Just wanted to write and say thank you for helping to make me feel a bit more "normal" throughout my pregnancy! I am 41 weeks and 2 days pregnant and with the help of my BellaBands I am still wearing all of my regular pants, skirts and shorts!! When I found out I was pregnant I was over the moon excited but at the same time dreading the eventual day when I would have to switch from my size 8 clothes to maternity bottoms... I am so happy to report that day never arrived, I also have no stretch marks and credit that in part to the snugness and support that the Band has given me everyday for the past 41+ weeks. I'm looking forward to continuing to use them as post maternity bands and eventually "retiring" them with respect and not ridding of them with distaste as many of my pregnant friends are looking forward to doing with their maternity pants as soon as they can.
I've raved about them to everyone and anyone interested and will most definitely will use them again if we have another child.
Thank you for making this experience a bit more tolerable!

Hi my name is Sherilyn and I'm 20 weeks pregnant. I'm from the Philippines but currently in Tokyo with my husband. He went back home to Minnesota recently so I asked him to buy me some Ingrid & Isabel stuff. I just LOVE the BellaBand! I can wear all my pre-pregnancy jeans and skirts! What savings and how eco-friendly! He also bought me a Ruched Tank and I just love my shape in it. I do look beautiful.

I bought my BellaBands at around 13 weeks (am 18 weeks now), and have been wearing them every day since! They have honestly made my life so much easier and more comfortable.

I'm 21 weeks prego and just got my new BellaBands. I'm really a small woman. I didn't know what I was going to do about maternity clothes when I stopped being able to fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans. I still half-way fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans only problem is I can't button them. The BellaBand saved me from having to try to search for maternity jeans that actually fit me. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!! Thank you so much for making my pregnant life that much easier!!

I am 14 weeks pregnant and in the awful in between stage of showing and not showing. To top it all off, we are heading off on a vacation to Mexico soon and with it being winter right now it is almost impossible to find ANY clothing for these seasons. I have a 5 yr old, and he was due in June so I have some of those clothes, but unfortunately they are all huge! So I have been feverishly running around trying to find anything for this trip and to my surprise I came across this BellaBand. As skeptical a person as I am and not really believing that it does what the sales person told me it would, I thought that I should give it a try. (It was tough to splurge on the CAD$40 without knowing too.)
Well, was I pleasantly surprised or what!! I can still fit into a few of my normal capris from my pre-pregnancy as well as those ones that are too big. I am no longer stressed about my trip and having nothing to wear. Thank you so much for this, what an invention!!

I am just over 5 months pregnant and have been searching high and low for maternity pants that are flattering and work appropriate but kept coming up empty handed. Until I found your Everywear Pant! I absolutely love them. The cut shows off the skinny parts of me (the few that are still skinny), and they are dressy enough for work yet casual and comfortable enough for weekend wear.

I just got a facebook message from a girlfriend asking about maternity clothes (I have two kiddos & she is preggers with number one). I immediately sent her a link to your site, telling her that the BellaBand was my secret weapon during my second pregnancy (wish I'd known about it sooner!), and that I recommend she get at least two immediately. I had a black one and a white one, and they carried me through my pregnancy and beyond. LOVE them. Thanks for making such a GREAT product. Genius.

I ordered a chocolate brown Everyday Bellaband from JCPenney recently. I tried it on and was amazed at how much support it gave my big belly. I'm 36 weeks with my second child, currently kicking my own butt for not having one with my first, and not buying one sooner with this baby! I cannot believe how well it holds my maternity pants up, and am very excited to try it with my pre-pregnancy bottoms after baby comes. Thank you so much for coming up with something to FINALLY solve this problem, and making it such a quality, beautiful accessory. I can't believe I dealt without one for nearly two whole pregnancies!

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.
~ Sandi Silver
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.
~ Caitlin Lang
I just received the greatest gift ever—BellaBands! 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.
~ Maureen Devine
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 BellaBand. 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 BellaBand 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 BellaBand.
~ Alison
Just wanted to give two big thumbs up for the BellaBand! 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!
~ Melinda Knuth
I am 34 weeks pregnant with twins and I have worn my BellaBands 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 BellaBands around the house as a tube top is the most comfortable thing!
