Does it's job. Buy Maternity pants!
Belly belt does exactly what is says it does- it keeps the front of your pants (dress or denim) from coming open. The problems are: 1) the corners of the pants still stick up so if your shirt is the least bit form fitting (which it almost certainly is because you're wearing non-pregnant clothes which are starting to be a wee small) then you can see the corners through the shirt. One woman at work must have told me my pants were unzipped about six times before I showed her the belly belt and said I KNOW they're unzipped! 2) The belly band (even the small one) is too big very early on. My pants started being too tight at 8 weeks but I didn't need the corners two inches apart. 3) I stuffed the panel onto one of the little ones (you're not supposed to use a panel with the small ones) because my dress pants wouldn't stay and weren't comfortable half zipped. Besides as an eye doctor I'm always raising my arms so unless I wear a mumu the shirt would reveal part of the unzipped pants.
Bottom line maternity pants are way better. The belly belt does hold your pants closed so if the pants are tight enough around your butt and thighs to stay up mostly by themselves you're fine. Just don't expect it to look perfect or to be nearly as smooth or comfortable as maternity pants!More detail ...
