Bump bands!

[Sarah13]

Not sure if I'm just being thick or what but how do these bump band things I keep seeing with maternity clothes work? What are they for?

 

[Constantstar]

Well I use mine to support my bump and also to stop my belly sticking out if clothes as now I'm bigger my old clothes keep rising up!!also if I got old trousers on and don't do them up I cover them with the bump band and then wear a longish top I got mine from asda, think they were 8 quid for 2 so got a black and White pack and they have lasted and hopefully will to the end!!

So I probably don't need one yet? My clothes are tight on tummy but only when I'm sitting down so I undo my top button and belt.

Ul prob be alright for a bit they r handy tho but that's how use them unless ne1 else uses them differently lol x

i use mine the same way as constantstar got the same ones actually!!! there also good for when im wearing dresses to work as i have found some of my leggings don't feel very supportive so they just give extra support!

you can get trousers and skirts that have them sown on already, but i've had a few pairs of trousers where the bump band part has come out, so find that the separate ones work better

i wear mine as i have a uniform for work and my tummy would be out everytime i reached up for something without it - its really subtle and no one really notices it till i point it out. Like the support it gives too

I was wondering if these bands would halp my jeans to stay up? I bought really nice maternity jeans, but they are under bump and keep falling down

 

[Constantstar]

No don't think they would help keep them up but you could use them to cover the fact they r quite low perhaps x

When I was pregnant I found the bump bands great for letting me wear my normal trousers just undone and for covering my bump under tops that were a bit short. Prob saved me a fortune in maternity clothes!! I also found it really useful after baby was here to cover my wobbly belly when feeding lo in public. Would recommend them!

Same here. I've only bought a handful of maternity tops and a pair of maternity jeans. If I'm wearing those I normally don't bother with a bump band, but if I'm in my normal clothes, i.e. jeans/work trousers, I haven't got a hope in hells chance of zipping them up so I leave them un done and pull bump band down to cover it up. You can't tell at all. In fact, I've been wearing them for quite a while and OH only noticed the other week when he saw me getting changed!! Really worth it xxx
