Delay Wearing Maternity Clothes with a Bella Band

So far, your pregnant belly looks more like a beer gut hanging out between your unbuttoned jeans and that too-tight top. Until you can justify full-fledged maternity wear, spare yourself the Homer Simpson look by pulling on a Bella Band to hide that bustin'-out bump. You also might want to pull it down over that plumber's crack while you're at it.

I have a knock off brand called a tummy sleeve, which works just as well. I wore it through my whole pregnancy last time and have already started wearing it this time. They just don't make maternity pants long enough for my long legs, so wearing my regular pants up until the end is great for me and the tummy sleeve helps me achieve this.

I used my Bella Band all the time! I found that it kept riding up in the back though, but Pocket Dots solved that problem... http://pocketdots.com I never had to worry about adjusting it!

Love, love, love my Bella Band! Mine is actually a knock off that I found a seller on eBay selling New in the Package. The actual Bella ones are a little pricey, but this lady sells them in packs of three for $25 with a bunch of different colors. I am 30 weeks and still wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes. It almost looks like you are layering shirts if you wear a shirt that is just a tad short. I swear by it and wear one every single day!

I loved mine and used it a lot in that awkward between-clothes post-partum stage!

I loved my Bella Band, especially when I was trying to hide my news still (up until 15 weeks). It's wonderful for the most part, but it has to be pulled down really low in order not to roll up every time you sit down. It shows if you don't wear long shirts. When the pants first start getting too tight, my friend told me to put it on normally and then fold the top to the bottom for a 1/2 band with extra support.

i've been using a bella band since my pants got tight. it's comfortable and easy to use, and i'm still wearing my normal pants.

Bella bands are great for those post-partum days when you can't quite fit into your regular clothes again but can't stand the thought of putting on your maternity clothes again.
