This is basically an artificial pregnant stomach, that is strapped on to a person's front to give the appearance of pregnancy.

They are used by women in early pregnancy to get them used to having the increased size and weight that they will experience in their later terms, and can also be worn by men to give them an idea of what it feels like for their wives or partners to be so big and heavy, making them more empathic towards the woman's condition.

They are also used in drama, when an actress has to appear to be pregnant either on TV, in film or on the live stage.
