FYI - bellaband sale

Apparently the original bellaband is on sale for $10-6.50 each.  I have a ton of old tank tops that I think will work for covering up my pants when they are undone (maybe I'll have to sew in some elastic?) so I may skip the sale.  What do you think girls?  Planning on buying or skipping this?

  • Oh, I am tempted because I hope to get away without having to buy jeans or pants for work.

  • Tanks aren't cutting it for me when I wear my pants undone.  They aren't tight/stretchy enough to hold the opening down flat.  You see the edges poke out, and it's obvious my pants are open.

    I bought a blank belly band last weekend and have been loving it so far.

  • I can still button my jeans, but I know my tanks won't cover properly once I have to undo the buttons.  I'll look into the sale, thanks for the heads up!

  • I bought the Trendy Top at walgreens for $10 (in the As Seen on TV section). It's not meant for maternity but it's exactly like the bands and comes with a black and white cotton stretch band for half the price. Comes in M,L, XL.  I'm too small to use it yet, but I tried them on and think it should work well

  • Thanks a lot! appreciated the heads up. I have a pattern for a Bella band and was going to make my own but for $6.50/ea I just bought two. I'll make some later if i need more color options.

  • I bought a bellaband for my first pregnancy and I *loved* it.  It was great for post partum too when you don't fit into your regular jeans for a while, but I was able to just wear them unbuttoned.  I still use it (even before being pg again) when I wanted to wear shorts or something that were too tight around my waist.

    I would definitely buy some!  Although I don't know if it will allow you to stay in regular clothes throughout the whole pregnancy, plus, maternity pants are so comfy, haha I'm looking forward to wearing them.

  • I should say I want to get away without buy maternity pants for as long as possible!

    I just ordered bellabands in white, black, and yellow.  Many of the colors are already out of stock.

  • Just ordered 2. Thanks for the heads up. FYI... there are some original "lace" ones too at the discounted price (https://www.ingridandisabel.com/product/1112/bellaband-lace.html). They had chocolate available in my size in lace (which is a more neutral color, IMO) whereas I could only get yellow, pink, etc in the original bellaband.

    Gooooood point.  I didn't think about the poking out part.  I think I will still be able to do something with them but I decided to buy a few bands anyway (white, black, orchid and yellow canary)
