Belly Bands?

D&J2008D&J2008
in Nurseries and Baby Gear

Is there a general consensus over here on the best one to get? (Brand/Type?)

I'm still early in 1st tri but if I was going to need to order one online, thought I might want to do that in the next few weeks.

Thanks!

    I don't think there's a consensus - some people like it (me) and some people find them useless.

    I bought 2 organic ones - 1 black and 1 white - directly from Isabel & Ingrid when they had a 50% off sale a while back.  They are very comfortable and held up well with repeated washing.  I used them exclusively from 14w to 23w before I switched over to maternity pants.

    Yes! I love this one. It is better than the one at Target which I think is called beband.

    The real Ingrid & Isabel one is better than the one from Target, though the Target one isn't terrible for use when you belly is just getting big.

    I've used both the Ingrid & Isabel ones and the Target knock-off ones.  Target is way cheaper.  The material on the I&I ones is softer, but maybe b/c of that it seems to roll down easier vs the Target ones.  They both do the job though. 

    I HATED maternity clothes and will try to wear my regular pants & skirts unbuttoned with an elastic band and belly band coverup as long as possible.

    I have the one from Target. I really disliked it. I used it during the summer and it was so freaking hot. Plus, in my tops you could still see that my pants were unbuttoned. It made my stomach a strange shape. This probably doesn't apply to you though since you will be wearing it for fall/winter.

    These worked great for the few weeks that my pants were getting too tight but I hadn't yet purchased maternity clothes.  I just bought one at Target.  I don't even like target but their belly band was great.  And I bought several of their maternity tank tops which I LOVE and still am wearing 3 months PP.

    I wouldn't buy more than one or two belly bands if you want another color.  You won't wear them for that long.  And maternity pants are so flippin comfortable that once I bough a couple pairs I never went back to my non-maternity clothes.
