what are your opinions of them. I was thinking of getting one because my shorts are all 8's and I cannot button them comfortably. Did you get the size it said for your pants size or small/larger? opionins please!!! TIA

I have one but it is too snug for me...I got mine from Motherhood Maternity and it was a one size fits all type thing...I was using it to wear my jean skirts but it was just not comfortable so I have stopped wearing jean skirts and am wearing nice flowing things that do not constrict my tummy at all...

You want the band snug so it will hold your clothes up and also hide that the buttons are undone...not sure if they have a size to them...

I wear one every day.  I have the Motherhood Maternity one and the Target Bella Band one.  With my last pregnancy I had the original Bella Band.  I have to say...I prefer the Bella Band over the MM one.  The BB comes in different sizes.  I have NO HIPS at all and cannot keep any pants up.  The BB is sized for me so it holds the pants up better.  The MM one is OSFA and I'm sorry, but a size 4 and a size 14 can't use the same thing to hold their pants up!  

I was really bummed to not be able to find my old BB from my prev pregnancy...so I bought the cheaper one at Target.  It works just fine but being that I'm pregnant with twins, it brings the sizing thing to a whole new game!  LOL!

I say GET ONE!  I wore a size 4 pant when I got pregnant last time...I bought a small Bella Band and it was perfect.  Get the size that goes with your pant size.

HTH!

I really enjoy mine.  I use it both to wear pre-pregnancy pants unzipped and to wear maternity pants that do not want to stay up!  I say get just one and try it out.  Also, I paid a little extra and got the one with the lace on the bottom.  I pull it down a bit so that it looks like a long cami underneath. Very cute.

Love, Riah

I love mine from Target. I got the size it said that I would need based on my pant size.  I wear it ever day with my scrubs at work.  Good luck!!
hugs,
Kim
