An Absolute Must-have for Pregnant Women
I will confess, I was absolutely skeptical about trying the Bella Band. I am a first time mom-to-be and have recently discovered that most pregnancy jeans/pants are really uncomfortable. Often times, the elastic band puts too much pressure on my belly...or, the elastic distorts my body shape, making me feel frumpy.
I bought the Bella Band, and much to my surprise, it is the best invention since sliced bread. I put the band on first, from mid-hip to just under my breasts. Then, I put my jeans/pants on. No need to zip or button, just pull the top half of the band over your pants and you are good to go for the rest of the day. Your pants stay in place and the band smoothes out lines from the button/zipper that can be seen through your shirt. What is nice is that the band supports your stomach, making you feel slimmer and more shapely, without cutting through your mid section like most pregnancy pants.
I cannot recommend this product enough. In fact, I just bought a second one in black. Even if you are wearing a shorter shirt, the band just looks like a tee-shirt underneath. Lastly, it is seamless, so it does not leave any undesirable imprints in your skin.
Initially, I thought $26 was a bit steep for this product, until I used it. It is worth every red cent.

Worth the money
I think this is worth it. I'm beginning my 5th month and have used this with some jeans and a couple pairs of work pants. I would say that it works the best with the work pants because it doesn't slide as much. I also discovered you have to get it pulled down nice and low over your hips for it to grab. It slips more with my jeans, but I don't really have to adjust it any more than I would a form-fitting top. I think it would probably hold better if it had elastic in the bottom hem. It doesn't exactly camoflauge the bumps made by your unbuttoned pants, but it does cover half-zipped zippers. For security, I always use a hair-band or rubber band to attach my button to the button hole and then wear the band overtop. I'm not sure that it's strong enough to actually hold up too-loose maternity pants, but I haven't had to try that yet. Overall, I'm glad I purchased one, but I'm not so wowed by it that I feel the need to get a bunch of other colors.

Great product!
My friend got this and said she loved it, so of course I had to try it. It's a great product when pants don't fit - and you don't have to worry about people noticing because it fits so well to your body. The only problem I've had with it is that my hips are a little larger and I ordered a Size 1 because my pre-pregnancy size was a 6. I feel I probably should have gone with a Size 2 because when i sit down and stand up I have to adjust the back because it seems to roll up easily. Other than that, NO COMPLAINTS! It keeps everything tucked in the front, even though I can't button my pants and the zipper is only coming up halfway. It's very comfortable, too!

Good Idea But Other Companies Do It Better
I am 13 weeks pregnant and ordered this after the good reviews. I have to say that I like the bands I have from Motherhood Maternity better. The Bella Band has a label on the outside on the bottom, so others can tell it isn't just a t-shirt. Also, the interior tag is on the bottom and you could see it through the band. I think it is really dumb that they don't put it at the top where people couldn't see it. The bands from Motherhood don't have an exterior label and instead of an interior label on the bottom they have a tagless label on the top. All the bands rode up a little for me (I'm 5'4" and 132 pounds) but I do like them and I am able to unbutton my pants and the band keeps them up.
