The Maternity Bump Band is a simple and cheap must-have for every pregnant woman – no matter what your style or size is! These can be on show. Or not. Mine wasn’t.
I received one from some girlfriends when I first announced I was pregnant. And have worn it regularly ever since.
In the early days I used it when my clothes were getting too tight… I wasn’t ready for maternity clothes (mentally or physically) so I used the bump band to cover the fact my clothes were undone. Depending on how you grow, you may find having a Bump Band a great alternative to buying lots of new clothes – although in the summer it does get a bit hot! As I got bigger, the Bump Band became a support item. As my belly button when from an inny to an outy, the Bump Band was used to stop is showing through my clothes. Very versatile.
The bands grow with you, so you shouldn’t have to keep re-buying them. I haven’t. There are loads of versions of the Bump Band on the market. The main difference between the bands (and therefore the associated cost) is the level of support they give you.
I personally use one from TopShop, and love it but you can get a Bump Band from any of the following places:
Bump Band - £16.99 plus £2.50 P&P
Bumps Maternity Wear - £14.95
TopShop – £5 plus £4 P&P
Bella Band @ Baby Works - £16.99 plus P&P
Carriwell Maternity Support Band
Gro-Group Medium/Large (16-20) Bando Band (Black)
Let me know how you get on with your band … or not, as the case may be!
i think it is a great use to a pregnant woman.
I have a topshop one too. at the moment its okjay but thinkn i need more support as im starting to get big
I wore one black and one white maternity band all the way from week 12 to 43 (I know…), and I loved them! They allow you to wear your regular clothes much longer and keep your bump warm when it’s getting a little chilly out there.
PS: Hi Claire,
Great job you’ve done here. Love the site!
just read your review about the bump bandl. i think i shall get one.
I bought some bump bands at New Look at the weekend – 3 for £10. They’re a nice soft material, and look good. I was surprised, and impressed, by the wide range of maternity wear that New Look stocks (and thus bought far more than I need at only 15 weeks!).
I totally agree with you. I have quite a few bits from New Look too. I will do a review of them next I think
you can get good maternity swimwear on my web ! Just click my name

Expecting moms can use pregnancy bands to wear their pre-pregnancy jeans throughout the first trimester. The bands can also be worn during the second trimester to hold up maternity jeans designed for the end of the pregnancy.
