    This would never work for me. I can only wear the maternity jeans with the elastic that covers my whole tummy and comes up under my breasts. Anything else just falls down.

    @helladesigner: My mom got them for me. The brand is Baby and Me but most of the searches I do on that are coming up with the Baby and Me boutique which doesn't sell the Baby and Me brand. The ones I have look like this [cgi.ebay.com] and I think "full panel" is the keyword there. Anything other than that I have to hitch up after I stand up and before I sit down and many many times in between.

    I know everyone's making big meal jokes, but I am seriously apple shaped. All the time. I would use this for every day. I've actually considered attempting it on my own.

    It does say that they'll restore them back to regular jeans after you've "regained your figure." However, it costs $60! So, unless you're a jean snob or can't find maternity jeans that look cute on you for under $60...this seems excessive!

    @jenilane: $60 is pretty darn reasonable for a pair of maternity jeans that you know you love. Finding a pair that fits and is comfy and still look good is shockingly hard. Plus maternity clothes are pricey.

    Does denim therapy do more modest alterations for, say, too-much-takeaway-tummy, or pre-menstrually-bloated-belly? If so, I may just wear jeans every day rather than just 25 ish days a month.

    While pregnant, a friend of mine bought an elastic band thingy for her regular pants and jeans. She didnt have to buy any maternity pants because of it. I dont remember the name of the product, but that might be helpful for the pregnant jezzies out there.

    @BlissfullyUnaware: The Bella band was great for early pregnancy for me. I had to switch to maternity clothes later on though it just wasn't comfy to have an elastic band around my waist. I had to pee enough as it was.

    I don't know about y'all, but I didn't want to wear jeans when I was preggers. All that zipping and unbuttoning to go to the bathroom was way too much of a chore. Dresses, big shirts and leggings, FTW.

    I'm thinking these will actually come in handy during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season. And they're so much more stylish than my usual sweatpants/flannels.

    Uh, Sadie - the article says: "Moms can hang onto their favorite staple fashion items throughout their pregnancy, and then send the jeans back post baby so they are altered back to accommodate a body sans baby!"

    It would be fairly easy to take back to normal if the denim wasn't cut out.

    The picture with the headphones reminded me of the Kool-Aid man, and the fact that my sister wanted to go as him for Halloween when she was pregnant. But she is lazy and didn't do it. It would have been classic.
