  • A must have. I still use mine from my last pregnancy. I need to get another one. Jul 09, 2022

    • Medfield , Massachusetts

    Great for that awkward time in early pregnancy and postpartum when your normal pants are too small but you don’t fit in maternity stuff yet. This is the perfect solution! Sep 14, 2021

  • I did not find this comfortable or useful. It’s possible I just had the wrong size but it did not stay in place well at all. Mar 24, 2021

  • Skip the belly band and get maternity pants. Worked okay, but did just fine not using it and preferred pants anyway. Mar 17, 2021

    • Raleigh, North Carolina

    This was great for the transition between first and second trimester. It was good for postpartum too! It was comfy and did a good job holding my pants up. Feb 02, 2021

  • I really liked this belly band. I bought mine conveniently at Target. It saved me when I was in between regular and maternity styles. I used it postpartum too when my maternity jeans were too big. Jun 10, 2020

  • This kept rolling up and didn’t work. Maybe it was my body type. Apr 17, 2020

  • Bought these duding the first trimester when my work clothes no longer fit. They bought me some time between my old pants and maternity clothes, but they’re really not supportive for my growing belly Feb 14, 2020

  • Had a black and white and used comfortably in place of maternity pants until around 20 weeks or so. A bit pricey, but ordered from gap for 50% off during an online sale. Feb 02, 2020

  • I have this and I thought it would be amazing for the time in between my maternity pants and regular pants. Unfortunately the band wasn't tight enough to hold my jeans up and they would slip down. Jan 16, 2020

  • Love these! I have one in nude and black. I can use them over any jeans that I can still get over my hips (which is not very many pairs at this point...lol) and it covers my fly. Jan 03, 2020

  • Always rolled up on me. Used it only 3-4 times. Jan 01, 2020

  • Amazing pregnancy belly band! Only had to buy a few maternity items because these bands extended the waist of my pants/shorts/skirts. My set has lasted through 2 full pregnancies and now on the 3rd! Sep 16, 2019

  • I have two of these. They are okay but even with the anti-slip gel around the bottom, they still either roll up or move during the day. I found these better for me later on in my pregnancy. Jul 24, 2019

  • I guess it did it’s job, but it wouldn’t stay up on me even though it fit snuggly. I wasn’t super impressed. Just ok. May 30, 2019

  • This was perfect in early pregnancy to help my belly feel supported and to cover the gap where my jeans were not buttoning. Worked to wear my own jeans until into 3rd trimester! Apr 28, 2019

  • These are great! They are so comfortable you don’t even know your wearing it. They allow you to wear your own jeans without buying new ones. Feb 14, 2019

  • The band did not cover up bulging buttons or zippers. Fabric is too thin to use for a smoothing effect. Okay for belly support, but also seemed to roll up or bunch easily. Limited uses. Jan 30, 2019

    Saved me from buying expensive maternity jeans! Jan 17, 2019

  • good alternative when you aren't ready for maternity clothes but you don't quite fit in your normal clothes :/ cheap investment to make your pre-pregnancy clothes last a bit longer Jan 01, 2019

  • I bought this in three colors, not only does it keep my pants up but I like the added support of the band on my bump. Nov 27, 2018

  • This definitely helped in the first trimester when pants are uncomfortable or too tight at the waistband. However, I voted neutral on this because its usefulness is short-lived. Sep 10, 2018

  • Great. Was able to extend the life of many of my non-maternity clothes with this. Also felt like it gave my growing belly some additional support Aug 26, 2018

    Wore my first pregnancy, but not my second. They do what they’re intended, but it’s also just so much better to get into maternity clothes sooner! Jul 23, 2022

  • I only used this a handful of times. It’s a cool idea but wasn’t really practical for frequent use as it is cumbersome to pull on and off, especially once your belly starts growing. May 04, 2020

  • This helped me stay in my regular jeans longer, but in the long run kept me from being more comfortable in actual maternity pants. I was constantly having to adjust this when I stood up or sat down. Apr 28, 2020

    • Myra S.

    • King City, California

    Was a little uncomfortable and frustrating because it kept rolling up. But it was better than buying brand new expensive jeans that won’t fit me after birth Aug 20, 2019

    • Lake Charles, Louisiana

    I love this. I work at the plant so I have to wear fire retardant clothing. This band allow me continue wear my work clothes in comfort! Apr 06, 2019

  • This saved me from needing to buy maternity pants before I was ready to. I also used them after delivery. I loved that they were high waisted and made nursing more discreet by hiding my belly. Feb 21, 2018

  • I purchased a belly band but I didn't really like the fact I had to always pull it up to potty and if you bend over it bunches up and I always had to pull it down Feb 21, 2018

  • This band did not work for me. I felt like it could be seen and did not feel comfortable. Nov 07, 2017

    • Maeve S.

    • Mckees Rocks, Pennsylvania

    This worked great for me! I was able to get away with no maternity clothes thanks to this (thankfully leggings and oversized tops were in style). Worked with my jeans and work slacks. Jul 23, 2017

  • These bands made it possible for me to wear my non maternity jeans, great product Feb 24, 2017

  • I'll use this in the beginning of my pregnancies. I don't think provides great coverage over buttons. I could still see mine when I wore this. I prefer the old hair tie around the button better. May 18, 2016

  • LOVE these. I strongly recommend getting one or two. I never bought any maternity pants/jeans/shorts because I was able to use the bella bands with my pants that I already own. Feb 09, 2016

  • Love that I can still wear my same bottoms two months before my baby's arrival. Jul 11, 2015

  • This helped me stretch my pre-pregnant wardrobe to the very last moment! I dreaded spending money on clothes I'd only wear for a little while. I was able to use this with jeans and workout pants. Jun 29, 2015

    • Kay L.

    • Ann Arbor, Michigan

    This was perfect for late 1st trimester/early 2nd trimester when you don't need maternity clothes yet, but your old pants are a little too tight. Feb 02, 2015

  • Loved this. This allowed me to wear many of my clothes during the 1st and 2nd trimesters. Dec 08, 2014

  • Was uncomfortable with 2 different pregnancies & never kept my pants up. Wish it had worked! Nov 07, 2014

  • Lets me continue to wear my regular pants even now at 30 weeks! Oct 27, 2014

  • Definite must have for those months before & after when you don't quite need maternity clothes but aren't able to button up the regular jeans. Stays in place well, I loved it!! Oct 27, 2014

  • Loved this! I used it for month after I gave birth too! Oct 04, 2014

  • Good during 1st and 2nd trimesters Jul 31, 2014

  • Definitely wore this every day once my shirts got 'shorter.' It was great to feel comfortable and still be able to wear some of my pre-prego shirts without feeling too self conscious. Mar 16, 2014

    • Erika T.

    • United States of America

    I really loved this band through most of my pregnancy. It allows you to wear your non-maternity clothes for a long time and it is pretty comfortable. Perfect for the awkward stage before you pop! Feb 20, 2014

  • i have a bella band and used it through three pregnancies and nursing relationships. it's still in great condition and wish i had several more. Feb 15, 2014

  • great for that in between stage when you're not quite ready for maternity pants, or you need some extra support post-baby Dec 03, 2013

  • I found myself wondering why I haven't been wearing these all my life. It's worth getting the brandname -- they hold up better in the wash. Nov 29, 2013

  • Worked great with suit pants (until my seam was no longer centered, which was awkward. Did not work with jeans (jeans slid down while band slid up when I sat down). Really made me have to pee. Jul 27, 2013

Everyone
  • Q: How tight is something like this? How does it help someone stay in non maternity clothes until 7 months (as one person said in the comments)?

    asked by Jessica O. - Mar 22, 2014

  • The one I had was not uncomfortably tight, and had a lot of stretch, so it stayed on. It kind of acts like a camisole, but doesn't ride up as your belly grows, while your shirts do! I also liked wearing super-long tank tops under my shirts, but this was a great option when a tank wasn't ideal.

    Sara S. - Mar 22, 2014

  • Yes absolutely!--I'm 2 weeks from my due date and still use them. I find they help to cover up a gap between my pants & shirt, caused by my growing belly.

    Erin L. - Mar 23, 2014

  • In addition to covering up the belly gap, it also allowed me to use a rubber band on my jeans and then I would cover that with the bellaband- voila, no need for maternity pants! I'm 11mo pp now and still use it to keep my midriff hidden when nursing my daughter.

    Laney L. - Mar 23, 2014

  • it's not too bad (and i'm pretty sensitive about having tight things around my belly/waist. I used it once my pants started getting tight until i got enough maternity pants, and then again postpartum while my regular pants were all still too tight. This migh differ based on how you carried, but i found it helpful and it saved me from having to spend too much on maternity pants early on.
