1st Trimester

Dear Bumpie that told me how to wear my Be Band:

I love you.

Dearly.

Before you, I spent all day shimmying and unrolling it after I sat down.

Before you, I wanted to just throw it away.

Then you came and told me to wear it under my jeans, zip as far as I can, and then fold the top down over the button and zipper.

Because of you, I don't have to do the shimmy shimmy shake anymore in my cubicle.

Dear Bumpie that told me how to wear my Be Band,

Thank you!

    It was you! I couldn't remember your screen name though. Doh!

    You'll have to excuse me. I'm a little bit of a dork.

    A friend suggested the folding over to me, and I am eternally indebted!  At least I could pay it forward Smile

  • Yeah, they should put better instructions on the package. :) Glad you've got it figured out. I'm rocking the bella band today too!

  • I was going to post something about this today, too! SO helpful -- thanks so much!
  • I was wearing mine the "old way" before and didn't really think I had that much of a problem, but when I saw the new suggestion posted I gave it a try and am SOOO much more comfortable!

     Funny story: I'm wearing TWO bella bands today LOL.  One for my pants (tucked in and folded the new/good way) and then I'm wearing one as a tube top because the shirt I chose is a little too low cut for work, so I'm wearing the other bella band under it.  I just find it funny I'm wearing 2 today.  It's a little excessive I think.  Smile

    What a great idea!  I am starting to bust out (literally) of all of the tanks that I wear under low cut shirts for work (defeating the purpose entirely), I am going to try this!

  • Damn...I didn't know you were supposed to wear it like that. I gave mine to my sister in law because the thing was such a pain. Might have to invest in a new one.

    I wouldn't say you're supposed to, but it's definitely more comfortable!

    I have a small waist and big hips, so mine kept rolling down and up at the ends. SO annoying.
