Bellybands

I am currently 9w5d Preg
and my pants are beginning to be too tight on me.

I do not want to buy larger sizes just yet, so i bought the Belly bands from target- the cotton ones in a few colors

Am i doing something wrong because they just dont work for me.

I bought a med, and they are very bunchy and makes me look bigger, i feel like i am not filling them out

any other suggestions??

I'm not sure what you mean by "makes you look bigger." It is extra material so it will add an extra layer, but they should lay flat. If they are bunching, you may need the larger size.

What I used to do was use a hair band and wrapped it through my button hole, around the pants button to give me an extra inch or 2 on my pants. Then I'd put the belly band over that to keep everything smooth and make sure my open pants were covered. It got me a few extra weeks before going into maternity pants.

HTH!

This is exactly what I did too. It takes some time to get it exactly right so everything looks smooth and is covered.
