Adjust-a-Button

in Family, Style

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.

    These are awesome! I must get some. I’ve lost a few pounds, but am not yet ready to go a size down in my jeans, annoyingly enough…

    These are ingenious! I had a few pairs of jeans that I was able to wear for most of my pregnancy but in those last few weeks I had to pull out the rubber band trick, these look so much better.

    Filing this away in my things to buy for the next time section of my brain.

    Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant. Those look so much nicer than the ol’ rubber band through the button hole trick.

    Hey there…Speaking of pregnancy adjustments…my friend Annie from college invented a clever way of keeping your drawers up if you’re using any kind of extension waistband-doohickey.

    I tried the Bella Band and found it did not work for me. I could have totally used this except by week 20 not only did my belly grow but so did my thighs. So, there was no choice but to go right into maternity pants at week 20.

    Seriously you aren’t going to make ANY friends showing a belly that looks like that at 19 weeks of pregnancy! Sheeeeeeeesh (yes, it’s pure jealousy talking)

    That button is perhaps one of the coolest things, um, EVER.

    And SQUEE! A GIRLIE!

    I can so see “Wee Hair Wednesday” focusing on the ultimate piggie tail styles. :P xo

    Okay, love the button thing. I just ordered one. I’m not pregnant…just hate showing the old butt cleavage in my too-low-rise jeans.

    Thanks for sharing!
