Need a belly band!

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
I need a belly band like yesterday, where can I get one? Do I have to order it online or is there a store that sells them that I can go to today and get one?

If you want a Bella Band, you can look up nearby retail locations on their website: http://www.ingridandisabel.com/locator/index.php

I bought one online (can't remember the brand) and one from Target, which I believe is Bella Band but their "lite" version or something like that. The one from target is very thin and comes high up on my belly, and is quite tight. I would suggest trying them on in the store rather than relying on the size written on the back of the box. According to the box, I was on the low end of the medium range, but it still feels a little tight.

I checked Target about a week ago and couldn't find one. Where in Target was it located?

In the maternity clothes section. I also bought a belt style one at a mommy and me consignment store. Depends on where you're getting achey!

The achiness is in the inner thighs and pubic area. I've even developed a waddle and I'm not even in the third trimester yet! I'm also getting some vericose veins and read that a belt can help.

Do you have a Motherhood near you? Back around Thanksgiving I got their version of a belly band, and I also picked up a secret fit shaper panty. I found that I wasn't all that thrilled with the band, but the panty gives awesome support. (I wear it over my regular panties so I don't have to wash it every time I wear it) If I'm feeling pelvic pain and/or round ligament pain, I will wear it and it gives the support I need. I've had maternity belts prescribed from my doctor for my last 2 pregnancies and they were so hot and bulky. This does a better job and I barely know I'm wearing it.

Do you mean Motherhood Maternity? Yep, there are a few stores nearby. Thanks for the tip, I will try to get there tomorrow.

So I bought a band from Motherhood today and support hose. The support hose were sized totally incorrectly and don't fit at all. The band is the type that supports the back and feels great as long as I am standing up - but when I sit down it cuts right into my legs and hurts. Isn't there a soft band? At the store she said those were just for wearing your normal pants longer. Now I am thinking that is what I should have gotten. I will have to go return both the items I got because neither one will work.
