Belly Bands work with Shorts

Do belly bands work with shorts as well as they do with pants? My husband and I decide to take a weeks vacation in Florida randomly at the end of this month. It doesn’t give me a lot of time to prepare and I’m not quite showing enough right now to really need maternity pants. I’m currently 13 weeks and will be 17 weeks at that point. But at my first pregnancy so I’m not sure how much I will be showing then. Maybe I can just buy a 20$ belly band rather than an entire new wardrobe of shorts
