Ideas for hiding unattractive maternity trouser waistbands!

I'm only very newly pregnant but due to ivf bloat I've dug out my maternity jeans already. I'm nowhere near ready for maternity tops, and I'm finding that being taller than average the tops are a bit short and are showing the less than attractive elasticated trouser top!
Do they still make those belly band things that sit under your top and over the top of trousers? I can find them in black and white but does anywhere make any more interesting colours?

Lots of boob tubes in Primark/Peacocks/New Look etc for the summer - they might do at a pinch?

I mean over the 'bump' not boobs!

Ooo good idea! I just need to cover the hideous spanky pants elasticated bit, it's not a good look lol

I've been wearing mat jeans for a few weeks too and was worried I needed to hide it, but I honestly don't think many people spend much time looking at your trousers to work out if you're pregnant. I was very paranoid about it due to having bleeding and not wanting people to know but no one noticed.

But yes you can get them in lots of places, like here.

I paid £10 for a 3 pack from New Look in black, white and navy, they are fab. I've seen them on eBay in bright colours and patterns.

I agree the maternity waistband is very unattractive!!

H& m had some mini skirts in colours that have served me well..
