I love my bella bands. I have one in white and black, and I wear them pretty much every day. They are perfect for those pants that don't quite button anymore. I would wear it and leave my jeans unbuttoned sometimes. They help cover the top of the jeans and keep them up.
Even if I don't need them to "hide" my unbottoned pants, I wear it to hide my belly button. I have a huge outtie now that shows through all my clothes, and the bella band helps hide that a bit. Love this item

I bought two from target and I like them enough to wear them with unbuttoned jeans. You do have to pull the band down pretty far to get it to cover your jeans and stay put. The band ends up showing a bit much for my taste. The other problem I have noticed is that it tends to ride up pretty easily. That said, you can't beat the price (bought mine at target). It definitely helps with the gap that is created with unbuttoned jeans! I tried using a hair tie as well, this works a lot better.

love it hides the button part on jeans but rides up belly.

I was really hoping the Bella Band would enable me to use my regular clothing longer but was disappointed. I had to place my Bella Band so low to hold up my unbuttoned pants that the Bella Band was too visible for my taste. I bought a trio for around $70 and didn't even open two. I think that I wasted my money and a hair tie around my button would've worked better.

The bella band is designed to give you a little more time in your regular pants before you have to fit into maternity clothes. Yes, it works, but it's not as comfortable and hassle-free like they make it sound. It rides up a lot, so you're going to do a lot of adjusting of it through the day, and the material is fairly thin so it's easy to see your button/clasp through it (in other words you don't get the "smooth" look like you do with maternity clothes) If you feel like you must have one, make sure you buy one at Target not a specialty store... you'll spend way too much!
