Bella Bands
Has anyone seen these? Does anyone have one and can you tell me if it works? I just ordered it and am hoping it wasnt' a waste of money like the extender was! My problem is that my pants either lower when I sit or they just fall when I walk... Supposedly with this I'll be able to wear my regular jeans longer???

Re: Bella Bands
I love these!!! I was able to wear them up until my third trimester. And in the beginning I was able to wear maternity pants earlier.

Re: Bella Bands
I bought one a lot later in my pregnancy..wished I did sooner.
It basically holds up the pants without having to purchase maternity right away.
If you can get away w/ones that you have now, pant or jeans..with the button open, it covers that area.
I also used it for ones that wouldnt stay up..maternity pants.

Re: Bella Bands
I bought during my first trimester and love them...I wear them now in my third for the maternity pants that don't stay up. They were one of the best investments I made along this trip.

Re: Bella Bands
Def. not a waste for me. I even used it in my third trimester, when all the shirts were too short and my belly would show.

Re: Bella Bands
I'm almost 36 weeks and have worn one just about every day since the end of the 1st trimester. I'm even wearing it in my avatar picture (under my dress) to smooth out lines.
Now I wear them because my maternity tops are a little short and I dont want to show belly skin.
Best $15 I've spent during this pregnancy!

Re: Bella Bands
I just bought one in black from Nordstrom...and of course I couldn't help it so I had to get the SPANX PowerMama Power Panties...they look like they could do the trick to my expanding hips...
BTW: What color do you all have your bella bands in? I got it in black since it goes with pretty much everything.

Re: Bella Bands
I actually didnt use the band until my last month. I found that not only did it help hold my pants up, but it smoothed out my belly so my belly button didnt stick out

Re: Bella Bands
I have a black and a white one (got one on today!) So far I can still wear all my regular pants just unbuttoned w/the bella band. The bella band is tight enough that it pretty much flattens out most buttons...so you cant tell that your pants are undone. I like it, and I like that I can still wear my old pants, but I still can't wait to take the band off at the end of the day and put my sweats on!

Re: Bella Bands
i have a black one i just started wearing this past week but i only need it for certain pants. so far its ok. the real prob is my pants were fitting a little snug pre-pregnancy as it was soooo i'm really pushing it now.
