Anyone not love their Bella Band?

MrsPatterson · March 2009

I got the BE Band from Target, so maybe it's just because it's the "knock-off" but I have to say, it's not love yet. I wore it on Saturday with jeans, folded in half so it would cover my open fly a bit more (I couldn't even get the jeans zipped). It kept riding up in the back and down in the front. Today I'm wearing in over work pants that I can zip, so I'm wearing it full-length/unfolded. It's rolling up in the back and falling down in the front. It's getting kind of annoying. If this keeps up, I might be the crazy loser who is trying to get into maternity pants at 9 weeks.

I hated it. It kept rolling up on me.

I was just getting on to post this same thing. I tried mine out on Saturday and it rode up in the back, so it didn't do much good. I was thinking about going to get maternity pants, but am afraid they might be too small later in the pregnancy. At this point I can still button my pants, but at the end of the day they get really snug. I might just hold out a little while longer and deal with tight pants.

Just got one Friday and I wore it to dinner Friday night without too much trouble. What annoyed me was readjusting it after every bathroom trip. Today for work I just skipped it and I'm wearing my jeans unbuttoned under my shirt!

I always wore mine folded in half, with the under layer tucked into my pants and the top layer covering the waistband (and I loved it)... not sure if that's how you wore it with your jeans. Jeans are difficult; I had to begin incorporating maternity jeans into my wardrobe about a month before I went to maternity dress pants. Good luck... it's so difficult to find clothes that look okay when you are in that weird place between regular and maternity.

you can also use the "rubberband trick" if that's more comfortable for you.

Mine worked okay but did require lots of readjustment after bathroom trips or just if I moved around a lot.

I wore mine a few times and just wasn't comfortable with it. It moved around and I constantly felt like it was sticking out the bottom of my shirt. I have a casual job and only wear jeans, so that's all I tried it with. I gave up and started wearing maternity jeans at about 10 weeks. I want to be comfortable!

I hated mine. It wouldn't stay put and by the time I was pg and showing for the second time it was unnecessary because my maternity started fitting sooner. The first time I was pg, I used it for about 4-6 weeks but still didn't like it because it didn't stay in place.

I haven't tried one, so I don't know if it works or not, but around 10 weeks I switched over to maternity jeans and casual pants. I can wear jeans to work now, so I've got a few pairs and there's the type where I can fold down the top. They're very comfy and you can't tell with a long shirt. I'm obviously not in maternity shirts yet, but the pants help.
