The idea is great, however I rarely used it. I used the smallest button one a few times and the rest of them not at all. Even the small one is still too big. I went back to using a hair tie around the button and through the loop. i never used the fabric pieces either. I think the problem is I'm small(size 2) so my hips get pretty big when I'm pregnant(size 9) and therefore I can't really wear my pants too long before I have to get another size. It might work better for someone who stays in their pants the whole time and just needs more room for their belly.

This is nice when you are too small to fit into maternity clothes (or you just hate them like me) but I'm carrying my baby in my hips apparently, since I could not get most of my pants over my hips past 5 months (but still had no belly).
There is no way I would walk around with my zipper open even with the panel thing on, it still does not match your clothing color 100%.
I just ended up using the belt without the panels and using the 2 lace bella bands that I got from ebay to cover my open zipper.
The slider type button belt did not fit all my work pants (only the ones from Banana Republic which have a large slider) so if you have pants from say for example "Express" that have a small slider, the belt won't work.

The Belly Belt is awesome and I rate it five stars, but only when used in conjunction with a Bellaband. (I'd rate it three stars by itself). Use the Belly Belt to hold your pants closed allowing the extra space you need, then fold the BellaBand down over it. Voila! Smooth and secure, your pants stay up, are bigger to fit your growing belly, and the BellaBand covers the unzipped zipper (and looks like a layered cami). This combination has allowed me to wear all of my regular clothes comfortably through my first trimester, and unless my hips widen considerably, I think I can do the same through part or most of my second trimester.

You can use this product alone and it's comfortable, but it causes the open zipper area to bulge and crinkle, so you definitley want to wear a long and possibly voluminous top over it. Or perhaps a long cami to smooth the zipper area.

Specifically about the Belly Belt combo: I love this set. It has three colored panels (black, white, denim) to fill the v left by the open zipper. There are four belts, a small and large, each in two styles. Style one: buttons for use with jeans, khakis,and other zip/button pants. Style two: hook/sliders for use with slacks, dress/work pants. Each belt has three size settings so the belts can grow as your belly does. It's a great invention, I recommend this (and the BellaBand) as your VERY FIRST maternity clothes!!

This works awesome!!! The belly bands go around the body so they slide or roll up often. This belt extension kept my pants up where they belong after sitting and standing which the bands didn't. This stays in place and is hard to notice. I would've saved money over my pregnancy if I bought this first! You can stay in normal, versus maternity, clothes for many months!

My wife is 5 months along and really likes this extender. She had been using a rubber band to wear some of her pants but this is nice as it has multiple settings and covers the underwear.

She's been using it pretty much every day to keep wearing her old pants.

I was disappointed to learn that the clasps do not fit Banana Republic dress pants. Since I purchase most of my dress pants from that store, this kit has lost a lot of its functionality for me.

This item was great during the beginning of my pregnancy. I didn't use it towards the end of the pregnancy, they definitely do exactly what it says, but as my belly got bigger, the elastic just wasn't enough to hold up my pants. They were always falling down. But up to about 7 months this thing was great! Saved me alot of money on maternity clothes.

I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant and I'm "in between" -- my regular pants don't fit around the waist anymore (but hips & butt are still fine) and maternity pants (size small) also don't fit right -- my hips & butt haven't quite grown in yet and maternity pants sag (it's like I"m wearing low-rider jeans :)) This is perfect for women who are in the in-between stage like me. It does create a bit of a bulge in the waistband but problem easily solved if you wear a tank top underneath your top to create a smoother look (or buy a Belly Band). I'm glad I found this product!

This product saved me throughout this pregnancy! I haven't purchased one pair of long maternity pants yet! I looked for some early on, but because of being small, I had a hard time finding anything that wasn't just absolutely huge. I only bought one pair of maternity shorts. My due date is less than one month away. I have only used this as a pant extender and it has worked great for me. I haven't used the fabric pieces. I'm a small person and was able to find long shirts to cover the fly and any gaps that can occur. This isn't a perfect product, but it is certainly doable if you can manage to stay in your pre-pregnancy size for the duration. I agree with all the others in that the bella band can cover for any flaws this product may create... although I haven't even used those that much because I thought they were so darn hot! I am currently wearing this product as I write this review and I can only hope that it will just last a few more weeks (I'm 36 wks) so I don't have to buy another one! I've practically worn it every single day.

This product is a great idea! I used the belt part, but didn't need to use the fabric. By that time, I did have to buy maternity clothes. However, this allowed me to continue wearing my normal clothes, rather than buying one size up. Totally saved me money there!
