Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
was so right! It kept sliding off my pants. Returning it tomorrow. However I do love my Kohls maternity jeans that I bought on clearance for $8.80!

Re: Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
I don't mind it, but I find I have to scrunch the whole thing down so it sits around my hips.

me too. i haaaated it.
AND ME TOO!! I love the Kohl's maternity jeans! Only 1 pair though (that i found on clearance.) I tried on other pairs in the store and they were awful.
I tried on every style of jeans that GAP had in stock at the roosevelt field store, and they all stunk too. I think I'll deal with 1 pair of jeans and just wear other pants!

Shorty!!! How are you possibly wearing jeans from Kohls???? They were too long for me!!! I guess you had them hemmed??
(BTW, I took your/your sister's recommendation about Beau Brummel for other maternity pants to get hemmed and they did an awesome job!)

Re: Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
I got the one from Target and would NEVER be able to wear it over regular pants with an open button/tab. Just the way it looked when I tried it made the part that was unbuttoned look like my belly button sticking way out ... so not so much helping me camouflage!!!
So I only wear it over maternity pants that are still a touch too big and it doesn't really help keep up the pants as much as it just covers my skin when the pants do slide down.

Re: Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
I heard the bella band wasn't great... I got the brand they sell in Motherhood and wear it everyday. And even though it's a little big on top it doesn't slide or anything, it's great!

Re: Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
I soooo agree! Hate the bella band. Wore it for the first time last month in NYC walking around and it kept sliding down and then my pants would open up... such a nightmare. Just stick with the maternity jeans. Much better and more comfy

no problems with the length at all! they're about 1" longer than ideal, but I don't mind. They're not dragging or anything.
I don't wear jeans too often anyway - can't wear them to work. It's only the occasional weekend if we have some errands to run or something.

Re: Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
I got a similar one at Target & love it. It has helped me wear my old pants for a couple of weeks. I found you have to double it over to camoflauge the open button.

Re: Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
I LOVE mine - I swear by it !! I actually went out and bought another one - 29 weeks and I can still wear my pre pregnancy jeans - Thank you very much Bella Band !! - I can not find ONE single pair of maternity pants, regardless of style, price, designer that are comfortable and fit me well ..........

Re: Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
I really like mine, too! I could see the potential for slippage though...perhaps the sizing throws people off?

Re: Anyone who said the Bella Band stinks
I used mine for a few Weeks, since my jeans where too tight and maternity jeans where way to big. I was constantly pulling the band down and I didn't like the fact that if you wore a tight shirt, you could see that the buttons to my jeans where open. THis was in the summer time, so it is probably much easier to wear in the winter. So even though I wasn't a big fan of it, it did serve its purpose for a while.
