Belly bands

Did you get one?

I'm reading a guide to pregnancy and they recommend getting a belly band and I was just wondering if that was a common thing to do.

Re: Belly bands

My friend recommended one so i could wear my regular pants longer. But I teach kids with autism who have severe behaviors and I just envisioned my pants on the floor during a behavior so i sprung for maternity pants when mine stopped fitting lol

At old navy i found jeans where its not the whole material stomach, it has just a thick elastic band at the top, those worked well for me.

I bought one early on and hated it. I always felt like my pants were going to fall down. I had better luck with the rubberband through the buttonhole trick and then switched to maternity pants.

I bought one, and wore it once. Hated it.

Right to maternity pants and I was so much more comfortable.

ITA! I either felt like my pants were going fall down or the be band kept getting bunches together. The hair tie trick worked great!

Re: Belly bands

I bought one and wore it maybe twice. I hated it. It was impossible to go to the bathroom with and it was really uncomfortable. I just switched to maternity pants and felt much better.

I bought one from Target, it works okay if I fold it down (basically doubled up)....it is a little annoying b/c it can roll up, but it does the job since I don't wear any form fitting tops with it.
