I got limited use with mine too Sarah. It's hard to find longer tops to cover the belly belt too, which I found annoying and I ended up buying a belly pod (kind of like a boob tube, but for tummies!) which covered it over, so I got more use out of it that way, as then I could wear normal-lengthed clothes (it looked like I was wearing another top underneath IYKWIM?). But in the end I got too big anyway and found it much more comfortable to simply wear maternity trousers and tops!
