Can we talk Belly Bands?

I bought the target "BeBand" which my friend reccommended to me.

I'm 11wks and my pants are too tight and have to wear the Beband, but i notice i have to wear a tank OVER it and under my shirt because the buttons of my pants show and its annoying me esp when i have to go to work.

Am i putting it on right? Have any of you experienced this with the belly bands you bought?

I hope i am wording this correctly. Basically, my pants buttons look all crumpled under the band even if i try to smooth it out.

yup, I used the BeBand from target as well and I totally understand what you mean.

I think its because the material is kinda thin so it doesnt smooth out your jeans/butons well enough. I wore a tank top to make make it less obvious.

Its just i get so uncomfortable wearing my pants, then the band, then a fitted tank, then a shirt over it. I am going to be sweltering in the summer!Chat Icon

Yeah when i wear empire waist or a bigger shirt, it's not obvious at all...but when i go for a tighter shirt-I think I look like a frump lol

I skipped over the band and just invested in maternity jeans and pants to avoid that issue. I figured having to layer up would make me too hot...and I was dealing with this in the winter. I couldn't imagine the summer time!!Chat Icon

I think i might just do that. Every time I have to go to the bathroom I have to readjust the band. It just sux at work. I wish we had dress down! I'd be in stretchies and sweats all the time!
