BellaBand (White Size 1)

I bought several of these Bella Bands when I started outgrowing my normal (pre-maternity) clothes. I liked that I could still wear my favorite jeans a few months longer, but I must say that it wasn't very comfortable. And, at work (I have an office job), I get up and down from my desk all day and each time I stood up I needed to pull down the Bella Band because it would ride up when I was sitting. This makes for a slightly embarrassing moment at the office if anyone is watching me pull it down.

I've heard from other women talk about another product that you can buy where a panel zips in to your pants/jeans and buttons like your normal pants (but haven't found them myself). They say it's much more comfortable and I would have to guess that you don't have the problem of the panel needing to be adjusted every time you stand up.

I love the idea but it rides up constantly. I think it should be made in a different material thus to reduce the riding up prob. It looked great until I sit down then you could see my rear :) I was constantly pulling it down and was worried I was showing some extra skin.I guess if you dont have curves it probably wouldent be able to move around so much? But who doesnt especially pregos.

I am 24 weeks pregnant and use the BellaBand with my pre-pregnancy pants and jeans unzipped and unbuttoned. I found to reduce the sliding, I fold it in half. It really smooths out my pants and makes me feel more secure. I hardly ever have to adjust it and I am constantly up and down all day at work. I was in size 4 or 6 pants before pregnancy and I bought a size 1. It fits perfect!

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.

I wasn't sure if I would like or use the BellaBand when I purchased it. I am happy to report that I am 11 weeks and use it daily! I actually began using it at 8 weeks- just to relieve the pressure of the top button on my pants. It basically looks just like I have a tank under my tops. I purchased the white band and find that it goes with everything. This is a must have!
