I just heard about these, and I think they are genius! My pants have officially gone from being uncomfortable to not buttoning.So I wanted to know if any of you have tried the belly bands, and what brand(s) you recommend.
My husband bought me some from Baby Be Mine. I liked them because they were longer. My MIL bought me one from Motherhood and I'm not sure what brand it is but it is half the size. I found it most comfortable to turn it inside out and have part of it tucked in my pants and then I would pull up and fold it over.
A friend gave me one of her old belly bands and I love it. The brand is Belly Brites. If you sew they'd be super easy to make as well. I'm a X-Ray Tech and I wear it with my scrubs as they still fit but are pushed down pretty low in front due to belly. also great with jeans. Just pop and elastic band around your button and thru the loop then throw the belly band over and ta-da! you're wearing your old pants comfortabley. I like the way it makes my love handles feel snuggled in too. I know target sells some variation of them...not sure how good they are. I highly reccomend them though, especially if you're not ready to give up your old pants yet.
These ones you can fold over now (while we are still a little on the small side) or pull them up over the entire belly later. I got 3 colors and wear them with my jeans everyday!
I got a set of BeBands from Target. I could NOT live without them. From my experience of what I have heard you either love them or hate them. I still wear them even though I do not need them as I'm in full-time maternity wear. I like the extra support & the smoothness that it gives me with my bump!

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Target BeBands here too! I loved them, but must say once I finaly decided to test a pair of maternity jeans out, I completely forgot about the band. Maternity jeans are in a whole other realm of comfort for me!!

This exactly!
My husband bought me some from Baby Be Mine, I love them, very soft, and long enough to cover what you need covered.
