Baby Be Mine Maternity Belly Bands
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 08.26.08
Maternity garb might be considered the ultimate in disposable clothing. After all, they're not meant to last more than a few months.
Women who want to keep their pregnancy carbon footprints petite have a few options: Scrounge for hand-me-downs from their girlfriends, shop at consignment stores, or use belly bands, which are stretchy tubes of fabric that can extend the life of your "skinny" clothes and, more important, conceal unbuttoned pants.
If you're looking for belly bands cut from a more sustainable cloth, Baby Be Mine is one company that offers bands made from 100 percent bamboo. Naturally breathable and antibacterial, these maternity bands will help lengthen your pre-pregnancy tops while smooshing down open flies, so no one's the wiser. ::Baby Be Mine

What a great idea! I love it and want a few for myself as my belly grows. Thanks!
Or, rather than tie a band around your belly, you could tie your tubes, if you truly want to be environmentally responsible that is. :-/
Willy-
That's an option for people who aren't concerned about cancer- thank you. I don't know if I'll have children yet, but if I decide not to I will NOT be 'tying my tubes'. I do have some respect for my own body.
Oh my. Rosie doesn't quite get the gist of "tongue in cheek" humor/irony.
Too literal, much?
