s/o bella bands...??

MrsOlson

I have never used bella bands with my previous two pregnancies. What are they? Is it a band that goes around your normal jeans and then you don't button up?

With DD#2 I was in maternity pants by 7 weeks due to the bloat so this might come in handy for me. Where is the cheapest place to get them?

They are awesome!!  I wear mine when I just cannot button my pants anymore.

There are several different brands. I bought Motherhood Mat's version for maybe $16 back in 2009. Target also has them. The Bella Band is the most pricey.

Hehe I JUST posted about this on another thread... I got a beband at target for around $17.  I like it when I'm forced to wear something other than yoga pants   The bloat was making me super uncomfortable in button up pants so it was definitely a good investment for me.  It feels supportive but is still comfortable, and with a long enough shirt no one can tell you're wearing it.

I wear mine from Target sometimes. It rolls up in the back a lot of the time and so I have to adjust it a lot. which gets annoying. I just unbutton my pants and tuck the button in (i have hips to hold my jeans up) I do wear the beband every once in a while.

Same as pp... I think it was 16 at Destination Maternity for me (but I've seen them at Target too)... as nice as it was before I fit into maternity pants, its even better in the post-partum-nothing-fits period!

I used one for a short period during my first pregnancy.  It didn't stay in place that well, so I didn't use it much.  However, when I started the 30 Day Shred after having DD, it worked great to keep my stomach from flapping when I did jumping jacks.  Kind of like a sports bra for the tummy flab.  Gross, I know.

That's so weird, had to google it and totally a different purpose for dogs! https://www.dog-breeds.net/dog_diaper_belly_band.htm

I've never used one and I don't really plan on it. I'm pretty much just wearing yoga pants until I start to get a bump, then I'm just going to start wearing dresses for the rest of my pregnancy lol. The type of dresses I usually are are sort of 50's inspired, so it leaves quite a bit of room to grow, especially with larger sizes.
