Belly band won't stay in place
I bought a BeBand from Target a couple of days ago, because I can't really wear my jeans without being almost fully unzipped and my other pants have to be unzipped for long car trips, which I make a lot of (and will be making for Thanksgiving).
I'm wearing it for the first time today, with my jeans, and this is not working. Because of the shape of my ribcage and hips, even now that I have a growing belly my waist still goes in very suddenly on the sides, it hasn't gotten significantly wider. The band will not stay on my jeans! It keeps trying to ride up to the smaller part of my waist. When I'm sitting down it mostly does it in the back, and when I stand up and do something even somewhat active (like taking my dogs for a walk this morning) it goes up on the sides. The front stays in place a bit better, but once the sides start going up it eventually affects the front, too.
I had it folded double, with the top edge just above my belly button and the bottom edge down around the middle of my zipper (when it's in place). I also tried folding it down again, so it's quadrupled and doesn't come above the top of my jeans at all, but as soon as I bend over it rides up in the back and becomes a total mess, and when I'm sitting my unbuttoned button tries to pop over it and stick out through my shirt.
This is driving me crazy and I am tempted to return it and just get a pair of size 14 jeans for now, even though they will be baggy in the hips and butt. Am I doing this wrong? I've seen people complain about them rolling down, but not up.
