 - Great Invention!I absolutely LOVE my bella bands! I wore them with a pair of stretchy dress pants, and was amazed at the way it made me feel "fashionable" during my 5 month period of still being able to fit into some of my regular tops and bottoms, but are starting to fall a bit short of each other. :) SO- I highly recommend these bands to everyone wanting to extend their wardrobe a bit farther!! They're my new favorite accessory!! Rating:  - Even if you hate it, keep itI bought the bella band when I started showing. It helped to extend my wardrobe for a short time while I shopped for maternity clothes (by the way, Target and Old Navy online are great!). It was tight under my belly and I was always pulling it up or down. Also, it was annoying to have to rearrange it every time I went to the bathroom. After a couple of weeks it ended up in my drawer. However, now that I'm 8 months, and my belly is poking out through all my maternity clothes, and my pants are starting to fall or roll down, it's a godsend. This time I wear it flat with no folding, and it's great to be confident that there's no "peeking" and to not be pulling up my pants constantly as I walk down the street! Rating: - Wonderful product!I wear my Bella Band nearly every day...with jeans, dress pants, you name it. Most of my pants won't button or even fully zip anymore, and the Bella Band is saving the day. I know I'd already have to buy some maternity pants (at 11 weeks!) if it weren't for this product. I love it! In addition, the shipping was reasonable and quick. This is a good vendor to purchase the Bella Band from. Rating:  - great at the beginning and the endI would definitely recommend this product for moms-to-be. I used it a lot at the beginning of my pregnancy so that I could wear my pre-preg jeans with the button undone and the bella band holding everything together. And at the end of the pregnancy, when even maternity tops seemed to "pop up" at the bottom, I used the bella band to close the gap between the top of my pants and the bottom of my shirt. This product saved me from having to buy more maternity clothes in the last few weeks of the pregnancy. Rating:  - Not for the very early pregnantI'm late in the first trimester and this product is not working for me at all. I can't button my pants so they keep falling down off my hips. But the bella band falls down too! Maybe it will be better suited for later weeks in the pregnancy. What you also need in this stage is longer, tunic-like tops, which cover up both the bella band and your undone pants. For this stage, better buys are the size 12/13/14 pants I bought at an upscale thrift shop. The pants fit around my waist and there's no worry of someone seeing my undone pants. Hiding a pregnancy is really challenging and the bella band is just another layer to worry about.
