Maternity pants - How to keep them from falling down?!

Question

Ugh! So, I finally gave in at 11wks and switched to maternity pants, as none of my regular jeans were fitting anymore. Actually found some very comfortable and flattering boot cut jeans on sale at Motherhood Maternity for under $30. However, I CAN'T KEEP THEM UP!! [Insert obligatory sexual innuendo here] You obviously can't wear a belt, so how do you keep them from sagging/falling down, especially with stuff like a wallet or cellphone in the back pocket? (I don't usually like tight/skinny jeans, only bootcut/wideleg) Any help is appreciated!

Answer

Try wearing your regular jeans for a little longer use a rubber band looped through the buttonhole to give you extra room until your bump gets a little bigger to hold your maternity pants up

Answer

I had that problem and decided to start wearing belly bands with pants. It's more stuff to wrangle with during the frequent potty visits, but holds my pants in place!  I was constantly tugging at my pants all day. Doesn't help that I have a huge belly but have actually not gained/ lost weight (I'm 30 weeks). My favorite is the Bella Band by Ingrid and Isabel. It has some special rubber like bands at the bottom which really holds things in place!

Answer

I only have had that problem with one pair of maternity jeans and they were a size too big for me, didn't notice it until I wore them for a few hours and they kept slipping down! I went back and got the same pair a size smaller and haven't had that issue at all.

Answer

Get a size down :) i had an issue with this too but I shopped around a bit and was able to find a pair that weren't too skinny and form fitting, it may take some searching though because that is the style now. I liked the jessica simpson line at motherhood maternity

Answer

Wear them with a bellyband....

Answer

Im 28 weeks 2 days and mine try falling off to. I can't go a size smaller or wear my regular pants at all.

Answer

I wear a tight cami under my shirts and they help hold up the band. Whenever I forget to put one on my pants won't stay up!

Answer

Haaaaate maternity jeans. I'm 35 weeks with a big belly and they still suck. I just wear leggings

Answer

I really wish they had belt loops :) I agree with the tight cami.

Answer

I have to pull mine up pretty often. :( it's okay doing just regular stuff like going to work but omg I will never again clean the house in maternity jeans!!! I was about to lose it with how often I had to stop and pull my pants up!
