BeBand vs. BellaBand

in 1st Trimester
Has anyone tried both and have a preference?  I'm wondering how, if any, they differ.

    I bought the BeBand last night and I guess it's thinner than I thought it would be.  I don't see how unbuttoned jeans wouldn't be totally noticeable.  Guess I'll just have to wait and see...

    Just a little tip for what worked for me: The BeBand is very tall. I put it on over my underwear so it goes from my hips past my waist. Then I put on my jeans, unbuttoned, over the part of the BeBand they comfortably cover. Then I fold the remaining BeBand over my jeans. It keeps the jeans in place and you can't tell that the jeans are unbuttoned...nobody can tell when I wear mine anyway....

    Thanks for the tip.

    I have both and love both.  The BellaBand is thicker than the BeBand though.  Why wouldn't you love fitting in your jeans as long as you can???  My friend who is farther along than I am and wearing maternity jeans wears hers to keep her loose maternity jeans up too.

    Loop a regular rubber band between the button and the button hole - its much cheaper and works just as well.  Personally, I think either option is a waste of money and I can tell when someone is wearing either option from a mile away.

    I have the BellaBand and I wore it this weekend for the first and only time - just to try it out.  I thought it was pretty comfortable and held up my unbuttoned pants great.  I got size one and I am hoping I can wear it when I am huge.

    I have both.  The BellaBand is thicker and better quality material than than the BeBand, but it costs twice as much.  I would say I'm just as happy with my BellaBand... and if it breaks down and I have to buy another one, no biggie!

    I have both.  Like the bella band more.  You can get it at destination maternity or their other stores (motherhood, pea in a pod).  I wore my bella band through out my pregnancy.  First. to stay in reg pants.  Next.  to keep maternity pants on. Then -. to hid my protruding belly button. Finally to keep maternity pants on again postpartum.

    Wearing one now. Its from Mimi Maternity or Motherhood, whatever it is called. I think it may be like Pea in the Pod. I bought the Be Band and hated it. This one is better.

     BeBand is at Target. Bella Band I think you can get online or maybe at like Nordstrom. I have yet to find the real thing. I got mine at Mimi Maternity. Its by Pea in a Pod.

    I have the BeBand. I do something similiar to what one of the PP's said, except that. after I fold it in half down over my jeans then I fold it again in half so that the fold of the band lines up with my jean line. It masks the "open button" look while not showing an line across my belly so no one notices I'm wearing it. When mine is folded this way it looks similar to the under the belly maternirty pants.

    You know, I never bought one with my Previous PG's.  I was given two by a friend and I was able to wear regular jeans yesterday with the Bella Band (or BeBand - it doesn't say).  It masked my unbuttoned pants well.
