Tell me about it. Some women love these bands; I was never so lucky. The back would always roll up. She may want to try a size larger or smaller or just give up altogether. They’re not for everyone. I have a long torso, so I don’t know if we have that in common.

I wasn’t a big fan of Bella Band because it felt too tight and always “rolled” up..but you know what I found that was much better? Maternity Suspenders! Check out Belly Ups. You can see them at this link

It didn’t work for me at all. My pants still fell down, I couldn’t wear my old jeans unbuttoned. I think the sizes on their website are off though because it always felt too tight, so I probably should have gotten a medium even though they said I was a small. I’ve let a friend borrow it (along with my entire pregger wardrobe), and she’s used it her entire pregnancy. She loves it and couldn’t go without it.

I too loved the Bella Band! I saw it in a magazine and purchased it when I was about 7 months along (with my now 2 year old). It allowed me to wear my regular jeans for a while – unzipped with the Bella Band holding them up. I also used it to keep up maternity pants that were a tad too big (until I grew into them). I also wore it a lot after I had the baby while adjusting back into regular cloths. I even occasionally still do wear it if I need to “smooth out” my waist line. I can’t recommend it enough!

Ahh my friend, I’m glad you like it so much. Only scenario #2 has worked for me. I have a pair (believe it or not) of maternity pants that are too loose and this wonder-band has kept them up.

But, sadly, my bump is soooooooooooooo low that all other uses seem hopeless. And furthermore, when I sit in a chair, it rolls up my back. What’s up with that?!

You’ll get another black one in a month or so if you want.
