Bella Band ?
I bought the one from Motherhood Maternity and maybe I am using it wrong, since it seems to bunch up and not hold up my pants when they are un-bottoned. It didn't come with instructions so could someone help this fashion-challenged person?
Signed
Not ready for maternity pants, just yet
TIA

Re: Bella Band ?
I did the same thing for me so I never was able to use it. A lot of people love it though so maybe I just couldn't figure it out either  I preferred jumping right into the maternity clothes rather then walking around with my pants undone anyway. Much more comfy!!

Re: Bella Band ?
Thank so much for replying! I was going nuts with this. I just took out my maternity clothes and the pants don't fit yet- I am only 13 weeks. So I guess I will this one more try and wear a long shirt I don't really see a choice.

Re: Bella Band ?
This is what I did with my bella band:
1. Put on pants..zip up as much as I could.
2. Step into the bella band and make sure it covers the bottom of where the zipper starts and cover all the way up to the top of my belly.
3. Put a longer shirt on, leaving some of the bella band to stick out...creating a layered look.
Hope that helps. I found it very comfy.

Thanks a lot! I just tried it and it helped a ton! We have a family bar-be-que in ten minutes and I seriously do not fit in my regular OR maternity clothes

Re: Bella Band ?
No problem, just keep checking throughout the night to pull down the bella band...unless you have small hips.
I have a butt, so the band rides up when I sit down and stand up.

Re: Bella Band ?
it fir me fine at first but as I approached around 9 - 11 weeks it started to bunch up on me too. Can you get a bigger size? I just stopped using it at that point and switched to maternity pants

Stephanie's plan worked! It fit fine all night. My problem isn't the size is too small but too big- it kept rolling down. I think I stretched it out trying to work on wearing it!
