PLUS SIZE POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION
 
Review Date: August 14, 2008
Reviewer: Irishlawlass,
I am a plus-sized mom-to-be so I was concerned about how this would work for me. I have been really pleased with this purchase. I am able to continue wearing my jean capris the rest of this summer, comfortably, which is such a relief. I even fit into clothes a size or two down now (a major plus for women whose size fluctuates producing wardrobes of varying sizes). I didn't see any plus-sized women review this item so I wanted to be sure I did for those who come after me. Over a couple hours or lots of movement you may have to readjust -- sometimes your pants (not the band) start creeping down a bit. But I have never had the band "fail" me or show my unbuttoned pants (yikes!). It's easy to wear, easy to adjust and most important: it's comfortable!! Plus-size moms take heart -- this item WILL work for you too!
Get the black one, not white

I bought 2 bella bands as soon as I started having to wear my pants unbuttoned (end of first trimester) - one black and one white. I absolutely LOVE the black one. I wore it almost everyday until my son was 6 months old. It was the only thing that I could find to cover my belly in the final month of pregnancy.

Under a black shirt you couldn't even tell the bella band was there, even when it was sticking out several inches. Under other shirts it just looked like I layered a t-shirt. However, the white band was awful. While the black camouflaged everything, the white highlighted everything. You could absolutely tell my pants were unbuttoned.

I agree with other reviewers that it can ride up, but when I was pregnant everything rode up or fell down. C'est la vie. It also provides a nice low level of support, similar to control top pantyhose.
Love these

This are a wonderful little invention. Not only did these extend my pregnancy wardrobe considerably when it came to pants, but when worn with skirts, they gave me a little helpful definition during that dreadful, "do people just think I'm chubby?" phase. I also liked that they smoothed my hips down over my under-the-belly maternity pants. They are quite comfortable, and I have found I like the added support they give to my growing girth.

I also recommend the vender. The Doula Shop had more available colors than the manufacturer did, and for a better price. They also shipped within 4 hours of my initial order.

All in all, a very helpful little product. I plan on giving them as gifts to my newly pregnant friends.
Greatest invention ever!

I LOVE this product and when I ordered one I wasn't sure I was going to like it. But it is awesome! WIthin 24 hours I was back online ordering 2 more for a total of 3. It really does support your belly and smooth out clothes that don't quite fit right. I bought a medium and I was 145lbs and 5'4" BEFORE I was pregnant - It fits perfect - snug but not overly tight. GREAT product, though I think I will hand wash it since I suspect the washer and dryer will kill it.


ORDER MORE THAN ONE!
A little comfort in a self-conscious time

I am still in my first trimester and not really showing yet, but I am definitely struggling with my clothes a little. I read about this product and I'm really glad I decided to try it.

The Bella Band is comfortable to wear and discreet under your top. The material is soft and not too thick, so it doesn't add bulkiness to your middle. I am in the stage where you have to use a rubber band to close your buttons and not zip up all the way ... which was making me feel very self-conscious, especially at work. Wearing the Bella Band makes me a lot more comfortable and less nervous about anyone being able to tell my pants are open. I don't feel pinched or squeezed while wearing it, though it really does help keep my pants up. And I also think it gives me a little bit of light support in my belly and back.

Also, I was wearing Women's sizes even before I got pregnant and was dismayed at how few clothing options there are out there for plus-size pregnant women. I was really pleased to see that the Bella Band comes in a wide array of sizes - and what's more, it fits and is comfortable (something you can't always count on if you are "plus-sized"). I really think the Bella Band is going to help me stay in my own "regular" clothes longer, and that makes me happy - I was not looking forward to maternity clothes, and was scared that because of my size I would have to start wearing them sooner.

I am not yet having to wear the band every day but I expect a time will come when I do - so I'll be ordering more in different colors. Thanks for this product!
