Belly bands!

Does anyone use them and if you do what do you like about it, did it actually help? Is there good and bads? Where did you get yours? Is there a better brand than the other? Just curious! I've looked around for one in stores but could never find one other than on Ebay and have heard good and bad reviews about them. What's everyones opinion?

Got mine from target too, around 20 bucks I believe. Just wear it over your unbutton jean and a loose top. I got a white one so it looks like I'm layering my top over a longer tank top. It does move up a little with your movement so I do adject it every time I stop by the bathroom. I'm planning on using it for after the birth since it's going to be a while before I can fit back into my regular jeans.
I think I saw them at babies r us too.

I got mine from Target too, I ended up having to go back and get a bigger size because I got so much bigger..but I loved it for a couple days then I ended up hating it because I didn't like how close it was to my body and I didn't like that I kept having to pull up my pants no matter what. It also kept coming up from around my pants and just being too tight around my belly so I don't wear anything but yoga pants now. But hopefully it works better for you!

I have the one from target. I wear it almost every day, just makes my maternity pants stay in place (I'm long past the point of being able to wear my regular pants lol. For some reason they never want to stay put, so it's doing a great job.

I got mine from target and wore it everyday up until a few days ago. (Im 39 weeks and have been just wearing sweatpants. Lol)
I absolutely loved it. It helps when your shirts get too short... your belly doesn't stick out.. you can wear your pants unbuttoned and no one can tell.. and if you have pants that are too big it helps keep them up.
They're awesome. (:

I went to motherhood maternity to buy one of theirs and they told me to buy a Bella Band off the internet because they are the best. I love mine for holding up maternity pants that are still a little too big or pants that are too small (you can keep the button and zipper undone and you can't tell with the Bella Band on. I also liked it a lot after my first pregnancy because I had a c-section. It gave me a layer between my pants and the scar as well as holding my stomach in a bit. They are great and not too expensive. Just look up Bella Band and it will take you right to their site. They also have plus sizes!

I've heard target has good ones. I've been advised not to use them so your pre preggo pants don't get stretched out.
