Any Suggestions?

So today marked my first day in maternity pants this pregnancy. (Thank you, Mom, for my new jeans!!) Let me just say that maternity pants are seriously one of the greatest things ever created. I think I might wear them year round (even outside of pregnancy) if it weren't for having a hard time keeping them up. I vaguely remember this with Caleb, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep maternity pants from sliding down?

The only ones I liked were the ones that had just the thick band that kinda sat below your belly rather than the ones that stretched up over your whole belly. I also had a pair from Old Navy that sat low under the belly and had adjustable buttons on the side (like toddler jeans). I tried several different ones with the fully belly covering but never found any that I liked...

My fave, fave pair is like Jenn's. Comes up over the belly partially but not fully. The totally "full" panel feels terrible to me for most of the pg, though at the very end, since I'm larger now, it's helped me to keep the pants up. Earlier when I would wear the "full panel" kind, I'd have to kinda roll the panel down to tolerate the feeling! That's my story!

I used the Belly Band to keep them up. It's a separate tight band that you can slip on over the waist of your jeans/pants: http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Be-Mine-Maternity-Belly/dp/B000OSAH8I.

Can't wait to find out the gender! :)

totally loved full panel! Though as due date arrives, nothing really felt good. :) What about those bands that wrap around your belly? I never had one but the concept seems nice.
