BumpEase Maternity Belly Band

Most people start reaching for a band somewhere around 20 to 24 weeks, when the weight of the bump starts pulling forward. This one is cut to sit flat under clothes so you can wear it to work without anyone knowing.

Why it works

Lifts and redistributes. A contoured under-bump panel carries some of the bump’s weight across your hips instead of letting it hang forward off your lower back.
Flexible back stays. Thin supports through the back keep the band from rolling or folding when you sit down.
Perforated lining. Ventilation holes through the panel, because you are already warmer than usual.
Cut for movement. Grooves at the thigh mean it does not dig in when you walk or sit for long stretches.
Adjustable as you grow. The closure has real range, so one size lasts across a trimester rather than weeks.

Materials & care

Nylon and spandex with a perforated inner lining
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle, fasteners closed so they don’t snag
Lay flat to dry

Finding your size

Size on your pre-pregnancy dress size, not your current bump. The panel is built to expand. If you are between sizes, size down for firmer support or up for more room later on.

Size	Pre-pregnancy US dress size
M	2 - 6
L	8 - 12
XL	14 - 16
2XL	18 - 22

How to wear it

Sit down to put it on, position the wide panel under the bump rather than over it, then fasten. It should feel like a lift, never like compression. Most people wear it for a few hours at a time rather than all day.

Common questions

When should I start wearing it?
Whenever the bump starts feeling heavy, commonly around 20-24 weeks, but there is no rule.

Will it show under clothes?
It is flat-seamed and low profile. Under anything but very thin fabric it is invisible.

Can I wear it after birth?
This one is shaped for a bump. For after, the Ergowrap Postpartum Belly Wrap is cut for a post-birth torso instead.

Is it safe to wear while pregnant?
It is designed to support from underneath rather than compress the bump, and it should never feel tight. If it does, loosen it or take it off. We are not able to give medical advice, so if you have any concerns, or a high-risk pregnancy, check with your doctor or midwife before wearing it.

Questions we get a lot

Take the larger one. Almost everything here is worn on a body that is still changing, and a garment with a little room stays wearable for months longer than one that fits perfectly today. Where a product has a measurement table, use it. Where it doesn't, it is because we don't have numbers from the maker that we can stand behind, and we would rather say so than publish a table we invented.

Size exchanges are free, so the first guess doesn't have to be the right one. If you would rather ask first, email support@dearmother.co and tell us what you usually wear.

Orders are packed in 1-2 business days and typically arrive 3-7 business days after that, so most orders land inside a fortnight of ordering and often sooner. Shipping in the US is free over $50.

If you are ordering for a due date, order earlier than feels necessary. Babies are famously bad at reading calendars, and a belly band that arrives after the birth helps nobody.

You have 30 days to return anything unworn, with the tags on. Size exchanges are free: you don't pay to swap a size you guessed wrong.

If something arrives damaged or is not what the page described, email support@dearmother.co and we will sort it out. Tell us what happened rather than what you think we want to hear, and it will be faster for both of us.

Roughly by stage. Belly bands and pregnancy pillows are for the months before. Nursing and pumping bras, belly wraps and breast pads are for after. High-waist briefs and a nursing bra are the two things people tend to use on both sides of the birth.

Every product page has a "Who it is not for" section or an equivalent, and they mean it. If two products look like they overlap, the page for each says which job the other one does better.

We are not able to give medical advice, and we are not going to pretend otherwise on a product page. Support garments should feel like support, never like compression, and nothing here should hurt. If it does, take it off.

After a caesarean, wait until your doctor or midwife has cleared you for abdominal support before wearing a wrap or a band, and stop if anything pulls at the incision. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or any complication, ask them first. They know your situation and a website does not.

Because we have not sold anything yet, and inventing reviews is fraud. When real customers have bought these products and told us what they think, their reviews will appear here. Until then the space stays empty rather than being filled with something we made up.
