Love this band! Once you start using all those maternity clothes, it seems as if your wardrobe comes to an end. But these bands helped be continue using my regular pants for quite some more time (I was even using them through week 37). I have two, one in black and one in beige. They're super comfy and, even though some reviews say they tend to run down, I didn't have that problem. The band would stay in place all day. I like a more "snug" fit and I believe they gave me just that support but it all depends in the size you get it guess... The black one you can even use and pull it off as the lower part of a T-shirt or cami. So it doesn't look at all as a maternity band or weird support item. Just loved how I didn't feel limited with this little piece in my closet!
