Keeping your bellaband from rolling up

So I got a couple of the bellabands when they were on sale last week ($10 and $7!)

and while I don't need it with all my jeans, I do have a couple of pair that I already need it with. Im wearing one of them today (they are my nicer jeans that I wear to meetings with clients at work)

but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to keep it from rolling up in the back and letting the back of my jeans hang out below it. 

Every time I sit down, its up over the top of my jeans and not staying on the waistband of my jeans. 

Any recommendations?


Re: Keeping your bellaband from rolling up

  • You almost need to wear it pulled so far down it covers your butt. Also, at this stage, pulling it on, then folding the top half back down, so than the top elastic and bottom elastic are at the same place.

    This.  When I wear mine I have it in line with right above the back pockets and halfway down the zipper in the front.  Then flip it in half.  I wear longer shirts with it so the band doesn't look too out of place. 

    I also highly recommend folding them over. The belly bands I had were really long. I would pull it over onto my waste, put on my pants (so the belly band would be under my waist band) and than pull the top over my waste band to cover my waste band. I hope this makes a little sense because it is hard to explain!

    This!!!

  • I agree with PPs- I put the band on first when getting dressed, and tuck the bottom portion into the band of my underwear to keep it in place, then pull up pants, and fold the top of the band down over them....doesn't roll!  I wouldn't wear the band unfolded until you have a big bump to keep it from rolling down.
