I've only used it three or four times, but it shows signs of wear from washing, etc. The Shinto priest said that since good things are happening one after another, it would be fine to use the same belly band as my older child for the safe childbirth prayer on the Dog Day. However, I couldn't find the belly band from my older child, so I purchased this one again. Thanks to it, I gave birth to a healthy baby. Thank you for looking.
