Bella band versus other brands

Just looking for input about whether you think the Bella band is better than other less expensive brands.  I want to buy multiple ones in different colors so I don't want to pay an extra $10-15 a band if the other brands are no different.  Thanks!

    I have a bella band which I purchased during my 1st pregnancy and to be honest with you, I only used it for a few weeks and then used my maternity clothes. I used it for maybe 2 weeks with this pregnancy. I definitely wouldn't be buying a whole bunch of them unless you are not very bloated and don't think you will be in maternity clothes soon.

    I don't think there would be much difference between the bella one and other brands.

     When I say a "whole bunch," I mean like one in black, white, brown.  I plan on using them pretty soon, as this is my third and I am starting to poke out a lot sooner than before.  I am in really good shape this go-round, as opposed to my last pregnancy, so I'm hoping that these will be useful for awhile.

    Hey, no need to apologize.  I didn't know what they were until a couple of weeks ago.  If they existed during my last pregnancy, I was clueless.

    The ones from Target are just as good--they're made by ingrid&isabel for Target.  That whole line (I think it's called "Be Maternity") is fabulous--all of their basics at a much lower price point!

    This! Love the Be Maternity stuff! I even wore the tanks under other tops when I wasn't pregnant. The other nice thing about the Be Band is that I wore it in between sizes after having the baby. It's good for transition growing up in sizes and slimming down.

    Another thumbs-up for the BeBand.  I bought two during my first pregnancy and used them for a few months before I switched to maternity clothes.  (And need to haul them out again soon.  Stupid bloat.)  However, I never tried a Bella band, so I couldn't say whether BeBands are comparable.

    I have one called the "belly button". Same concept, but it actually has a moveable button and slots to button to your pants. I like it a lot more than the Bella band, which always seemed to roll up or slip off of me.

    I could use one of these bands right now! I'm so bloated that I just had to unbutton my pants.  Thank goodness I have a flowy shirt on at work :)
