Cheap place to order/buy a bella band?
I just went to the restroom and you can see the indent of my pants into my skin all the way around my waist... I am blaming it on the bloat but it's getting uncomfortable so I need to get a bella band. Where is the best place to get one without breaking the bank?

Re: Cheap place to order/buy a bella band?
I broke down at 9 weeks and bought 2 off of Amazon. I wore it a few times, but honestly, I didn't like it. I still have a couple of pair of pants that I can button although they are snug. I think I'm going to break down this weekend and go buy some maternity pants so I have something comfortable to wear to work. I'll be 13 weeks on Monday.

Re: Cheap place to order/buy a bella band?
I got mine from Ebay. I got it at 8 weeks and wore it up to almost 15 weeks. I finally broke down and got maternity pants at 15 weeks and fell in love with them. The only thing that prevented me from walking out of the store wearing them was I had to have them hemmed.
The bella band is great for that in between stage where your regular clothes are getting snug but maternity stuff seems a bit big. If you can get into maternity pants that have the secret fit band (Motherhood maternity has this) I would look into those as well.

I personally didn't like the bella band. Instead, I folded down the buttons/tabs of my flys and wore regular pants until last week (14.5). Then I moved into maternity pants.

Do you have any friends that used them? I have a friend that is going to give me hers. A lot of people don't like them, so maybe you could try this route first

I loved my band - I got the Mimi maternity equivalent which is called Tummy Sleeve. I got it for about $25 and used it almost till the end! Loved it and it saved me sooo much money.

I bought one the other day from Motherhood in the Source Mall for $16 - I soooo wish I had bought it earlier! (Their version is called Tummy Sleeve. It is nice and lightweight, too.) I really recommend this.
I am in my final days of pregnancy, and all my low-rise pants are really low, and my tops show off a little tummy. It helps! It also offers just a little bit of support, which is nice when you're toting around what feels like a Costco-sized bag of potatoes. (It would have helped earlier, too.)
