What is an "Owie Pillow"?

The “Owie Pillow” is used to relieve abdominal pressure caused by using a safety belt when driving. It can be used by any motorist but is especially helpful to pregnant women and those who may be suffering from abdominal injuries, wounds, recent surgery, or pain. When properly used, the pillow is placed between your abdomen and the seat belt. Additionally, this product can be used by almost anyone who simply wants a more comfortable ride. It may also be used in conjunction with seat belt usage on an aircraft.

Why did I design this pillow?

I designed the pillow when I was pregnant with both my children. During the first pregnancy, I experienced pressure/discomfort when driving; this led me to think about how to make myself more comfortable because I needed less pressure and more “room” for my rapidly expanding belly. During my second pregnancy, the same problem reoccurred only this time I was muttering to myself ~ “I cannot be the only person that finds the seatbelt uncomfortable” ...and this is how the “Owie Pillow” became a reality.
