Not comfortable

I don't like anything pressing on my belly, so I ordered a size larger than recommended, but it is still way too much pressure on the belly.

Tight

Overall, this is a nice product. However, it is highly elastic and I found it to feel too tight for my comfort - even before I started to grow a belly! It gives a very snug fit, despite the fact that I am at the low end within the recommended size range for the size that I bought.

For comparison, I also purchased a "Baby Be Mine Bamboo Maternity Belly Band Organic" and ultimately decided that I like the 'baby be mine' better than the 'Ingrid & Isabel' because it was softer and not as tight, while still very effective at holding up unbuttoned jeans. I bought both in the same size.

Despite my preference towards the other product, I am giving this a 4 star because it is nice quality and would be appropriate for women who want a snug fit and don't mind tightness around their belly. I would recommend going up a size if you are near the cusp.

Miracle band!

Loved these! I could wear my regular pants unbuttoned and they fit like a charm. Then I could wear maternity pants when regular ones got too tight and maternity wear too big (that awkward stage), the bella band kept them up and in place. Also kept my tummy from being too exposed or getting cold. I would recommend to anyone. I gave mine to a friend and she loved them too. I didn't get a chance to use post baby (because I gave them away), but I would imagine they would work great after you have the baby to be able to keep your pants comfortable as well.

BellaBand

I ordered the basic BellaBand in white, black, platinum, and chocolate. I feel like the white and black seem to have a stronger material (it feels like it holds better/tighter) than the platinum and chocolate colored ones. The chocolate colored one seems to be the "weakest", but I still wear it and it works. It is one of my favorite colors to wear because I wear browns a lot. I tend to wear the chocolate and black the most (mainly to match whatever shoes I am wearing). You can see through the white one a bit (like it is bluish where my jeans are and whiter where my jeans are not)...the others don't seem to show color through them (even the platinum one).

I ordered them back when I was about 20 weeks along and they are still working great for me at 34 weeks, and I have no reason to believe they won't continue to work for me for the next 6 weeks. They have allowed me to keep wearing my pre-pregnancy pants and also my pre-pregnancy shirts since they give extra length under my shirts. Obviously, you need to stay basically the same size everywhere except your belly for these to allow you to wear your pre-pregnancy things...so I can see how some people might not be able to use these as much as others.

I did wash them all together with cold water and on delicate (I don't think I put them in the dryer) and the white color did get a little "drabbed out" - but obviously that's what I get for washing white with black and brown :o)

Yes, there are times when I am moving positions a lot (sitting to standing, etc.) that my pants will bunch up funny or the band will come up above the back of my pants (thus the 4 versus 5 stars...but it is not necessarily a product flaw...just something that can't be avoided with such a big gut!). For me, these times of adjustment are well worth not having to deal with maternity pants. These allow me to be able to continue to wear pants that fit me nicely everywhere except the belly, and I definitely think it is worth it.

Love it!

I am 4.5 months pregnant and the bella band allows me to keep wearing my regular clothes. Love the fact that I don't have to buy a lot of expensive maternity clothes. Especially since I work in an office that requires business attire.
