Not For Everyone This band always rode up my back and bunched under my belly causing me to always re-adjust, tucking and pulling it back into place, and caused a lot of discomfort. I had to put it away once my belly really started growing. I think body type may determine how comfortable and successful this band works. It is a great idea.
Gotta have it! I am so glad I bought a Bella Band! I'm twenty weeks and I can still wear pre-maternity clothes with it. It also helps hold up my maternity pants that are too big. I highly recommend it.
How to WearNewly pregnant:Ideal with pre-pregnancy jeans, pants, skirts and shorts that are unbuttoned and even unzipped a bit. Wear any pre-pregnancy favorite as long as your bum and hips allow. At this stage, we like the Bella Band folded over adding an extra layer to disguise bulky unfastened buttons and zippers. It also adds strength to hold up your pants. Great with transition wear that may fall down around your hips if you're still small but enjoy the comfort of an expanded waistline.Definitely pregnant:Great with so many maternity styles. The Bella Band conceals excess fabric, smooths out panels and elastic waistbands, and holds up any style that might feel a bit loose. Great with any transition wear that may be tightunbutton them to get a little more use! At this stage, the Bella Band works folded over or in a single layer... whatever feels good. It's also comfortable with drawstring pants that fall below the bellythe Bella Band holds them up!So very pregnant:Sometimes that belly pushs under-the-belly styles down around your hips. Use the Bella Band as an extra reinforcement over your maternity waistband. Try a single layer covering the belly and waistband if you want some support. Otherwise, double-layer over your under-the-belly waistband.Recovering Belly Babes:OK, so you can't leave the hospital in pre-pregnacy clothes (and if you can, we don't want to hear about it). Bring your Bella Band to the hospital. Wear with maternity that is too big and pre-pregnancy that can't fasten around your waist. You'll have more clothes to choose from, and feel better with it on. Nursing mom? There are fabulous new styles that allow you to nurse inconspicuously. For the days you don't have one of them on and need to lift from below, the Bella Band hides your recovering belly so you can feel better about how you look.
The Bella Band Bundle consists of one of each of the following colors (3 Bands total): White, Black and Chocolate. The Bella Band is a seamless knit band you wear at your waistline, over your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy pants, over slightly big maternity pants, or around the waistband of any maternity style that falls down around your hips. The Bella Band holds your pants up, disguising bulky unfastened closures or excessive fabric creating a smooth belly surface. Now, no one has to know your pants are undone or loose.Wear the Bella Band concealed, or let it peek out from under your top for that hip, layered look. If your top rises, it looks like a t-shirt or camisole -- not a funky mechanism to expand your waistband or hold up your pants.
bella band Great product! I use these almost everyday. I am only 10 weeks but am already showing...a little too small for maternity pants, and a little too big for regular (size 8) pants. I bought the bundle so I could have a variety of colors to choose from. I am surely getting my money's worth! I got the size 2 and it works great. Not too tight and not too lose.

belly flop I'm not happy at all with this product. Though I bought a larger size (as recommended) I still found the band to be too restrictive. It fit fine whilst standing, but after 2 minutes in the car (at only 4 months along) I had to pull over and take it off! I recently gave it away. Sporty elastic belts and long tank tops under shirts looked and felt much better.

Covers belly, don't expect it to hold up your unzipped pants. Many of us stretch our non-pregnant clothes by unbuttoning and unzipping our pants a bit. These bands, I thought, were intended to help keep those pants up. but I think now they are more to cover up the fact the pants are undone. Which is fine. Just can't stretch those non-prego clothes as far as I wanted. the tighter versions/other brands of these bands that seem like they would hold your pants up are just too tight on my belly andcause pressure making my belly hurt.
