Does anyone have the Bella Band?
Does it really work?? I'm not quite ready for maternity pants, and I read somewhere that you can use it with your regular pants, unbuttoned. Also, where can you get them? Motherhood, maybe?? TIA

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I'm wearing mine right now  Since I really hate maternity work pants, I wore it right up until like 26 weeks the last time. I think it works great and I LOVE it...not everyone digs it though.
I purchased mine through babycenter.com, but I believe they have them at Motherhood. Around $25?

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I'm wearing it right now! Still inbetween my old clothes and maternity and I'd prefer to wear mine as long as possible. Nobody knows I'm undone all day long! Got it at Motherhood for like $16 I think.

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I'm thinking of getting one just because the bellys gotten so big that I feel like it's always hanging out of the bottom of my shirt and it really annoys me

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
Someone gave me theirs and I love it - it keeps my bigger maternity pants up.... I dont like the feeling of my jeans unbuttoned even with the band, so I just gave my jeans a vacation until I'm back in pre-preggo shape!

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I got mine like 2 weeks ago...I ordered it online....Just google Bella Band...I love it.
It makes you feel kinda sucked in too....I can see myself getting more of them.
I have black and want to get a white one now.

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I have a black one and live in it sometimes, depends on the pants, it is great and really works! I got mine at motherhood for about $25.

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I wear mine a lot. It helps keep the maternity pants that are too big up, and if you can fit into your regular jeans but not button them, that helps too!

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
i have it - and like it! when I start to wear it for a long time though it starts to be a little too tight. I would def. recommend it if you are in between sizes now.

I just pull the bottom of mine up and then back down. Leave the top the way it is?
I did notice the Original Ingrid and Isabelle ones are a little better made then the knock offs at like Motherhood and only a few dollars more $$

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I have it. I got it at "A Bun in the Oven" in Oceanside but they sell it in many maternity places now and online. It really came in handy for awhile but now at 30 weeks I feel like it's not as comfy and I stopped wearing it. But I definitely got some good uses out of it - I was able to wear my regular non-maternity pants much longer that way. Now I can't even zipper those same pants so it looks kind of silly even with the Bella Band. I tried it last week and it was not a success  !

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I've used it- I got the one at Motherhood. It works nicely, although, it was still quite shocking when I would go to the restroom and be reminded my pants were unbutton and unzipped!

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I never got one but I am thinking about it since I feel like I have to keep pulling up my maternity pants. How many wks. can you usually use it up to before you get too big for it?

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
I have it and love it. Ordered it from Pregnancystore.com and don't know what I would do without them. I feel like many of the maternity pants for work just don't compare to the quality and feel of my regular pants...so this way I can still wear them but not be uncomfortable.

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
This was my best purchase!! I used it in the beginning to hold up my regular pants unbuttoned and for maternity pants that were too big during that "in between stage". Then towards the end of my pregnancy i used it to cover my big ole belly since my shirts were barely covering my belly. Finally i used it immediately after birth to hold up my maternity pants i was still in.
Well worth it for $20.

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?

Re: Does anyone have the Bella Band?
i am prob the only person who doesnt love it LOL i have one from mimi maternity and i find it rides up in the back (i work with kids on the floor a lot so i am always bending, leaning, etc) and I find they dont look like reg shirts (llike a layered cami or something) i have had people ask me if i was wearing some kind of tube around my belly b/c i guess it didnt look like an extra shirt underneath my clothes
