I wasn’t ready. It couldn’t possibly be time to buy maternity jeans yet. And this shirt could surely work for another couple weeks. <\/em><\/p>\n

But then I saw a picture of myself. The rubber band trick I used to make my normal jeans work for the day was fully visible with the non-maternity blouse that I had worn that day. I was so frustrated. I had looked so put together in the bathroom mirror that morning…<\/p>\n

 The Awkward In Between Phase Of Pregnancy<\/h3>\n

We all know the frustration of having to transition from our favorite jeans to maternity jeans. A maternity belly band can be used for multiple things, most commonly for extra skin coverage or to hold maternity pants in place. However, there are belly bands that have been designed for a great deal of support, not just coverage.<\/p>\n

Maternity pants generally have elastic waists instead of belt loops and buckles<\/strong>, so any extra help keeping them where they belong is a very good thing. They also can help with your non-maternity pants if you are simply wearing them unsnapped and unzipped.<\/p>\n

Not only to they help with keeping them in place, they cover up the unzipped zipper so that you don\u2019t look like you\u2019ve had an unfortunate brain lapse. Not that those don\u2019t happen during pregnancy\u2026\"\"<\/p>\n

Every pregnant mama needs a couple of belly bands in different colors.<\/h4>\n

If you want to combine your extra coverage maternity wear needs with your back support system, we have some options for you to look at that have built-in support and go over your belly for a snug, comfortable wearing experience.<\/p>\n

If all you want is to find a belly band for pants so that you are able to bend over or reach over your head without flashing six inches of baby bump and love handles,  then we\u2019ll match you up with some breathable, soft, cotton bands that will provide that coverage.<\/p>\n

If you want a LOT of support and appreciate your pants staying up and your tummy being covered, we\u2019ve got something for you, too.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bentibo Seamless Everyday Maternity Belly Band<\/h2>\n

These soft belly band products are made as a wardrobe accessory, but having the elastic band hugging your tummy will provide some support! Machine washable and available in <\/a>several colors, these really are an excellent item to keep on hand.

\nAn added perk of these bands is the silicone rubber strip that runs along the lower edge to keep it from folding or rolling, and to help keep your maternity pants from falling down.<\/p>\n

They tend to run large, and most users recommend buying a size smaller than you would think would fit so that you have a good, snug fit that will do its job! <\/p>\n
