girdle alternative?

I keep reading about belly bandits for helping you not feel "loose" after birth.  One of my friends suggested i just use my bellybands (those things that hold your pants up early/mid pregnancy). Anyone tried this? it would be nice to not have to buy another thing i won't use real long.

    I haven't heard about the bellabands, but I am thinking about buying some Assets tanks.  I wanted nursing bras that would pull to the side as opposed to something that unsnaps (think sleep nursing bra) but would have more support... I saw the assets tank at Target and I thought HEY!  bonus belly sucker!  I have to go back to try one on, possibly after giving birth...  Just an idea.

    i don't know if the bellybands would give you that much support,  i'm not too familiar with them, but i thought they were mostly just knit

    the belly bandit is expensive, and from the reviews i've seen on amazon, they're kinda split, people either like them or think they were overpriced and worthless

    i'm getting one, because of the rcs, but this is the one i'm getting

    I don't think that they bellyband would give any type of support.  It would be like wearing a pair of maternity pants with the elasticy wasteband. 

    I posted this weekend about the Belly Bandit and didn't get much of a response.  I think I'm going to go ahead and order it.

    From what I've read bellybands used for after birth binding purposes do nothing.  I already bought a Belly Bandit and plan on using that.  I got the bamboo one because it's supposed to be the most breathable.

    I'm a big fan of Spanx.  I used them for a few months after having DD.  I totally plan on doing the same.  I even wore them under my soccer uniforms during games.  Just felt more like myself when my skin was held tighter together.
