I am 29 weeks pregnant now with a giant bump and got fed up with heaving my trousers up. I felt pretty miserable but as a 1980s refugee I recalled that I had some pairs of elastic braces (trouser suspenders) and I also bought some new ones . Midwives should give out free pairs!!! I had forgotten how ridiculously comfortable and enjoyable they are to wear !!! I have always liked them. I have been swayed by fashion in the past and have been ashamed of the secret affection I had for these accessories ,but not any more -they are a Godsend!!! I also heard that they are also supposed to be great for posture . I once read somewhere that women should not wear them as they had no physical reason to. I whole heartedly disagree, belts can chafe and braces hold ladies trousers up beautifully , in a more superior way and they feel more secure!!
Now I'm v. happy that I rediscovered them and am no longer ashamed to admit it!!!Gone is the misery of pulling up my trousers every 5 seconds it has been replaced by the joys of having my having my trousers staying put. My hubby finds me attractive in them , I absolutely love wearing them and I WILL be incorporating them into some of my outfits after I give birth !!!! * happily tugs on braces* :)
