This is helping me to continue wearing my pre-pregnancy jeans without having to button them. The only recommendation I have about it is that if you're like me & have wider hips than waist, & if you're choosing between two sizes, go for the larger size. I went for the smaller. While it fits me, my waist is still small enough that it wants to slide upward, if I move around a lot. My solution is to wear it low on my hips, folded in half, so that it's touching only my jeans & not my skin. I think that later, when I'm further into pregnancy, it will stay in place. I also think this will be helpful to wear just after delivery.

Around week 14, my regular pants starting getting too tight. This was a lifesaver. It allows you to keep your pants up, yet conceals the fact that they're not buttoned. I was nervous it would be noticeable but it hides it well and holds them up, without being uncomfortable.

Around week 25, I was in maternity pants but as maternity pants can droop (especially the jeans), this helped keep them up. Again, comfortable. I wore this until the end of my pregnancy, and it always looked like a white T-shirt underneath my maternity top.

Postpartum, this was also a lifesaver. For the first three months, I still had to wear my maternity pants unfortunately, but obviously the only way to keep them up was this band. Then when I began to fit back into my regular jeans but wasn't quite there, this helped me keep them closed until I could button them again.

This is a great product for all maternity stages and it's really a necessity. The only thing I would recommend, if this price seems high, is to check out other knock offs. For example, Target makes a band similar to this that is supposedly much less expensive though I have not tried.

I am now 20 weeks pregnant and I've been wearing my bella band for a good 1 1/2 to 2 months now. This band is perfect for when you can no longer button your pre-pregnancy pants, but aren't quite ready for maternity pants. I wear my every day!!! I love it.

I bought 2 BellaBands and really don't care for them. It's a great idea but.....
The BellaBand is just another layer I have to mess with when I'm already feeling uncomfortable and awkward. I also have wider hips and a small waist and the BellaBand constantly rides up, sometimes above the pants waistband I'm trying to hide. I find myself having to wrestle it back into position every time I rise from a sitting position. I also don't care for how tight it feels around my waist, especially when I'm sitting. I'm wearing the correct size and find it very uncomfortable at times.

Love this band! Once you start using all those maternity clothes, it seems as if your wardrobe comes to an end. But these bands helped be continue using my regular pants for quite some more time (I was even using them through week 37). I have two, one in black and one in beige. They're super comfy and, even though some reviews say they tend to run down, I didn't have that problem. The band would stay in place all day. I like a more "snug" fit and I believe they gave me just that support but it all depends in the size you get it guess... The black one you can even use and pull it off as the lower part of a T-shirt or cami. So it doesn't look at all as a maternity band or weird support item. Just loved how I didn't feel limited with this little piece in my closet!
