Bando is strongly stretchy, so it does offer gentle support for the tummy and lower back. We recommend BellyBra for pregnancy support, as clinical trials have proven Belly Bra gives relief from lower back pain.
Where on the tummy do you wear Bando?
You can wear Bando wherever it feels comfortable. Wear it low on the hips to layer under short tops, or high over the tummy to give extra support. Bando can even be worn to hide a pop-out belly button.
How do I wash Bando?
Like you do with all the washing - with gritted teeth! Only joking. Bando prefers a warm, gentle machine wash.
Which way up do I wear Bando?
That's entirely up to you, but the wider seam is often worn on the hips - with the slimmer seam worn on or above the tummy.
How do you wear Bando as a boob tube?
Step into Bando with the wide seam at the bottom and the slim seam at the top. Pull up and over the bust. Now either fold the top down for a double layer boob tube (better for smaller busted women) or enjoy the full width of Bando over the bust (some gathering under the bust can add extra support for fuller busted women).
Is Bando supportive as a boob tube?
It depends on the size of your chest and bust, but our fuller busted testers report that they felt gently supported (they also said that they would wear it under strapless or see-through tops). Smaller busted women have described Bando as offering good support.
I have draw string pants that I'm trying under my tummy, but they still feel like they are falling down. Can Bando help?
Yes, Bando can sit just over the top of your pants to help keep them up. You will immediately feel more comfortable, and the softness against your skin is wonderful.
