Fertile Mind - Belly Belt Combo, The Ultimate Maternity Wear Solution

What you get in the box: 1 small button extender (with 3 buttons to choose from for different sized bumps) 1 small clasp extender (with 2 clasps to choose from for different sized bumps) 1 large button extender (with 2 buttons to choose from for different sized bumps) 1 large clasp extender (with 2 clasps to choose from for different sized bumps) 3 cloths (white, blue & black) modesty covers. These are used with the large extenders so that your undies are not on show to the world. Although this is a simple idea it works great and saves you having to have an entire new maternity wardrobe. Each extender is elasticated so can expand a little. Now you can wear your favourite trousers/jeans for longer. Recommended.

Very good bit of kit for pregnant ladies. I relied on mine so much throughout my pregnancy, it saves so much money on maternity clothes! It was especially good for my work uniform so I didn't have to go and buy any maternity work trousers. They are easy to use and come with button attachments and clips as well. You do still need a garment of clothing covering the belt and piece of material as it is quite obvious and can look silly.

I bought this toward the beginning of my pregnancy and I have to say although I haven't used all the parts (I'm now 38weeks) it has still be worth the price compared to buying lots of maternity bottoms. I have had to buy some bottoms but not because this product doesn't work with them it's simply because I put weight on all over my legs and bottom meaning even if they fitted round my waist they just wouldn't pull up in the first place. For this reason I believe that if id bought maternity jeans etc it could have been a very big waste of money which, when your already paying out lots for a new baby, is not a good thing. As I've said Ive only really used the small buttoned attachment but it's been a life saver. There are so many different sizes you can have them and they work with so many different items (there are pieces for smart trousers as well as anything with a button) all for less money than if you would probably pay for one pair of maternity bottoms. My only disappointment is that I didn't have one of these the first time I was pregnant. Highly recommended.

I bought this item as I didn't want (nor was able!) to spend a lot of money on maternity clothes that I would wear for only a few months. In theory this is a good idea. At 34 weeks I am still using the first belt - there is a second larger belt, and in turn these can be combined to give an even longer belt, so it will definitely last for the duration of my pregnancy. However, the buttons (two per belt) are in a fixed position so most of the time you have to choose between too tight (not recommended of course) or just that bit too loose, with the result that I spend a great deal of time hauling my jeans back up as they gradually fall down while walking around! Yes they are on an elasticated band, but it doesn't seem to hold all that well. I did find that even with the smaller belt I need to use the fabric insert which ends up being bunched up since it isn't designed to be used with this size of belt. Also, although it will prevent you from flashing your underwear, it's still perfectly obvious you're going around with your zip down so you'll need to make sure you have some extra-long tops to keep covered up. Also, on this size belt, one of the buttons has been sewn onto the elasticated section and I found that after a while it did fall off and had to be resewn. Overall I would still say it's a good idea, but the problems mentioned above mean I do tend to only use it when going out, and stick to tracksuit bottoms at home.

This little gadget (or rather selection of gadgets) is marvellous. It now means that I can wear all the trousers that no longer do up, and as long as I wear a long top to cover up the fastening they work a treat and look great! Besides, who wears a crop top whilst pregnant?! Also very useful as I shouldn't have to spend much money on maternity trousers (which never seems to look very good anyway). Anyway, highly recommended!

I bought this in my fourth month in the hopes of staying in my trouser longer. I was inbetween where my old trousers did not fit and I was not big enough to fit properly in maternity trousers. I was very disappointed. The elastic is cheap and stretches out very quickly, not strong enough to really work. Also many of my trousers are not the simple button with zip kind. I have many pairs with a cross over piece that is both a button and a hook, this will not work well with that kind of trouser. Also the hook pieces are very large, so none of my nice trousers from Banana, GAP or H and M will work with it, they all use smaller hooks than this product has. Now that I am big enough to use this, it will not actually make any of my trousers fit properly! Very disappointed.

I bought these when I was pregnant as I found that when I was about 3-4 months, I wasn't big enough for the maternity clothes but my own jeans and trousers were just too tight. When I was bigger I then found that the legs on the maternity jeans were horrible and unflattering so I carried on using these right to the end, although admittedly not as much after about 7 months as that big bit of stretchy fabric going up over your bump was a lot cosier... They are great for items you hardly wear like shorts - you don't necessarily want to go and buy a load of maternity ones for the two days of the year it is warm enough to wear them. I only ever used the smaller belt and I'm not sure that the larger one with the fabric would look anything other than odd but they were brilliant and I have since bought some for two friends that are pregnant. I also used them after I had had my baby when I couldn't quite do up the button on my jeans for a couple of months.

I thought this would be a great investment to enable me to wear work trousers and favourite jeans a lot longer into pregnancy, but in reality I found it so uncomfortable and fiddly. My bump is quite low, so it feels like there is nowhere for the belly belt to grip, and I couldn't really get a smooth outline under my top. The cloth inserts to cover the gap were pretty useless, to be honest. I only used the first size for about 4-6 weeks then decided to invest in a couple of pairs of maternity jeans and trousers when there were some good sales on instead.
