What better way to kick off Bellytastic than with the Belly Belt? This ingenious device, which I found in Mothercare, allows you to continue wearing your normal clothes by adjusting to your expanding waistline. It consists of four sections of elasticated waist band (two with buttons and two with clips), which are threaded through a panel of white, blue or black material. You hook up the belt to either side of your normal trousers and tuck the panel in behind the open zip area and hey presto!
It's a great idea for pregnant ladies who have a wardrobe full of decent clothes and dread going into the style-bypass wasteland of maternity wear. However I can't help but think that The Belly Belt has missed an even larger market: fat people who insist on wearing their trousers two sizes too small. Well okay, maybe that's a bit harsh, but what about after Christmas dinner when you immediately loosen off your belt to make more breathing space? There are times when even the most saintly of us could use a Belly Belt!
Thanks for your post Rachael, and for your support of Bellybelt!
