Good priced Bump Band??

Sidekick2

Does anyone know which shops sell reasonably priced ‘bump bands’ for pregnancy? These are the things I’m talking about:

I live in Oxford and I’ve been to M&S, BHS, Debenhams and Primark and can’t find anything that resembles this. Actually, maternity clothes in Oxford are very hard to come by…unless I’m just looking in the wrong places.

If anyone knows where I can pick some up and which stores stock it I would be most grateful.

You can get them in New Look. Think its a pack of 3 for £10.

Asda have 2 for £5.99 (I think) or you can just wear long vests and they do the same trick. H&M longline, non maternity vests are the best ones. Also they were my only item of clothing that maintained it's shape and could be worn again after pregnancy!!

ETA: My mistake they were £8 for a 2 pack!

How do these actually work.

Well you are supposed to be able to wear your jeans underneath unbuttoned and your pants will stay up?

I didnt use one till this week (I am 37 weeks) and for me its worked as I can wear my Adidas pants under the bump but I have this bump band on as well and my top so if my top lifts at all then people will get flashed with the bump band rather than my pregnant belly lol

They go over your trousers and under your top to hide the undone top button so you can carry on wearing pre pregnancy trousers at first. They can also be used to bridge the gap between trousers and top as bump gets bigger, and can be used as a tummy cover if you breastfeed afterwards but don't want to flash your fleshy bits!

Thanks - this would be perfect except the new look store here does not even do a maternity line
I might have to convince the BF to take me to ASDA later on. i really don't want to buy online as I kind of want these TODAY but if i have no other choice i'll probably opt for the ebay one.

Thanks for all the advice :-)

got mine on ebay

I had some from Next, and also bought some from eBay. They were the best maternity-wear item I owned!

I never used them. Couldn;t see the point. Stopped wearing my jeans at 5 weeks when they were way too tight to do up - couldn;t get the zip up even.

I just bought a pair of black maternity jeans from H&M and wore them all the way through my pregnancy, plus long vests from there as someone has already said. I really didn;t get the point of bump bands.
