Bella Band

Im finding already my clothes feel snug and it annoys me....will the Bella Band help me get more time out of my current clothes?

Re: Bella Band

I don't love the bella band. It's really hard to wear unless you have higher waist pants. with any pants that sit at or below the below button, I find that it rides up. And even then, you need longer looser shirts or you see it.

Re: Bella Band

ok confession, I thought the bella band was just too much money, esp because my jeans are only about a half inch to an inch from buttoning, so what I have been doing is using a hair tie to wrap around the button. I wear shirts long enough to cover the button and im good to go....I have bought a few pairs of maternity jeans, but they arent comfy yet

I LOVE it. I was doing the rubberband...hairband thing but for me this works much better. I find the top does ride up but the bottom almost always stays in place. Today my pants are wide open zip and all with my band.

Re: Bella Band

I'm thinking I really want to try this. Most of my work pants don't have buttons - they have that hook & tab fastener and rubber bands are too fat to slide under it. Plus it takes even longer in the bathroom when I'm fastening & unfastening rubberbands!

I had this issue as well. I hated it.

Yes!!! I loved it! I bought me an extra month in my reg. pants!

Then started getting too tight. Certainly worth it. Maternity pants will prob be too big anyway right now.

Re: Bella Band

I'm using it and love it!
Maternity pants don't seem to fit me right, or at least not yet. I have only been able to find 3 pairs that are loose style and softer fabric and therefore look right on.
So I wear the band for my reg pants.
I have it in white and black

YES!!! I love the Bella Band. I bought 2 and used them everyday in the beginning. Took a break during second trimester, and now use them in the end. They are awesome!!!

Re: Bella Band

I'm 24 weeks & generally wear materity pants (ugh), but the BellaBand still works w/ my regular pants- I'm too cheap to buy maternity dress pants- for when I've needed to be less casual. It does show when you wear low-rise pants and/or regular shirts, but at least w/ the black or white ones, it looks like you're wearing a tank top under the regular shirt.

Yeah I have some workout maternity clothes by Old Navy, but anything made of "pants material" or jean is saggy in my butt (and lord knows I have a butt) and then goes to the elastic band, and looks horrible.

I have a pair of cute cargo pants I got from Destination Maternity and they are the 1st pants I have worn yet. I have 2 dress pants and love them too, but have yet to wear them.....still a little big
