Belly bands?

[Bernadine]

I got one from Target yesterday, and it's definitely helping, but it's riding up in the back. Probably because of my butt/hips.   Any luck with bands that didn't do this?

do you have it full, or folded over? i wear mine folded in half, and right at the top of my pants. it makes it slightly snugger, so i don't worry about the traveling so much, lol

I bought one from target as well - I like it and don't feel like it rides up. I wear it like callmehales does - folder over and at the top of my jeans with a little below for some support. Maybe try it that way?

Should I wear one? I'm 17+5 and only recently started wearing some maternity shirts. Will I know when my belly needs extra support or what?

oh, mine's not the support belt kind.  it's the "i'm only 13w, but haven't been able to keep my pants buttoned all day since about 10w" kind.  basically, for me it's easier than the rubber band trick.

Oh ok. I haven't had the pants won't button problem yet. Yet being the important word in that sentence.

I had to do the rubber band thing underneath the Target belly band to keep things from shifting around too much. The belly band helped smooth everything out. I always wore it doubled up.

The Target one never worked very well for me. I had a Bella Band (slightly more $$ from amazon) that had a no-slip sticky thing on the inside that stayed put much better.
