Mat jeans that stay up?

Has anyone found maternity jeans that don't slide down? I was hoping that now that I'm a little more round that they'd stay up but I still find myself pulling my pants up in the middle of the grocery isle! Sound familiar?

Re: Mat jeans that stay up?

  • I think it depends on the shape/size of your bump. I've found that I love my Gap maternity jeans and that they're infinitely more comfortable than the jeans I bought from Motherhood Maternity. The Gap jeans only slide down on me if I haven't washed them in awhile- other than that, they stay up great!

    Do they have the smaller band just around the top of the pant or the one that extends over the belly?

  • The ones I bought have a band that extends over the entire belly, but I believe they also make them with a band that just goes around the top of the pant.

    Initially, I was really opposed to getting the ones that went over the whole belly, but they're surprisingly comfortable and if I decide I don't like having it all the way up, you can always fold it down a bit too!

  • I have to use my Bella Band with all of my pants...ugh....

    But agree on the full panel over the belly!  SOOOO comfy and since it can be folded or just bunched it is convenient too...

  • I've found the "stretch" jeans from Motherhood Mat constantly fall down on me.  My other pants, skirts and shorts with MM's secret fit belly don't fall down at all.

    My ON/Gap's full panel and under belly pants and jeans all cut into my stomach and hurt, so I don't wear them often enough to know if those stretch out as well

    Yea that's what I thought at first! I got the ones that went over the belly cause that's all I could find and then my sister gave me her jeans with the small band and I actually like the other ones better that go over the belly! Luckily my walking shorts seem to stay on the best so I've been wearing those most of the time! I just don't want to buy new pants cause I already have one pair of jeans and my sister just gave me 2 more pair! Here's to looking like I'm picking my A$$ all the time! Indifferent

    Yup...Its not like they don't fit, I have the same problem with pants sliding down....My Bella Band reduced that problem ALOT!  I honestly need at least 2 more bands because they are amazing for support.  All the walking around campus makes me feel like my mat pants are around my knees if I don't pull them up without my band....It could be because I just got so used to the band though too....The band is tighter than my mat pants panel (only a bad thing after having eaten but then I just roll it down a bit for a time).

    My mat pants are soooo comfy but yah, I hate the feeling like I need to pull up my pants (even though I know they haven't fallen)...I rely on my band.

  • I am a Bella-band addict, too. I use it like a belt on my maternity pants. For some reason, I don't need it with any of my skirts. Sometimes, when I feel like I need more smoothing or support I'll wear it all the way up. Other times I just fold it down below my belly. I have white and black.

  • I have a short waist, so the Motherhood secret belly jeans work best for me.  One of my friends with a long waist prefers shorter, thicker bands.
