Bellaband Maternity Support Belt - Isabel Maternity by Ingrid & Isabel™

I was looking into the Bella band on Amazon from Ingid and Isabel, which is $28 (more than double the price of this one). I could not figure out what was different about them since they look the same, but another reviewer mentioned that the manufacturer said the fabric content is different. I would have purchased the more expensive one since I plan on using it a while, but it would not have come in for another month and I needed this quickly. I was able to get it at my local target within the day. I got the recommended size for me (m/l) and it fits well. I think this is a great option if you want to wear some of your old jeans/pants and still look classy. It does a pretty good job at hiding your buttons and keeping your pants up. I will say it is extremely tall, which I'm assuming is so you can fold it over your pants a second time. The silicone strip has a good grip and so far has worked well. I do think it's easier to keep everything in place when you're standing. When sitting all day it kind of wiggles out of place occasionally. It also takes a bit everytime you have to go to the bathroom to get it situated again over your pants. That part is cumbersome. I also am not sure it will last very late in my pregnancy since it's tight right now while my belly is not that big. Overall I think it's worth the value, especially with it being so much cheaper than the brand's version on their website.

If you’re pregnant and don’t feel like buying maternity jeans like me, then you need this. I didn’t buy any maternity jeans I refused and luckily found this band! It works great up until the last 2 months.

This band was a life saver and helped me put off buying real maternity pants for a while. It’s comfortable and has the grippy material that helps it hold and stay on well. My only complaint was that it started to come undone in the wash.

Awesome to be able to wear the clothes you already have by adding this to your wardrobe

I purchased this postpartum for some light tummy support but mostly to keep my tummy covered while nursing with other people around. I was about 2 weeks postpartum after my third natural birth when I purchased this and used it intensively for those first few months postpartum. I didn’t have it during pregnancy but now I wish I had, I loved this thing! Even if I used this just for postpartum again, I would buy at least one other to be able to switch out. The price is right, and cheaper than anywhere else I saw selling the same product. I got The M/L, which I think is the right size for me, imagining what this might have been like during pregnancy and also after. After about 2 months postpartum it started to feel a bit loose, but at that point I didn’t need it as much anymore. Pre pregnancy I’m about 135lbs, 5’7”.

I got one of these to try out in my first trimester in late fall but found it was just too hot to be worth wearing most of the time. It became more tolerable as we got into winter, and then I decided to try a 2-pack of the version that I&I sells directly from their website as I was placing an order of a few items on sale there. My conclusion: the price difference is justified. The version available from Target is fine for the lower price, and I'm keeping it as a backup, but the 2 I got direct from I&I are much softer and more breathable and their silicone band is wider and grippier. The silicone band was the main difference cited by their chat support person when I asked about this before deciding to order them. For reference, the Target "Isabel" version is 89% nylon & 11% spandex while the I&I original is 84% nylon & 16% spandex, so it's just a 5% difference in the share of spandex but I find it makes a BIG difference in comfort and function. If you know you run hot or will be using these in a warm season, I would recommend springing for the version from the I&I website. If overheating isn't as much of a concern or you're not sure that you'll really use a band very much, this version makes a pretty good budget-friendly alternative.

First I’ll start off with the positives. I’m nearly 3 months pregnant and I found my high waisted jeans getting a little too tight for comfort, so I purchased this band. This does have a nice stretch to it, and for me it holds my pants up, rather if they are just unbuttoned or the zipper is down as well. Although I’m not a lover of form fitting tank tops this doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would. My biggest complaint, it’s very long. It would be better for a longer torso person, like the model shown but overall still supports and works as it should. The quality is there, especially for the price. I purchased a medium/large, wear 36D for reference, size 8/10 pants. Curvier on bottom then top.

Medium/large fits well. True to size. Feels a little tight later in pregnancy but works well. Good quality.

I bought these at the start of the 2nd trimester when I couldn't fit into my regular jeans anymore. I wanted to avoid buying maternity jeans if I could at all cost. They were definitely the best for the 2nd trimester where I didn't need too much support to keep my jeans on. I would say in tmy 3rd trimester, my jeans fall off my hips a bit more, and it doesn't necesarily hold them up as well as they did in the 2nd tri. Overall, they still do the job, and have prevented me from buying maternity jeans! It's also great for just belly support and to wear under shirts that are just a little too short with the belly. Acts sort of like a tank without having to wear one.

The belt is okay. It didn’t really add too much support but it did help hold my jeans up if I needed to leave them unbuttoned due to my belly.

I was really excited to purchase this, i have been wearing it for 3 weeks or so and I’m very disappointed on this. Does not stay in place, i work at target so i walk & bend alot. If I could give 0 stars I would. Super upset. The material is soft it just doesn’t stay in place. Waste of money.

Doesn't keep the back of my pants up what so ever. I am 9m and could no longer wear a belt.. i also HATE maternity pants so i am wearing jeans and got this band on recommendation and based on the reviews. Well.. i am still pulling my pants up because my butt ends up showing (my pants are even still buttoned). The silicone does absolutely nothing to stick to my jeans it just rolls up unless i pull the band way down past my butt.. even then my pants still slide down and i am fixing them and the band. I really wanted this to be the solution so i could stop wearing a belt..but looks like I'll have to go back to the belt.

I bought this at 12 weeks because my pants were a bit too tight when I buttoned them. Im now 25 weeks and still wearing the same pants, unbuttoned, but with the band! Has been a game changer for work clothes. It covers my whole bump but I can also fold it over.

I bought this with the intent to wear it so I can continue to wear my prepregnancy pants. It works great! I am not super big yet, but I am big enough to where my pants are uncomfortable when buttoned. If you are looking for a way to continue to wear your jeans without having to buy maternity pants, then I highly recommend it!

This band is great for a variety of uses. It allows you to extend the wear of non-maternity clothing, helps keep things covered, helps maternity pants fit when you’re not too far along, and serves as a good layering piece if you don’t want the bulk (or extra heat) of another full layer. It stays put and doesn’t shift! Very helpful item. Would make a cute tube too or mini skirt postpartum!

Excellent! Great support for 2nd trimester. Really really comfortable 😍

I really like this one, it's a bit shorter than other ones that I have bought and doesn't roll up.

Love this thing! It seems like it might be hit or miss for some people but I really like it. I needed a little extra support (18 weeks) but I didn’t want a bulky band. This give just enough support (similar to shapewear) and helps with clothes too. I plan on buying a few of these and sizing up as my pregnancy progresses.

Love how this can double as making any jean’s maternity ones (just use an elastic band through button hole and latch onto button and fold/wear this over top the Jean. Can also be worn under any clothes really especially if you heavily slug or moisturize with lotion and or oils and keeps the outer clothes from getting greasy or oily!
