Calling all pregnant ladies! (OR ladies and gents who might have over-indulged during the holiday season.)
Are your jeans feeling a little snug around the waistline? Do you feel like your stomach might explode when you sit down? Um, yeah. I might have that problem right now. Never fear! For I have found the answer. Adjust-a-Button.
This little adjustable button has allowed me to stay in my regular jeans up to my 19th week of pregnancy so far, and for that I am eternally grateful. Since I’m not quite big enough for maternity jeans and my belly does NOT enjoy Bella Bands (ouuuuch), I thought I was out of luck until I heard about these guys.
It’s really as easy as sticking a pin into your jeans, and the button is removable so you can use it in all of your pants. I can’t TELL YOU how much more comfortable the past few weeks have been with these buttons….well, how about I just show you.
Before:
Uhhh, getting a little tight. Sitting down is not the most pleasurable of actions at this point, and I’m beginning to feel a little concerned for the safety of my fetus. Oh noes!
After:
Dude, RELIEF. That is all.
Oh! You can also use these buttons to tighten a waistband if your pants are too loose. (Although, if that’s the case, you KIND OF SUCK.)
$18 for a pack of two. Buy ’em here. They’ll make your tummy a happy place again.

Of course, this product works on the theory that one’s thighs and can don’t expand beyond kingdom come–that it’s merely the waistline growing bigger.

January 25, 2010 at 7:54 amUmmm…. is that seriously YOUR belly? At 19 weeks of pregnancy? My unpregnant belly doesn’t look that good!

January 25, 2010 at 8:28 amOMG this may be my savior! I’m in an awkward “half-size” right now… one size is too small, the next is too big… it’s a bugger to buy clothes and this will be a godsend!

January 25, 2010 at 8:37 amI’ve seen these before. Although I was so big during my pregnancies that I don’t think an extra button would have helped. They might be now, though.

Do I still kinda suck if I need to tighten my size 18 (!) jeans? I don’t think so.

January 25, 2010 at 12:19 pmWow Sarah, that is the cutest baby bump ever….thanks for the great review and I am so glad that you liked the Adjust-A-Button. It’s a great way to get a perfect fit when in-between sizes like that, and hope you enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. Looking forward to checking out your updates on Whoorl! :)

January 25, 2010 at 1:37 pmI never knew about these! I always used the ponytail-holder-around the button trick. This looks much cooler.
