Ingrid & Isabel Women's Maternity Everyday Bellaband

Really helped me at work during 2nd trimester to give me extra support when walking and standing so much.

Before pregnancy, I was a size 2X on top and 20-22 on bottom [...]. I bought a size 3 BellaBand, and at 31 weeks through my first pregnancy, it's just getting to be a little tight, but I still use it.I've used this band for 3 purposes so far:1. Hold up pre-pregnancy pants (works well! I never felt like they would fall down).2. Worn over my full-band maternity jeans, under a white t-shirt. The jeans have a dark blue band, but the nude BellaBand hid it perfectly under a snug white shirt.3. Extra support. When the maternity jeans feel a little loose, or I just want to feel like I have extra belly support, I've put this on over my maternity pants.I don't think #3 is a good reason to buy this band, but since I had it, I used it. I also have an actual support band, but this BellaBand is somewhere in-between that and nothing, in terms of support.I washed the BellaBand in a mesh delicates bag, and dried it with my other laundry. There was no noticeable shrinkage or damage done to the tacky strip along the bottom of the band. Good quality.My minor pet peeve with this thing is that you have to pull it on like a snake skin, over your head or legs. And when you go to the bathroom, you have to pull it up and it's a little tight when it's all bunched up below your chest. That's not really an issue with the product, but more a complaint about pregnancy and the need for things like this.

So this is my second pregnancy and I'm halfway now, but totally still have that flappy skin on my tummy from my son (who was a big baby and I had polyhydraminos which didn't help). So I was surprised this pregnancy when I formed this really awkward looking bump. Maternity pants with the high waistbands where my only help in looking like I'm actually pregnant and not just deformed lol. But I only have so many pairs of maternity pants and there are so many pairs of pants that I miss wearing. So anyway, the Bella band is perfect for me not just holding up pants that don't button anymore but also holding the bottom part of my bump up to make my bump look less awkward. It sounds dumb but I swear it's been such a great thing to have. I recommend it to every pregnant woman even though I've never heard of anyone else using it for the reason that I do lol

I am a first time mother, and I did not know what products to purchase that would help me adjust to changes. After some research, I found this belly band. It not only smooths out your stomach and back without being constricting, it really does keep your pants up! I rarely have to adjust it, and it truly stays in place! I will be recommending this to my mommy-to-be friends!

I think if you are overweight and pregnant, try this. Your body type will probably determine how comfortable it is. I had a B-Belly and it worked fine. I would extrapolate from my fit that this would fit sizes 20-28 well.
