stretchy thing at waist to make trousers last longer...

[mckenzie]

Did I dream it or have I seen advertised somewhere a clever little piece of elastic that you use with your ordinary trousers to make the waist slightly bigger so that you can wear them a bit longer?

Yes I had one when I was pg. You can get them here

I used to use a hair elastic. Threaded it though the button hole, then through itself iyswim, then it could loop over the button.

thank you. CountessDrac, have you actually used that one from Bump to 3/Grobag?

I gave mine to a fellow Mnetter last year.

It was the most uncomfortable thing ever created!!!

That's not why I gave it to to though

DS3 had been born so I didn't need it anymore.

thanks Emmatmg - It doesn't look very comfortable in the picture. I think I just want something whereby I can leave the button whole undo without the waistband on the trousers sticking out (coes that make sense?)
I guess I could make it myself with a piece of elastic and a button at one end a button whole at the other end. Or better still, I could ask my mum to make ti for me as i'm useless with a needle and cotton!

I have a pack of them - I bought them and then never used them. It's a bit of elastic but with different coloured materials so you don't show your tummy.
Let me know if you want me to post them to you - I would just be chucking them out otherwise

thats really kind of you TracyK.
If you're sure that you'll only chuck them out anyway.

No probs - email me your address to
[email protected] and I'll dig them out.

i've found these things now - do you still want them - if so let me know where to send them

I was just about to buy some of these - if there are any going I'd be interested!

email (see below for my address) me your address as mckenzie hasn't sent me hers- maybe she doesn't want them any more.

hi tracyk, I did e mail you back when you first gave me your address and by coincidence i was thinking on friday that i should look for this message as I hadn't recevied anything and pehaps you were trying to get in touch with me as you'd not found them after all. I would still like them please if that's okay? I'll e mail you again. Are there 2 in the pack?
perhps miranda and I could have one each.

Hi McKenzie - I never got the emails - sorry.
there are actually 3 in the pack but varying sizes - obviously using the bigger ones as you get bigger!!
maybe we should see who is at what stage of pregnancy??

have you got the e mail that i sent on sunday tracy? My computer is saying that ti went althoguh I guess it mgiht come back sometime today saying it couldn't deliver it.
I'm normally a size 8 and i'm 18 weeks pregnant so dont know what size that means I would be using.
If you dont get my e mail today would you perhaps e mail me instead?

Sorry i never got the email and I've just checked nothing there yet.
let me know your email add and I can email you. i have sent a cat to you but i'm not sure how they work.

got your email - will post off soon.

have posted today McKenzie

Tracyk, the belt things have just arrived. Thanks very much again.

We currently have a Salvation Army envelope here waiting for collection so I shall add some extra to it as you wont let me pay anything for postage or the belts. IS that okay with you?

perfect idea!
