Discreet Tummy Sleeve by Motherhood Maternity
For me, the Tummy Sleeve by Motherhood Maternity has been a convenient solution to my early pregnancy fashion woes. I’m not showing yet and therefore am still too small for maternity clothes yet I can no longer button my jeans! What’s a girl to do? Enter the Tummy Sleeve. It’s like a tube top for your belly.
Made out of a seamless nylon/spandex blend, it serves to discreetly cover up (and hold up) your unbuttoned pants. I wear it over my pre-pregnancy jeans and under a non-maternity top or tee; most of the time my shirt covers the Tummy Sleeve , but if my top is shorter, then I happily sport the layered look (it looks just like a tank top or camisole poking out under my hem).
Early in pregnancy, it’s meant to be worn folded over in half; later as your belly grows, you can wear it as a single layer. My girlfriends also sing the Tummy Sleeve’s praises for post-partum wear. My only complaint is that it sometimes rides up in the back, so I have to tug it down. It’s a small price to pay, however, for being able to wear my pre-pregnancy clothes a little longer.
At $16.98, the Tummy Sleeve by Motherhood Maternity is almost $10 cheaper than its name-brand competitor. It’s available in three colors (black, white, and nude) at motherhood.com .
How did women survive this invention? As a mom of three, what a waste of money? i never needed such a garmet.
