I dont wanna sound like a total doughnut but what on earth is a bump band??

I bought one from New Look purely coz it was only £3!! But I don't have a clue what its purpose in life is

to you all xxx

You mean one of those things you put over your jeans? Like a Bella Band?? If that is what it is, it keeps your pants up so you can wear your regular pants...it turns them into maternity.

If not, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Its what Rae said, I think. It attaches to your normal clothes (somehow) so you can keep wearing them through pregnancy when your belly gets bigger.

It looks like a boob tube if that makes sense??

Yeah! That part goes over your bump and your regular trousers sit just under.

Oh ok. So is it basicly to cover my bump up??

Alot of people wear them before they actually need maternity trousers/jeans but are growing out of their normal ones.

You can keep your normal jeans unbuttoned and put the bump band over the unbuttoned jeans so other people can't see they are undone but it means you can wear your normal jeans for longer

Umm, I dunno. Kinda. It's just supposed to help you be able to wear your regular clothes through pregnancy.

Maybe I should let someone answer who knows *exactly* what it is. I'm not good at explaining

Younglutonmum

Yep I get it now lol

God i'm a doughnut

I wear bella bands. They are great for covering your bump and making regular pants last longer. They also help keep maternity pants from slipping off when your bump can't hold them up anymore. They are also great right now when my bump has outgrown my shirts and they are all too short. I also plan to wear them afterwards to give my flabby belly some support and to convert regular shirts into nursing tops (lift top shirt, bella band covers belly).
