i have one pair of skinny jeans that i tuck into boots where i wear my belly band. I try not to wear it to work though cause i feel like it needs a lot of adjusting once i stand back up from sitting. Just cause, like you said, now that the zip doesn't do up at all anymore i have to make sure there's not signs of the zip peeking out the bottom.
I stopped that months ago. If I had higher rising jeans maybe I could have pulled it off for longer but I always felt like my pants were falling down once I could no longer zip them.
I still wore it until about a week ago. I have only ONE pair of maternity jeans that fit me though so I'm probably going to have to keep wearing it with my regular jeans even though I don't like it as much now that I feel like the zipper is showing (being down) all the time unless I keep adjusting the band a lot.
Oh dear, no. It was just so uncomfortable, but then, apparently I'm carrying low, so maybe that's why? I started using the belly band to hold up the full panel pants really early, because I found that to be way more comfy.
I have to wear it with my Anne Taylor maternity pants. The panel in those jeans just does NOT hold them up, so I use the belly band to hold them up. I don't use the belly band with any of my pre-maternity pants....haven't been able to get into any of those for months now.
I could wear mine but like PP said I cant even come close to zipping my pants and they fall down alot. I am also nervous about leaving my jeans unzipped alot ruining the zipper.
I was never really a belly band fan, I stuck with the hair tye through the button hole until I switched to materity pants around month 4-5.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I have like, 2 pairs of jeans I wear mine with because they were purchased when I weighed about this much without a baby. I also wear it sometimes when my skin/muscles hurt. Just the little extra support feels good sometimes.
Re: Anyone else still wearing the belly band?
