Stretchy bump support bands?

I'm 19 weeks, but already finding I need to put a hand under the bump to support it when I'm walking or standing for a longer period. I'd like to get some kind of stretchy support band.

I don't feel I need to go for the full-on structured velcro type yet! But I can only see this type, or the non-support type which you use to go over your unbuttoned jeans, which I presume would not support the bump at all.

I guess what I want is a kind of giant tubi-grip! Does that exist, and would it be safe, or too tight?

There are loads available to suit most budgets.

Can't recommend any as I have avoided them despite some pretty huge bumps (inc twins). Problem with them is your muscles can become lazy, you are better off trying to exercising to retain some core strength.

I had one from mamas and papas that went under my jeans; it helped when I had pelvic girdle pain

Thanks both :)

Chelyanne, I couldn't find any when I Googled, but obviously not looking well enough. Some of the stretchy types claimed to offer support, but the reviews suggested otherwise! Thought someone might have a recommendation.
I agree re the core strength so planned to take it on walks with me and just put it on when the soreness gets too much - a bit of both kinda thing!

UserXXX Will have a look for the Jojo one, thanks for the tip!
