Applause

I saw an advertisement for the Bellaband in a pregnancy magazine yesterday, went on-line today to find out more information about it, bought it this afternoon, and wore it out of the store. I am surprised at how comfortable it is. And, I am very excited that I can continue to wear my pre-pregnancy pants without all the lumps and bumps, not to mention the discomfort, you get from turning the button corners down inside the pants.

This is definitely a keeper! I only wish I had known about it during my last two pregnancies.

Thanks for a great product!

I love my BellaBands! I have one in black with lace and one in white with lace. They have been a lifesaver! I did not want to fork out hundreds of dollars for maternity pants that were frankly, not very cute! I am 36 weeks now and I have not had to buy any maternity pants. Thank you BellaBand! Our mothers and our mothers' mothers wish they could have had these in their day!

I have enclosed a picture of me 6 days before I had my baby. He was 10 lbs 6 oz and 22 inches long. I am wearing a regular pair of size 12 and your BellaBand size 2. Your BellaBand made it possible for me to wear a regular pair of jeans all throughout my pregnancy. Being 5'10" and a size 8 un-pregnant, it was hard to find long maternity pants that were inexpensive. I am also long-waisted and so a lot of my maternity tops were shorter and your BellaBand filled the gap. I am glad I invested in your BellaBand as it helped to hold up my stomach during my pregnancy and afterwards also. This was my third C-Section and all 3 babies were big and strong. I wish I had found your product sooner. We are done having babies, but I will definitely pass on my BellaBands to my friends and suggest that pregnant women invest in your product. It made me feel good everyday. Please feel free to use any of my testimony; I really believe in your product. Thank you.

As a daily BellaBand wearer, I am writing you to THANK YOU for such a wonderful addition to my maternity wardrobe. You have actually saved me. I am carrying my child so low that none of my pants or shorts or even underwear can stay up. I have worn the BellaBand everyday for the past two months. If I did not have this I would be walking around with my pants and shorts underneath my bum.

Thank you again and just so you know, I have recommended it to EVERY pregnant person that I see and know.

I'm almost 7 months pregnant and I credit the BellaBand with helping me look and feel (almost) like myself from day one. I wore the BellaBand every day for the first 5 months of my pregnancy because I wasn't ready to give up any of my cute pre-pregnancy jeans. And now I often wear it to hold up my maternity jeans (I don't think anyone wants to see a pregnant woman's bare butt!)

I love the BellaBand. Pregnancy is difficult enough without wardrobe-related meltdowns.

I just received the greatest gift ever—Bella Bands! I am just over three months pregnant and literally spent my weekend moping around the closet because suddenly none of my pants fit. Anyway, you know the drill.

I love the colors. I had the black one on within two minutes of opening the box.

You know - I must tell you...

In the past couple of weeks I have had so many mommies in my store who have previously purchased their first BellaBand and since had their babies. We have "invented" another fantastic use for the Bella Band. It makes an excellent cover for your belly when you are nursing in non-nursing tops. I have even used that as a marketing suggestion to moms who have never seen the product, but are obviously not pregnant anymore!

Thanks for such a fantastic product!!

I ordered a Bella Band from Marriage Carriage and More, and this little item proved to be priceless for the last months of my pregnancy. It allowed me not only to wear my regular pants and skirts, but it also covered my belly so that I could wear tops that weren't long enough to reach the waist of my pants. And on top of all this, I looked good! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the Bella Band.

Just wanted to give two big thumbs up for the Bella Band! I just got mine on Saturday. I am just over 17 weeks and my stomach is popping out. Too big for my regular pants, too small for maternity. I have been wearing the band almost everyday since it came, and I couldn't be more pleased!

I have definitely spread the word to everyone I know and made it a point to show women in my office—they think it is genius! Great thinking!

I am 34 weeks pregnant with twins and I have worn my bella bands just about every day since I bought them around 16 weeks. They are so awesome. I just outgrew my original two and will be purchasing a new one shortly.

I have found a great new use for the smaller ones -they are a great home bra—when it's too uncomfy not to wear one, but you don't want the restriction of an actual bra—I have found wearing my bella bands around the house as a tube top is the most comfortable thing!

Oh BellaBand, Oh BellaBand

My love for you is true
I very much appreciate
Everything you do

You hold up my pants
And make my tummy smooth
You keep me looking good
And make it easier to move

I'd be lost without you
And sport a muffin top
Or the button on my pants
Would surely break or pop

I'm all dressed up for work
Yet feel like I'm in sweats
BellaBand I love you so
You truly are the best
