Belly bands

[Madbuttonmum]

I am starting to grown bigger than my jeans and have heard about belly bands that you can wear over your jeans undone to keep them up. Does that sound right? Anyone used them and can recommend where to get one?

I've got a Bump Band, which I have had since about 14 weeks. Still wearing it now at nearly 35 weeks and it is fantastic. Website I used is www.bumpband.co.uk

I got a cheap one off ebay, think it was this one.

It has worked fine for lighter fabrics, doesn't hold my jeans up, I think they are too heavy, so for those I have also been using the hairband trick.

I think possibly I ordered one too big- it did specifically say in the blurb it works by being stretched but I worried it might be too tight so ordered the larger of the two sizes I was between. Perhaps if I'd ordered the smaller it would have worked fine. I am hoping as my bump grows it will get tight enough to hold my jeans up on its own befire the hairband gets too tight!

I got a two pack from very.co.uk for about a tenner I think. Absolutely brilliant, didn't have to buy maternity jeans or work trousers.

They are great. I liked having my bump covered and it meant I could wear lots of different tops without worrying about exposing the growing bump. I think I got 3 for £10 (white, grey and black) from New Look, although that was a few years ago

They're amazing! I'm 22 wks and although I have some maternity jeans/trousers, the bump bands mean I'm still wearing my normal trousers too. Highly recommend!

Thanks for all the replies, have found a super three pack at new look, think I will purchase!
