Ingrid and Isabel Maternity Bella Band Review Summary

The Ingrid and Isabel Maternity Bella Band is being described as the answer from our pregnant moms for that awkward no-clothes-fit-right stage of pregnancy, better known as the beginning of the second trimester. As a belly cover, the Ingrid and Isabel Maternity Bella Band “allows you to wear your pre-pregnancy clothes a lot longer” covering your unbuttoned jeans and holding them up. The Bella Band also acts as a maternity belly band to provide support during and post-pregnancy. Several moms did find the Ingrid and Isabel Bella Band to be too thin or too stretchy to really give good support during these periods though. The Ingrid and Isabel Bella Band also adds a second layer under tee-shirts as well as “hiding that popping belly button.” One drawback some found was that the top can slip or roll down causing you to have to occasionally readjust. Reviewer sholaholic76 states "not sure if it's a great product, but it seems to be the only thing out there right now for these uncomfortable pre-maternity clothes period." Then one grateful Bella Band user states “[The Bella Band] took care of major wardrobe challenges during my pregnancy!” Read about other maternity items reviewers found helpful during this exciting time.

I LOVE this product!!! Because of this product (Bella Band) I saved so much money by not having to buy maternity pants. I just used the band with all my regular pants. I felt SO comfortable! It looks great with all my tops and all my pants. It's a little expensive, but it really is worth it. It comes...

I went in search of this product after seeing advertisements in magazines and thought it would be a great way to extend the life of my wardrobe and not have to purchase a lot of expense maternity clothes.  When I finally found the Bella Band at a maternity store I was told that the packages could not...

I am on my second baby in less than a year.  I bought mine when i was about 7 months along, in my previous pregnancy.  I was having a HUGE problem keeping my pants up.  Every time I would move they would roll down & I would have saggy pants & butt would be sticking out.  I did find if I wore my band, it was soooo much better.  & after I had my baby I could wear all my "non pregnant pants" by wearing my band..  I am now in my 1st trimester, again, & its great now because, I can wear my prego pants or my non prego pants, & keep them up with my bella band..  This to me is the BEST product since...

These bands are just fantastic.  I found the Bella Bands at a specialty maternity store for $28 a piece and I bought one in black and one in white.  I didn't think they were cheap, but I had heard through the grapevine that you could use them for a large chunk of your pregancy and not have to buy lots of maternity clothes.  You put on your underwear, put on the band so that it covers the waistline of your pants.  Then pull up your pants, leave them unzipped (or partially zipped if it still goes up) and fold the top have of the band over your pants.  They hold up your pants without anyone even...

I love the Bella band.   I had one in black and one in white and used them both during two pregnancies.

My favorite part was getting a couple of extra months in my favorite non-maternity pants and jeans so that I wasn't so sick of my maternity stuff by the end. 

I was skeptical that a little cloth band would actually hold my pants up, but it really worked.  It also helped with briding the gap between the end of my shirt and the top of my pants so that no skin was showing - so it made the non-maternity shirts work for a few extra weeks too!  The lok was as though I was layering two T-shirts....

This is the best maternity product I have ever seen! The Bella Band allows you to wear your pre-pregnancy clothes longer and saves you from spending a lot of money on maternity clothes! You simply wear this nylon/spandex band around your waist over your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy jeans and pants. It covers up the fact that your pants are undone, and it completely secures them in place. No one will ever know that your pants have gotten too tight to fasten! It is comfortable and has allowed me to wear my regular clothes longer than I did in my first pregnancy, and it has saved me money as well. At... read full review »

I was very excited to try out bella bands.  I'm 3 months pregnant and was running out of comfortable jeans to wear.  Thousands of $ i spent on designer jeans and now i'm reduced to 1 pair of semi comfy pair.  I tried bella band and it seems to work okay.  Definitely let me breathe a little, but the top of the band tends to slip down and is looser so if you're wearing a semi tight tshirt you can see the outline it makes when you're sitting.  You're constantly readjusting the band.  Not sure if it's a great product, but it seems to be the only thing out there right now for these uncomfortable... read full review »

I was looking for a belly band that take the pressure off my stomach.  THe Ingrid and Isabel Bella Band was too stretchy and seemed to be better for covering the gap between my clothes and and my stomach. I wish the Bella Band came in more colors.  I wish it also was ajustable so when I use it postpartum I will be able to tighten it after the c-section.  Early the preganency I used it to hold up pants that were a little to big, and those that were too snug.  I could hide that my pants were undone and unzipped.

I started to grow out of my pre-pregnancy clothes very early on - by 8 weeks I could no longer button my trousers/jeans, however I wasn't ready for proper maternity wear. The Bella Band was a life saver. It allowed me to keep wearing my normal pants well into my second trimester, and even a few items into my third. It is really comfortable to wear, washes well and is much cheaper than buying a ton of new clothes. I also think it will work well postpartum while I'm getting back into shape, but I'll have to wait and see!

I love this product!  It helped keep my pants up with a small tummy and then again with a large tummy.  I felt more secure in my maternity pants.  I think this is a must have for any pregnant mom! 

I didn't get it for support I had a maternity belt when I was farther in my pregnancy for support so support wasn't an issue for me.

Also if you wore it a few times without washing it, it would stretch out, but when you washed and dryed it the shape would come back!

I got this to hold up my pants which I insisted on wearing until I just could not.  It  however proved more useful to hide my popped belly button.  I hated the look of my bb out ther and since I wore mostly close fitting tops this was just great.  I also wore it under tops I wore pre pregnancy but which were too short over my belly.  This worked as a second layer below my tees etc.  Still have it and hope to use it again soon.

I bought two different colors and loved them through my pregnancy. I was able to hold off on buying new maternity pants, using this. It also helped after having the baby. They are pretty stylish. It sometimes shows when you are wearing a shirt that isn't real long, so make sure you colors match or complement each other so that they look like you are wearing a shirt underneath instead of a band to keep your pants up.

Bought this to use with third pregnancy.  Wished  had splurged on it with the first.

Didn't get it until I almost couldn't use it anymore.  Was very nice when I was small enough to wear my regular pants.  Kept them up even unzipped, but better for skinnier women.  I am a low plus size and it would roll down getting in and out of the car.
