I've been asked a lot about the belly bands (e.g., Bella Bands, SassyBees, etc.). I have worn several different types of these bands pregnant and right after a baby (before I had my Modest Middles). I found the belly bands helpful for extending my maternity ware at the end of  my pregnancies. The only problem is I have found that they do "slip" like maternity pants do. Modest Middles work great to extend the length of the torso in the first two trimester, but I do prefer the bands in the third (the "u" in the Modest Middle showed an outline under my fitted shirts). Modest Middles nursing tank tops are the BEST after pregnancy! Free shipping on orders of 2 or more thru Jan!
