at least some of my sleep troubles, as this pillow, even with its faults, is still better than the "normal” pillow I was using before. Once I find a new one, I'll keep this one to toss on the family couch in the den for some extra cuddles, as there isn't anything wrong with the look or general comfort. It's a great 2nd pillow to have on hand for a nap downstairs- but definitely not the MUST HAVE pregnancy pillow that would have J-Lo dumpster diving to retrieve (movie reference: The Back Up Plan)--- and THAT is what I'm looking for with my next pregnancy pillow.
