How to Avoid Buying Maternity Pants
I had my son 5 years ago, and I can honestly say maternity clothing has come so far since then! There’s really cute options out there now. However, some stages of pregnancy can be awkward, especially when trying to figure out how to dress your growing bump.
One trick that I’ve used during all three of my pregnancies is a belly band. If you haven’t heard of it, you are missing out! It looks like the bottom half of a tank top, but it’s super stretchy and has a bit of grip on it. Basically, you put on your regular pants, zip them as far as they’ll go, and then pull the band down to cover it. The grip holds the pants in place and keeps them from sagging!
It’s a comfortable fix that doesn’t leave you pulling at your pants all day. Plus, it saves you a little more time before you have to buy maternity jeans or pants! Always a win for me 😉
These belly bands hold up really well. In the beginning, you can start out folding it in half (over itself) while your bump is still smallish. As you grow, you can wear it as a single layer. If you do eventually need to purchase maternity jeans, make sure to check out my affordable picks in this post.
The belly band pays for itself and saves you from having to buy a bunch of maternity clothes, I’d highly recommend it!
