MAEBAND Maternity Belly Band for Pregnant Women — Instantly Extend Your Jeans, Pants & Shorts | Adjustable Waistband Belt Extender for Pregnancy & Postpartum | Soft & Stretchy Maternity Clothes Accessory for Comfort & Support (Medium, Midnight Black)

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.

This is a very great product.

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

I got this hoping I wouldn't need to invest in maternity jeans but after a full-on breakdown one afternoon because this band just wasn't cutting it, alas - maternity jeans are your better bet. This is an Ok alternative and may work for some, but your zipper eventually won't go all the way up and then you're stuck with a weird fitting pair of pants! You also have to undo the velcro and redo it each time you use the restroom - a pain once you get bigger. I recommend investing in a pair of $40 maternity jeans early on in your pregnancy over this band. You'll feel better and more confident as well as be able to wear more tops AND not have to walk around with your fly down. Nice try but no thanks!

Buy one in every color! I hated maternity jeans my first round and found this, I wanted to be able to stay in my normal jeans / pants for as long as possible well I work. As long as you have a long enough shirt to cover it it works great. its comfortable and easy to use. You don't even know its there -- hair tie pant buttoning pregnancy moms this is worth the upgrade! Purchased in white -- getting the black and will be gifting to my pregnant friends.

I used this band through 2 different pregnancies and it was amazing and saved me from buying maternity jeans which are hard and few to come by where we live!

These are cool! For someone that refuses to dress in sweats I really wanted to keep wearing my jeans sometimes! I used them to be able to wear my jeans until like week 25. I gained a lot of weight this pregnancy so they stopped fitting my legs but for the belly these were soo great!

I didn’t think about the fact that the pants you want to use this with still have to zip up! Nice that it bridges the gap in the waistband, but I was left with a wide-open fly anyway where my zipper wouldn’t go up anymore. Maybe okay if you’re not far along or very big in the belly yet (or depending on your belly shape), but sadly never worked for me.

ich freue mich immer wieder über diesen kleinen Helfer :) habe mir das Band in meiner 2. Schwangerschaft im 5. Monat bestellt. Bin nun am Ende 36. Woche und trage dank dem Band immer noch alle meine normalen Jeans Hosen. Denke auch die ersten Wochen nach der Entbindung ist es noch sehr gut einsetzbar; ganz ohne Umstandshose wollte ich aber auch nicht sein ;). Mehrere Waschgänge bei 40 Grad hat das Band ohne Probleme überlebt!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and bought a M. Planning to buy a L later on.

I love the Maeband, it is better than I was expecting it to be. I used the chart to order the size M and it is perfect and fits all my pants/jeans so I can wear them while being pregnant. I am only 3 months along so I am not sure how long this trick will work but I have enough room to expand it that I think it should work for the majority of my pregnancy. It is much better than the hair tie trick I was using before I got this band. The band is also pretty stretchy which makes it even more comfortable especially when I bend down or have a very full bladder. I even showed my friend who just had her baby and she said "That is genius I wish I had known about that while I was pregnant!" So tell your pregnant friends they will appreciate it :)

Bonne qualité, contente de mon achat. J’ai arrêté de l’utiliser à 6 mois de grossesse car je n’ai que des pantalons taille haute, et malgré le grande taille choisie, mon ventre ne passe plus.

This is the best jean extender I have found - it actually works and should be compatible with majority of jeans (you just need jean loops). It's unnoticeable with longer shirts/blouses/jumpers etc and is comfortable. Downside: I wish it came in other colours & its bulky - you can't wear a fitted/tight top over the band or a shorter top as its very noticeable and being black you definitely can't wear it with white/lighter colours. So not ideal if you are wanting to show off the bump with a shorter top. It's still the best product I've come across if you are wanting to wear some of your fav pre pregnancy jeans (those button ones don't work).
