Belly Belts - has anyone used them??

[Shelli08]

Hi im 27 weeks pregnant and i cannot find any decent clothes, if i wear normal theyre too tight and if i wear maternity theyre too big. I went on a website to find a belly belt which convert your clothes into maternity wear, has anyone used them, if so can you tell me if they are worth buying ?? Thank you

You're only going to get bigger so I would buy new clothes

If you don't want maternity gear buy different styles and sizes. But you will do most of your growing from about 28/30 weeks on, and normal trousers just aren't comfy.

I just sold mine and tbh it wasn't much cop! Better to just buy maternity!

I got by with lots of normal stuff and the belly belts, so they worked for me. I did have some maternity trousers with the stretchy top for the last few weeks - but wasn't leaving the house much by then so didn't care if my belly was hanging out all over!

Thanks 4 ur help i might just buy a few dress sizes bigger than maternity just for comfort

I only used the belt bits with the buttons, the material bit was useless IMO, and I wasn't wearing clothes with side fastenings. Useful for being able to wear non maternity trousers, with a bump band (£5 from TopShop), but I could have improvised myself and saved the money! I still had mat wear too though - wouldn't have been able to use the belly belt on all my clothes.

I found mine worse than useless

I used mine when I first started getting a bump, but it only really worked with bottons, or it moved up or down. I was so much more comfy when I got some maternity clothes.
