Maeband Maternity Belly Band: Pregnancy Belt & Jeans Waistband Extender

This product is absolutely amazing. I had a few concerns initially- it wouldn't fit, my zipper would just fall down, it wouldn't cover the gap made by being unbuttoned, it would stick out too much, or wouldn't have enough flexibility to be comfortable when sitting. I'm happy to say all of these ended up being invalid concerns. I'm now 30 weeks pregnant and this has kept me from having to buy maternity pants at all. With the current Covid-19 quarantine happening, I don't have to wear jeans often, but I don't dread it anymore since I got this. I just do my zipper up about 2/3 of the way (and point the tab downward to lock the zipper in place) and put this on. It covers the gap well and keeps my pants snug. All of my shirts go down over it. You can see a bump from the fabric a bit, but it's under a pregnant belly, so I doubt anyone else notices. Besides that, when you get to this point in a pregnancy, you don't give a crap about a fabric bump as long as the product keeps you from feeling nauseous because your pants are too tight... The only issue, which I don't blame on the product, is that you're going to have to pull your pants up a bit more often than you would have to if they were properly buttoned. WELL WORTH not having to buy maternity pants!

Works well, seems overpriced for what it is, but haven’t found as nice of an alternative.

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.

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 loooovd this contraption. I used it for my first pregnancy… and it allowed me to stay in my favorite pre-pregnancy jeans up until I was 6-7 months pregnant! Then I used the larger band. I have a hard time spending money on clothes I will only wear for a few weeks so this allowed me to save money and be comfortable in my own favorite clothes for as long as possible. Great support though it did pull on the belt loops… but I was too big at that point. It’s easy to clean, and very discreet. I couldn’t tell I had it on. It stretches well without loosing its shape and the color allowed it to blend well. Just don’t wear too short of shirts and people will see it haha. But definitely staying around for the next kiddos in the future.

Works great for low and mid-rise jeans but is not a good solution for high rise jeans. Still saved me from having to buy a ton of maternity jeans as I can use this for half of my jeans. A little bulky under tighter shirts but isn't noticeable at all under sweaters or looser fit tees. Overall a great product if you wear mid/low rise pants

Love this - exactly as expected and makes my jeans so much more comfortable to wear. I agree with other reviews that it is a tiny bit bulky, but it's fine with my looser tops. I also found that if I flip the unbuttoned part of my jeans inward and then put this over the gap, it is much less bulky! That's my favourite way to wear it. All in all, I'm very glad I bought it.

Brilliant! exactly what I hoped for!

Mi pareja lo aprovechó muchísimo

J'ai acheté cette ceinture pour ma fille enceinte. Elle trouve ce produit parfait et m'en a demandé un 2ème. Aussi tôt demandé, aussi tôt commandé. Mais c'est quand même elle qui vous dira plus sur les avantages de cette ceinture.

Super in eine Hose oder Jeans zum einfädeln und man kann jede Hose weiter auch in der Schwangerschaft anziehen. Ich habe 10kg zugenommen, aber erst am Schluss der Schwangerschaft und das in den Beinen am Bauch haben die Hosen Dank des Bandes bis zum 7 Monat gepasst. Langlebig. Ohne diesem Band hätte ich mir Umstandskleidung kaufen müssen was ich unnötig fand für so eine kurze Zeit im Winter.
