The BellaBand by Ingrid and Isabel is an essential part of any pregnant woman’s wardrobe. For those of you that do not know what I am talking about, it is a perfectly stretchy band that you wear over your pants, skirts, or jeans. In the early stages of pregnancy, it allows you to wear your non-maternity clothes a lot longer because you can unbutton or unzip your pants and it keeps them in place.
Now, just because you are not in the first trimester of pregnancy doesn’t mean you should put away your BellaBand. Our stores have heard of so many OTHER creative ways that women wear their BellaBand, I thought I would share a few. (Not that there was any doubt that moms are creative creatures!)
1. Wear with your maternity pants to help smooth excess fabric and bulk if you are still ‘growing into’ some pants!
2. During the last trimester, wear with your pants to help keep them in place and your belly supported.
3. Double up your BellaBand and wear as a seamless, strapless bra! There are so many tops that need this kind of bra – yet you cannot find them in any lingerie section. Great for tube tops where you need a little extra coverage.
4. Did I say tube top? Wear the BellaBand itself as a tube top! Ok, maybe just around your yard, but its a great tool for helping you avoid tan lines!
5. Wear over your post-partum tummy to contour and conceal any post-baby jelly belly.
6. Out-and-about and need to nurse your baby? Wearing the BellaBand lets you nurse without revealing your entire midsection to the world. (And, it keeps you warmer during the chilly times of the year!)
