Try as you might, that top button just won't button, and depending how far along you are, maybe the zipper doesn't zip either! This is just part of the journey through motherhood. But now you're ready for a wardrobe saving product: the pregnancy belly band. Also commonly referred to as a maternity band, this garment can help you extend the life of your pre-pregnancy wardrobe by extending the waistband of your pants and jeans.
A maternity belly band is a thin but sturdy layer of coverage that you wear around your midsection, specifically right around your waistband. This allows you to wear your pre-pregnancy pants unbuttoned and/or unzipped without them falling down. This garment is purely designed for proper coverage, and should not be confused with a pregnancy belly band; while they are similar, they are two different products.
