For most people, realizing that you are expecting is always with mixed feeling. The bundle of joy is on the way but there certainly will be some costs associated with it. Knowing that you would be delivered of your baby in a hospital a few months from now is already a known cost and a waiting bill (hopefully it would not be too expensive), so you begin to plan and keep some money away. Then there is also the need for baby things, like clothes, socks, toiletries and much more. This is another added cost. At the same, your baby is growing and soon enough our baby bump would be big. And you realize you need maternity clothes. A new set of clothes which you would wear for only a few months, and then you no longer need them. For a new couple, all these may be too much, worse still if you have just finished paying for a wedding or perhaps, you planning one within this same period.

At Mothersbond, we meet and interact with a lot of moms and moms to be and it’s always the same concern, that money is never enough to meet all their needs. We know times are hard and money is scarce. We thought about how best to help cut cost from somewhere that would make everyone happy. And so we introduced the belly band. I would tell you a little more about it but first let us consider this. Your belly is growing every day and your trouser button can’t lock any more, you are so uncomfortable. Best idea would be to go shopping and buy a few maternity dresses or get a tailor to make some for you. If you are a working mom, then you would definitely need a few more especially those that fit well with your image as a professional.

Using a belly band, you can wear your same skirts, trousers and jeans all through. Just put on the band and pull it over the fly of your trousers or skirt and everything is concealed. Hidden neatly and decently. Now let’s do the math involved. You go to the shop and buy 3-5 maternity dresses for a start and you spend maybe 4,000-5000 naira each for the affordable ones. That’s about 20,000 naira, (maybe more, maybe less). But with one belly band or two, in different colors, you spend less than half of this amount. You not only look trendy and smart; you also get to save lots of money using Mothersbond belly bands and as soon as you are done with your baby, you can continue from where you stopped.

This cost saving element of the belly band is the main reason why it has been so successful with women who want options and who want to try something different. Suddenly you realize that you could actually focus your money on preparing for your childbearing hospital bill and baby things, instead of spending money on clothes you would need for only a very short period. The belly band is soft and fits like a body hug. It doesn’t interfere with your movement or with your using the rest room. It doesn’t affect your baby in anyway, it’s worth buying, I can assure you. It doesn’t roll up wards like a long camisole and stays just where you put it. The feedback from users who bought is has been so good; we are pleased to keep recommending it. It is available in black and white color options, but the black seems to be in more demand because you cant see through it and fits with most colors.
