bump bands/ belly bands

[blessfull]

where can i get a good one ?
also do you buy the size you were pre preg ?

I know H&M has some! Not sure about the sizing though - haven't gotten any yet! Although, a pair of maternity pants I got at H&M have a band on them - I got them in a couple sizes up because there's no way I can wear any pre-pregnancy pants sizes anymore.

Mine arrived from New Look today - £8.99 for one black and one white. I got a M/L (biggest size) and I'm an 18 and they fit OK.

I also saw some in Toys R Us at the weekend.

You can wear them over jeans that perhaps are a bit tight and you need to unbutton them. This hides the fact you've got your jeans undone and helps keep them up.

I use them to smooth out my bump as I have a B-Bump. My jeans still fit and rather than wearing a belt and creating more of a B-Bump I wear a bump band over the top and it keeps my jeans up and smooths out where they sit on my waist thus giving me a smooth bump. It makes me feel much more confident and not flabby!

what is a b bump?
im a tubby girl so my bump does not look bumpy, oooh i want to get bump bands now,
do they sell them in the new look shops etc or do i need to only look online? i dont even know what they look lik!

 

[Jaylynne]

A b bump is where you have more than one bump... As in an lower ribcage bump above the baby bump which makes it look like a B. I think

 

[vampybear]

ah ok think mines like that, and always has been as ive always had a tubby belly, assumed it was from my trouser band always around my belly button causing a permanent dent lol

 

[dizzyangel]

they sell them in New Look shops that actually have a maternity section!! Ive had my bump bands from there for a long while and bought them in the store, but after going into other New Look shops in my area I have found out that many of them DONT have a maternity section!! grrrrrrrrrr!

I got these yesterday for $20 shipped. I chose medium, since now my waist is already 34 inches.

the only thing i dont get, is how they actually keep ur trousers up, my understandin is they are designed for when you cant do ur trousers up anymore, but how does a piece of fabric stop ur open jeans from falling down whenever you sit down or stand up?

i dont want no builders bum lol

I got mine from mothercare, they come in dress sizes. They don't hold up your trousers they allow you to wear your own tops for a bit longer but making it look like you have a double layered top on, they also cover up the top of your trousers so you can have the top button undone and no one will know.

Asda also sell them in packs of two! x

 

[vampybear]

asda sell them??? i havent even seen maternity bras in asda which shocked me, i better try and look again, what section would the bands be in?

Haha...mine too...I thought it was from sitting for a long time with stomach rolls..lol!

I like your blog btw! Can you put pictures on blogs? Also, you should mention the common unmentionable side of pregnancy...like pregnancy farts, and how going number 2 becomes exciting (cuz it's rare when you can...at least for me). I love being able to laugh about the less cute side of pregnancy.

 

[ssuchianlo]

Oh...they do sell these things that extend your jeans...but allows you to buttom them. I call them dickies for jeans. https://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=537721&cm_ven=R_Google&cm_cat=OSA_NonBrand&cm_pla=Nursery&cm_ite=pregnant+pants+extender&orderType=2&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Nursery&utm_term=pregnant+pants+extender
