Have any of you used belly bands? How are they? My bloating has taken over and my pants won't button. I have been doing the hair tie on the button trick with a longer top but I always feel like my pants are falling down because they are loose. Today, I was at Old Navy and picked up a pair of jean maternity pants and I am in love BUT I do not want to buy maternity dress pants/khakis for work or atleast for a little longer. Wasn't sure if belly bands were worth it?

Re: Belly Bands: Yay or Nay
I'm curious to see if later on they help with the pressure. I kept feeling like my youngest was going to fall out. I asked my OB at an appt if there was anything hanging out because it sure felt like it, I just couldn't see. They told me to try support panty hose, which I didn't. So I'm wondering if they can help for that. They didn't have this kinda stuff 16 years ago. I was lucky to find maternity clothes, cute ones weren't happening.
I have some maternity pants I keep trying out. But my belly isn't big enough to keep them up, so they slide down and you can see the panel peeking out the bottom of my shirt. I have found that pairing a band with the maternity pants keeps the pants up where they should be.
