| Features:
| • | The same high-quality knit blend with an added touch of stretchy lace around the bottom seam in the same color as the Bella Band, adding a touch of femininity should it peak out from under a top. | | • | The Bella Band is a seamless knit band you wear at your waistline, over your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy pants, over slightly big maternity pants, or around the waistband of any maternity style that falls down around your hips. | | • | The Bella Band holds your pants up, disguising bulky unfastened closures or excessive fabric creating a smooth belly surface. Now, no one has to know your pants are undone or loose. | | • | Wear the Bella Band concealed, or let it peek out from under your top for that hip, layered look. |

Product Description
How to WearNewly pregnant:Ideal with pre-pregnancy jeans, pants, skirts and shorts that are unbuttoned and even unzipped a bit. Wear any pre-pregnancy favorite as long as your bum and hips allow. At this stage, we like the Bella Band folded over adding an extra layer to disguise bulky unfastened buttons and zippers. It also adds strength to hold up your pants. Great with transition wear that may fall down around your hips if you're still small but enjoy the comfort of an expanded waistline.Definitely pregnant:Great with so many maternity styles. The Bella Band conceals excess fabric, smooths out panels and elastic waistbands, and holds up any style that might feel a bit loose. Great with any transition wear that may be tightunbutton them to get a little more use! At this stage, the Bella Band works folded over or in a single layer... whatever feels good. It's also comfortable with drawstring pants that fall below the bellythe Bella Band holds them up!So very pregnant:Sometimes that belly pushs under-the-belly styles down around your hips. Use the Bella Band as an extra reinforcement over your maternity waistband. Try a single layer covering the belly and waistband if you want some support. Otherwise, double-layer over your under-the-belly waistband.Recovering Belly Babes:OK, so you can't leave the hospital in pre-pregnacy clothes (and if you can, we don't want to hear about it). Bring your Bella Band to the hospital. Wear with maternity that is too big and pre-pregnancy that can't fasten around your waist. You'll have more clothes to choose from, and feel better with it on. Nursing mom? There are fabulous new styles that allow you to nurse inconspicuously. For the days you don't have one of them on and need to lift from below, the Bella Band hides your recovering belly so you can feel better about how you look.

 PERFECT!!!! A must buy! November 3, 2008

I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this product. I usually don't write reviews, but I had to rate the product that saved me so much money.
I'm five feet tall and a pre-pregnany size 0/2. Somewhere in my fifth month, my pants were becoming uncomfortably tight. I asked around and was told to buy the bella band. I was really skeptical, having only seen the giant panel pants at the stores. I don't like anything too tight, so after trying on these pants, I opted for the black and white lace bands instead. The bella band can cover your entire belly or be folded over, depending on what you like. The lace looks like a camisole. The band is worn over your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy pants. It was a lifesaver. I am currently at the end of my eighth month, have gained about 26lbs, and have only bought one pair of maternity jeans.
I have saved so much money by buying these. I know that they are pricey, but the money that I have saved with them is amazing. They wash very well and are made of a nice, stretchy spandex material. You can not see through them. Of course, with the way our bodies develop during pregnancy, they do ride up once in a while. You have to pull them down under the widest part of your hips. I didn't have much of a problem with this.
Every pregnant woman should at least try this product with an open mind.
 Good product! October 21, 2008
Used these for my first pregnancy and had gotten them from a friend. I never had to buy maternity pants! So glad to have my own.
Prego-Fabulous!! July 29, 2008
I purchased this early on in my pregnancy, not knowing how large I would get. Prior to pregnancy, I weighed 125 lbs and wore size 6. (I am about five feet five or five feet six) I purchased the smallest size, and it worked great. This little band is a LIFE SAVER! I was able to keep wearing my prepregnancy pants all the way up to 25 weeks. I just unbuttoned (and partially unzipped later on) them and wore the band over the waistband. It really saved me a lot of money on maternity clothes!
PS The band helps support your belly and takes some strain off your back, too.
Great product May 27, 2008
I saw these during my first pregnancy and decided I would buy one during my second. I love the versatility the bella band has allowed me with my clothes as it eliminates the need to buy maternity clothes that I dislike solely for the purpose of being clothed. I bought one with lace and most people just assume I have a tank top on. The bella band has allowed me to wear my non-maternity clothes longer, made my maternity clothes fit better and allowed me to feel more confident in my ever-changing appearance. I can honestly see myself using this product postpartum and perhaps even as an accessory when I am not pregnant anymore. At 22 weeks, I am loving this product as much as I did at 12, and I will soon be buying another, as I find it a very important pregnancy accessory.
 not for me May 14, 2008

the shipping was fast, but the bella band didn't really do on me. whenever I wear it, it kept rolling up.
