belly band for short person?

[jsl32]

I had a belly band, but got rid of it because it was made for a taller lady than I am.  I am 5 feet tall and pregnant with twins (~15w).  It would be nice to have a belly band soon.  What's out there for short people?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

I use the one from Target-sorry, forget the brand, and I just fold it in half.

I didn't think that mattered? Did you try putting it on first, pulling your pants over it and leaving them unbuttoned and then folding the band over the top of your pants to hide the fact that they are unbuttoned? That should help with the height issue. Once your belly gets a little bigger the band won't be as tall. The panel on my maternity jeans came to my boobs in the beginning and not even to my belly button by the end.

It may be one of those really stiff bands, not just stretchy fabric like the BellaBand. My husband bought me one after I had my son and it just stuck out at all these crazy angles. It looked awful and provided really bad support, but I don't remember what brand it was.

And next time around, I'm totally getting a Bellaband (at 5'2", I feel your pain). I remember going to Motherhood Maternity at 17 weeks and looking for one, but they were sold out. The clerk had the nerve to tell me, "You don't need one yet, you're really tiny." I wanted to say, "Well, none of my pants fit, so yes, in fact, I DO need one."

Huh?

I'm 5' and use the Bellaband from Target. They're awesome for everything.

Ditto this. I'm 5'2 and love the target band. I only wish I had more than one. It fits perfectly over my waistband and high enough on my stomach that it doesn't leave lines under my shirts.
