The BellaBand works throughout your entire pregnancy when pants, skirts or shorts arent fitting quite right. Early in pregnancy, slip this ultra-soft, seamless knit band around the waistline, over unbuttoned jeans, skirts and shorts to hold them up and hide the unfastened closures. Its also ideal mid-pregnancy over too-loose maternity or snug-fitting transition wear, in late pregnancy as an extra-hold accessory for under-the-belly styles that fall down around the hips when the belly pushes them down, and after pregnancy when maternity becomes big and pre-pregnancy is bit snug. Early Pregnancy: Wear the BellaBand with your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy bottoms or with too loose maternity to give you more options. Mid-Pregnancy: Great with so many maternity styles. The BellaBand conceals excess fabric, smoothes out panels and elastic waistbands, and holds up any style that might feel a bit loose. Late Pregnancy: Sometimes that belly pushes under-the-belly styles down around your hips. Use the BellaBand as an extra reinforcement over your maternity waistband. Postpartum: Wear the BellaBand with maternity that is too big and pre-pregnancy that can"t fasten around your waist. 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 BellaBand hides your recovering belly so you can feel comfortable.
