Bumpbasics Maternity & Baby

The Bella Band is the most versatile maternity accessory you'll use throughout your entire pregnancy. Perfect at every stage, our ultra-soft seamless knit band is designed to stretch and recover repeatedly as your belly blooms in pregnancy and recuperates after baby.

When your pants, skirts or shorts aren't fitting just so, slip this little number on over your waistband. Instant hold, instant comfort, instantly smooth.

How to Wear

Newly pregnant: Ideal with pre-pregnancy jeans, pants, skirts and shorts that are unbuttoned and even unzipped a bit. Wear any pre-pregnancy favorite as long as your bum and hips allow. At this stage, we like the Bella Band folded over adding an extra layer to disguise bulky unfastened buttons and zippers. It also adds strength to hold up your pants. Great with transition wear that may fall down around your hips if you're still small but enjoy the comfort of an expanded waistline.

Definitely pregnant: Great with so many maternity styles. The Bella Band conceals excess fabric, smooths out panels and elastic waistbands, and holds up any style that might feel a bit loose. Great with any transition wear that may be tight—unbutton them to get a little more use! At this stage, the Bella Band works folded over or in a single layer... whatever feels good. It's also comfortable with drawstring pants that fall below the belly—the Bella Band holds them up!

So very pregnant: Sometimes that belly pushs under-the-belly styles down around your hips. Use the Bella Band as an extra reinforcement over your maternity waistband. Try a single layer covering the belly and waistband if you want some support. Otherwise, double-layer over your under-the-belly waistband.

Recovering Belly Babes: OK, so you can't leave the hospital in pre-pregnacy clothes (and if you can, we don't want to hear about it). Bring your Bella Band to the hospital. Wear with maternity that is too big and pre-pregnancy that can't fasten around your waist. You'll have more clothes to choose from, and feel better with it on. Nursing mom? There are fabulous new styles that allow you to nurse inconspicuously. For the days you don't have one of them on and need to lift from below, the Bella Band hides your recovering belly so you can feel better about how you look.

The Bella Band is all about clothes fitting better as you grow, having more choices everyday, and feeling good about how you look.
