How to stop the elastic panel in low bellied maternity jeans from folding inside the material?

Question

I am 17 weeks pregnant and really like the half (low) panel maternity jeans but the elastic waist band keeps riding up to the top of the material and folding in on it's self. How do I fix it and prevent it from happening when I wash them? It shows through my maternity shirts and looks funny. It's too hot to wear the full belly maternity pants. Any suggestions? Any one else experience this? Thank you!!

OMG! If you find out, let me know! Mine ALWAYS did that, and I could never fix it. I just got the Bella Band, you can wear it over regular pants. And it doesn't look retarded.

lol..I hate that. you would think that they could figure out a way to keep it from happening. I heard it was from drying them. That the elastic shrinks when it gets hot. So this time, I have decided to wash in cold water and  hang dry all my maternity pants and see if that works. So we will see :)
