Recommend a waist expander belt?

[bea694]

I'm starting to bust out of my favorite capris, and I really don't like maternity capris. Does anyone have a waist expander that they're happy with? I did a search, but have no idea what to choose. Thanks in advance!

I looked at some belly bands at a maternity shop but in my humble opinion it seems like just another unnecessary thing marketed to pregnant ladies. I'm starting week 20 and still wearing all my pre-pregnancy jeans, capris and dress slacks with rubber bands connecting the fasteners. I wear a longer tank top under my shirt that covers the gap. It feels comfortable and is not noticeable to others.

Bella band.

I have two.. and at nearly 30 weeks along still do not own a single pair of pregnancy pants, don't plan on it either.

You have to size them right though, some women have trouble getting them to hold their clothes up... all I can think is they have too large of a size... it should fit snug... not tight and not loose.

Plus it has the added benefit of turning any shirt into a nursing top later on... by being worn around my waist and under my breasts... so if I pull my shirt up I don't show any skin.
