Belly band vs. belly belt

I think I'm going to need one of these sooner rather than later. My jeans are already getting pretty snug.

Which one do you guys recommend?

I've not heard of a belly belt, what is that?

It's like a panel you hook to the button of you pants and it has a button that goes in the button hole.  Basically expands your jeans.

Wow! That's really cool I just googled it!

I would definitely recommend one of those over the belly bands, I had issues with them sliding up and off all the time!

I hate them both because either way you walk around with your pants undone and unless you are wearing a humongous shirt over it, people can tell.

Ditto pp that said you can tell your pants are undone either way.

I tried the belly band it was alright. A rubber hair band works the best for me. It kept my jeans prefect while waiting for my maternity to fit right.

Really? I disagree. I didn't think it was obvious at all with the belly band. It kind of bunches over the waistband and disguises it.

I wouldn't bother with the belt thing. As pp said, a hair band works just as we'll. but this one is harder to disguise. I wouldn't say you have a wear a humongous shirt; any casual blousy shirt that isn't skin tight would cover it up just fine.

I loved the belly band when pregnant with DD & I have a strange feeling I'm gonna need it sooner this time than I did with her!

I found that with my knit and cotton shirts people could see especially with the jeans. I don't wear that tight of clothes but I thought it was obvious and so did my husband. I can totally tell when other ladies are wearing belly bands too. But to each his own. I just got a couple pairs of pants that were one size bigger than my normal size and I loved those. Because I wore them pp.

I don't know which one I'd prefer but at this point, I'd take anything.  My jeans are so tight right now that I've been truly considering buying a small pair a maternity pants for comfort.  DH thinks I'm insane.
