If you are scratching your head and wondering what a belly band might be, it's simply a really handy piece of clothing that goes under your regular t-shirts, so your belly does not inelegantly protrude! I think they're a very good idea, because I really don't like my belly hanging out. I know some people don't mind it at all, but it's not for me.

I recently wrote a bit of a Mamafeelsgood review, where I got to test out some of their clothing. Have a read if you want to know more.

(Offer ends 31st August 2010)

UK based maternity wear site Mamafeelsgood.com, gave me the opportunity to try out some of their maternity wear, as I have just had a baby girl, and I am perfect for product testing!

I received a plain breastfeeding top, short-sleeved, in pretty pink (pictured bottom left).

The first time I tried on the new top, I went off to the kitchen to grab my lunch. My other half had pain-stakingly heated up a can of Heinz tomato soup (my favourite!) and presented it to me with pride. With my very first spoonful, I slopped some of the reddest red soup down my brand pink new t-shirt! I had to take it off immediately, rinse the spots as best I could, and stick it in the wash.... to be tried out another day.

So, second time lucky - I put the top on, freshly laundered and smelling nice. The t-shirt had a nice feel on the skin, as it was 100% cotton. The material is thick and good quality. As it is really 2 t-shirts in one, it is quite heavy, so it would be very warm if you were wearing it on a hot summer's day.

For the breast-feeding aspect, you simply lift up the top layer, and the underneath layer is just like a vest top with huge arm holes, which you can move around to wherever you need them to be. It's pretty good at protecting your dignity - I won't show you any piccies of that though!

Now, I will comment on the sizes - I tried an XL, and I am about a size 16 for normal clothing. I did find the XL a bit tight around the belly (especially post-pregnancy), so maybe have a good look at the sizing if you happen to be buying from Mamafeelsgood.

I had a browse of the various designs on their site, some of which I have pictured below. They're very trendy, and not just your plain, bog-standard maternity wear. I really like the more "rock" type tees, like the Music Sounds Better , the Lips or the Island Black.

Price-wise, the top I tested came in at £19.99, which is fairly reasonable for a new maternity top. The long sleeve graphic print tops seem to be a few quid extra, ranging up to £21.99 instead.

After pregnancy and being pretty limited in what you can wear, it's quite nice to treat yourself to some new clothes - what I like about the Mamafeelsgood designs is that they could be work any time, and aren't just seen as maternity wear.
