Belly Bands, which is the best?

jade7kb · May 2012

I did not use a belly band with my first child, however that was 6 years ago. Now it seems to be the thing to buy, but I don't know which one is the best. Has anyone actually used or is using one of these, and which one do you like the best?

Personally I've really liked the Pea in the Pod Belly Bands--I have 2: one in black and one in beige

Does it like, keep your pants up too? Or just to support your preggy belly?

Depends on what you are using me for. For true support, I like the belly belts.

I ended up buying the organic bella band directly from Ingrid & Isabel, as they were having a 50% off sale for the organic version about 1 month ago. I read that even though Target's be-bands are also by Ingrid & isabel, the be bands are of a lesser quality.

With the sale, the bella bands I bought came out slightly cheaper than the be bands, and that includes the shipping cost.

I've been using the bella bands for 3 weeks now and they work well. I learned from other posters that I should put the band on first, then my pants, then fold the top half of the band over the pants. I follow this instruction and I haven't had any issues with the band rolling up/down or bunching up ( <- the biggest complaints I've read about these bands).

I thought the sizing on the Target ones was a little weird for me, didn't fit very well. Mine are by Bella Vonna from eBay (they had S, M, L, XL, etc. instead of S/M and L/XL like Target) and I haven't had any issues - they work great. They were also a lot cheaper! Like pp have said, put the band on first, then the pants, then fold the top of the band over your pants for best results!
