 Good but make sure that you have the correct size! January 6, 2009
AmazonFan (Minneapolis, MN)
I think this is helpful for women who are in their first trimester or in their early second trimester. Sometimes, with a big baby/tummy it seems as if you may need a new one because the belly band doesn't stretch as far or can get somewhat uncomfortable. I do believe one should be enough to carry you through your pregnancy.
Not great for the petite January 2, 2009

This product is just okay. I found the smallest size to be too big for me, even now at 7 months. I was not real tiny to begin with but I am short and I think that is what makes the band so large over my stomach. I think the product was made for more average height women. Fortunately, it wasn't expensive.
Not comfortable December 29, 2008

I don't like anything pressing on my belly, so I ordered a size larger than recommended, but it is still way too much pressure on the belly.
Miracle band! December 27, 2008
M. Davis (Washington)
Loved these! I could wear my regular pants unbuttoned and they fit like a charm. Then I could wear maternity pants when regular ones got too tight and maternity wear too big (that awkward stage), the bella band kept them up and in place. Also kept my tummy from being too exposed or getting cold. I would recommend to anyone. I gave mine to a friend and she loved them too. I didn't get a chance to use post baby (because I gave them away), but I would imagine they would work great after you have the baby to be able to keep your pants comfortable as well.

I ordered the basic BellaBand in white, black, platinum, and chocolate. I feel like the white and black seem to have a stronger material (it feels like it holds better/tighter) than the platinum and chocolate colored ones. The chocolate colored one seems to be the "weakest", but I still wear it and it works. It is one of my favorite colors to wear because I wear browns a lot. I tend to wear the chocolate and black the most (mainly to match whatever shoes I am wearing). You can see through the white one a bit (like it is bluish where my jeans are and whiter where my jeans are not)...the others don't seem to show color through them (even the platinum one).
I ordered them back when I was about 20 weeks along and they are still working great for me at 34 weeks, and I have no reason to believe they won't continue to work for me for the next 6 weeks. They have allowed me to keep wearing my pre-pregnancy pants and also my pre-pregnancy shirts since they give extra length under my shirts. Obviously, you need to stay basically the same size everywhere except your belly for these to allow you to wear your pre-pregnancy things...so I can see how some people might not be able to use these as much as others.
I did wash them all together with cold water and on delicate (I don't think I put them in the dryer) and the white color did get a little "drabbed out" - but obviously that's what I get for washing white with black and brown :o)
Yes, there are times when I am moving positions a lot (sitting to standing, etc.) that my pants will bunch up funny or the band will come up above the back of my pants (thus the 4 versus 5 stars...but it is not necessarily a product flaw...just something that can't be avoided with such a big gut!). For me, these times of adjustment are well worth not having to deal with maternity pants. These allow me to be able to continue to wear pants that fit me nicely everywhere except the belly, and I definitely think it is worth it.
