Hi y’all! When my wife became pregnant, she was worried that she would have to constantly expand her wardrobe as our wonderful growing child expanded her belly (yeah, I know babies grow in uteruses, but “belly” just sounds so much cozier). These Baby Be Mine Maternity Belly Bands allowed her to wear her normal pants and skirts with the waists undone all the way up to her sixth month.

After our child was born, my wife had no more use for the bands, but I didn’t want to see them go to waste. I have always been pretty trim, but I wondered if the Baby Be Mine Maternity Belly Bands might work for a growing beer belly as well as a growing baby belly, so I began to eat and drink excessively, allowing my belly to grow. My wife thought I was being idiotic, but I told her that she had had her turn, so she should let me have mine.

After gaining fifteen pounds and a noticeable paunch, the waists of my pants no longer buttoned comfortably. I undid my pants, wrapped my belly in one of the Baby Be Mine Maternity Belly Bands, and threw on an old oxford shirt. After buttoning just the top few buttons of the oxford, I looked as if I were wearing a particularly snug, extra-long, patterned t-shirt underneath. I went to my local watering hole and none of the guys recognized that I was wearing an article of my wife’s clothing!

I have now become a big fan of Baby Be Mine Maternity Belly Bands, and have bought additional bands to add to my wife’s collection. Well, I suppose I should say “my” collection since I’m the one wearing them. If my wife becomes pregnant again, I will, of course, share the bands with her. Who would have thought that my wife’s pregnancy and my frugality would result in the sharing of clothing between me and my beloved? I joke to her that my “child” is due any day now, and then rub my belly lovingly. My wife gives me a strange look, sighs, and then just shakes her head. I know she’s just jealous, so I tell her, “Hey, all you have to do is become pregnant again if you want to wear these Baby Be Mine Maternity Belly Bands. ” “I don’t know if your fathering another child is such a good idea,” she replies. I ask her what she means, but she just shakes her head and says, “Never mind. “

I ordered a bella band from you about a month ago and have never received it. Can you please contact me to let me know what is going on?

This belly band is huge. I’m a 5′2″, 125lbs woman and this band covers from the top of my bra to the middle of my butt.

It’s basically a tube top.

And I bought the smallest size but it is still falling down around my middle. Maybe if I cut it in half and wait several more months, I’ll be able to use it then.

I was at 12 weeks and my jeans were VERY uncomfortable. I ordered this after reading the reviews here but eventually went out to buy my own at Target since this item wasn’t going to get here soon enough. Now that I have them both, I love my target one better. It’s called a beband and it’s made by bellaband. i was a size 2 (preprego) and just went with the smallest size for both products. The beband at Target fit a lot better and for the most part, held up my pants. The trick was to make sure the band went down LOW past my hips and right to the end of my buttocks. Otherwise, I’d always be adjusting it everytime I got up from sitting. This bellyband was WAY too big, even for a small size. And it was not very stretchy so I can’t see it holding my pants up at all. The beband at Target was not very tight on me. My running tights felt tighter than these (before prego of course). They were both roughly the same price except with the belly band, I had to pay shipping (so really, the Target one was cheaper). That was my take. i’m going to keep this bellyband anyway and maybe when i get bigger it’ll work better. But for now, I was quite satisfied with my Target one. Hope that helps.

I recently purchased a belly band at 15 weeks pregnant. I have some maternity pants that are a little too big and some of my regular jeans that are a little too small so this seemed like the perfect solution. I’ve worn it a few times and it does hold my pants up but requires A LOT of adjusting.

It bunches all around and always rides up above the back of the pants. I’m in and out of a desk chair many times during the day which I’m sure adds to this problem. Everytime I get up or sit down I have to pull the band back into place.

It may come in more handy later on in the pregnancy but right now it’s just a hassle.

Expecting moms can use pregnancy bands to wear their pre-pregnancy jeans throughout the first trimester.

The bands can also be worn during the second trimester to hold up maternity jeans designed for the end of the pregnancy.
