MAEBAND Maternity Belly Band for Pregnant Women — Instantly Extend Your Jeans, Pants & Shorts | Adjustable Waistband Belt Extender for Pregnancy & Postpartum | Soft & Stretchy Maternity Clothes Accessory for Comfort & Support (Large, Pearl White)

Belly band is perfect for early pregnancy. I wasn’t able to fit in maternity pants yet as they were too big but my old pants were feeling uncomfortable. These belly bands were perfect and I got so many compliments from the staff at my OB. Great for the value, easily adjustable and kinda stretchy to fit your need. For first trimester I needed a small, second trimester I used a large so that it would last the remainder of my pregnancy. Worked really well!

I bought this at 7 weeks when I was starting to not be able to button my pants. I’m 14 weeks now and still using it. It’s wonderful for the first and (so far) early second trimesters, as I’m not big enough yet for full on maternity pants, but I also can’t button or zip any of my old pants anymore. I did try buying some pants a size up, and that works too but the down side is the pant legs are also bigger as the size goes up so they look a little baggy on me. I like this option better since it just expands the waist area. Two things to note: 1) different pants have belt loops spaced differently. For some of my pants, the Velcro meets right in the middle, and for others it does have to stretch a bit. And 2) I recommend wearing longer shirts to cover the waist so you can’t see it (and can’t see that the pants are unzipped too, since this only covers the button area). Overall, the stretch is good, it works with all my pants, it lays flat enough that you can’t really see it under an shirt, and the Velcro holds on well. I haven’t had any issues with it ripping or tearing yet either.

I honestly didn't have the highest hopes for this, but thought it might be worth a try, to avoid amazing to buy maternity jeans for as long as possible - and this actually works really well! I'm normally a size 8, and I got a size M, I was skeptical it would reach the belt loops on each side but I haven't had an issue yet. It stretches really well, stays in place and keeps my jeans 'closed' and up. It very comfortable, no squeezing on the belly. Giving 4 stars because you do need to wear a top that covers it and I'm only 16 weeks and haven't really popped yet so I'm not so sure how it will work with as the belly gets bigger - but for now it's making getting dressed MUCH easier and comfier

Like other reviewers have said the quality of the product is solid and I have no complaints there. But for me and my body type (I’ve always had a bit of a tummy around the navel area) I found it to be too bulky which defeated the purpose of trying to keep the illusion of a slim silhouette. I was trying to hide my advancing pregnancy for as long as possible at the workplace and my look from the profile view was important to me. Even with loose fitting tops or blouses I was aware of my awkward and sort of bulky protruding belt-line when wearing the band. As the day went on my jeans button would work its way over the top of the band, making things more lumpy, and I’d be periodically readjusting it to tuck it back under the band. By the end of the workday my belt loops, were a little stretched and pulled inward towards the button and zipper area. This didn’t seem like a good idea for “wear” on the jeans and other work pants. My pants did stay up though! I tried wearing it a few times, but because I didn’t get a profile look, as smooth as I was seeking, and found my-self fussing with my belt-line throughout the day, I found myself just going back to the old ponytail holder looped around the button, through the button hole and back to the button. It seemed less bulky and even a bit less noticeable than when wearing the band. For that reason I gave it 3 stars. Perhaps a girl’s body type influences the way it wears? It just wasn’t for me.

Buy one in every color! I hated maternity jeans my first round and found this, I wanted to be able to stay in my normal jeans / pants for as long as possible well I work. As long as you have a long enough shirt to cover it it works great. its comfortable and easy to use. You don't even know its there -- hair tie pant buttoning pregnancy moms this is worth the upgrade! Purchased in white -- getting the black and will be gifting to my pregnant friends.

I used this band through 2 different pregnancies and it was amazing and saved me from buying maternity jeans which are hard and few to come by where we live!

This little band saved me plenty of dollars on maternity clothes. I didn’t really get a big bump until around 7 months and was able to use this until then to give myself some extra room without wearing maternity jeans (which I found to be uncomfortable in comparison) My only note which is more fyi than about the band itself- some jeans worked better than others but that was because the quality of some of the zippers isn’t great and they fall if they’re not buttoned.

I got a medium and the size is fine. It convenient to have so you don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe.

ich freue mich immer wieder über diesen kleinen Helfer :) habe mir das Band in meiner 2. Schwangerschaft im 5. Monat bestellt. Bin nun am Ende 36. Woche und trage dank dem Band immer noch alle meine normalen Jeans Hosen. Denke auch die ersten Wochen nach der Entbindung ist es noch sehr gut einsetzbar; ganz ohne Umstandshose wollte ich aber auch nicht sein ;). Mehrere Waschgänge bei 40 Grad hat das Band ohne Probleme überlebt!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and bought a M. Planning to buy a L later on.

I love the Maeband, it is better than I was expecting it to be. I used the chart to order the size M and it is perfect and fits all my pants/jeans so I can wear them while being pregnant. I am only 3 months along so I am not sure how long this trick will work but I have enough room to expand it that I think it should work for the majority of my pregnancy. It is much better than the hair tie trick I was using before I got this band. The band is also pretty stretchy which makes it even more comfortable especially when I bend down or have a very full bladder. I even showed my friend who just had her baby and she said "That is genius I wish I had known about that while I was pregnant!" So tell your pregnant friends they will appreciate it :)

Bonne qualité, contente de mon achat. J’ai arrêté de l’utiliser à 6 mois de grossesse car je n’ai que des pantalons taille haute, et malgré le grande taille choisie, mon ventre ne passe plus.

Sicuramente un po' caro, ma per me è la svolta: sono al 4º mese quindi la pancia non è ancora grande, ma è abbastanza grande da non riuscire a mettere i soliti jeans senza impazzire. La fascia è resistente, di un bel tessuto, morbida ed elastica, e anche a contatto con la pelle non da assolutamente nessun fastidio. Magari non andrà bene per tutta la gravidanza, ma per il momento, super soddisfatta!
