Bella Band:

Re: Does anyone have either of these items?

I used the Bella Band for a few weeks. I will say I hated it, but it did its job and allowed me to wear my regular pants after I couldn't button them anymore. But last week I became big enough where they wouldn't even zipper, so I had to jump into full-on maternity pants.

There are mixed reviews on the Bella Band, some love some hate it. I mostly hated it but it was my only choice and it mostly worked. Get one, try it out and see. You can get them online but I know they're 26 bucks in Mimi.

ETA: In the very beginning, before the bella band becomes necessary, you can use a rubber band or hair elastic to keep your buttons closed. Wrap one end around the button, pull it through the hole on the opposite side and then wrap it around the button again. This works until you can't zip them up anymore.

I have the bella band and I like it.

I am not able to zipper my pants anymore and the bella band is doing the trick.

I am hoping this will last another 2 weeks before I enter Maternity pants world!

I HATED THE BELLA BAND!!!! It did not work the way it was supposed to but that might also be bc my i have a curvy butt which got bigger as i became pregnant... so that might be the reason...

I used the bella band, it worked well for me - although full maternity clothes are muchmore comfortable than the regular clothes + bella band.
