i was on zulily today, and i burst out laughing at a couple of images. one was just the most atrocious maternity jumper (i think if they made it in toddler sizes, it could have been cute!), the other was a picture for PumpEase- i know people love their handsfree pumping bras, but the picture made me choke on my drink!
have you come across any ridiculous maternity items?

Hmmm, perhaps the jumper is for teen moms? 
And that second photo is just horrendous. Audrey Hepburn is rolling over in her grave!

I am currently wearing a ridiculous maternity item. It looks like Spanx with the shorts and high waist, but it is maternity friendly and doesn't constrict. But, please, no one lift up my dress to look at this thing. It is not attractive. But, my legs are not rubbing together so I am happy.

@highwire: how do you pee? is there an opening or do you have to get out of them?
the first time i bought spanx, i was going to try on wedding dresses (the girl on the phone when i made the appointment said that's what most girls wore to try dresses on when i asked what to wear that day), you can only imagine my surprise when i discovered they had a crotch opening! so then i ended up putting pantyhose over them because i was not about to have some lady putting me in wedding dresses while i was wearing crotchless anything! =D

@highwire: What you wear under your clothes is your own business (also, that sounds sort of comfortable to me) :). Wearing a maternity denim overalls jumper, on the other hand...
I never understand why they would make maternity clothes that look like toddler clothes. You are GROWING a baby, not turning into one.

@mrs. bird: I pull them off to pee 
And yikes on the surprise crotchless Spanx! Mine always have a full crotch lol.

@Foodnerd81: Haha it is very comfortable! It feels good to have something gently supporting the belly.

@Foodnerd81: haha!
What's really awesome about the jumper is the length! You could wear that to OB appointments and not have to get undressed.

@highwire: they should make crotchless maternity ones! if anyone should have a fast & easy pee opening in their undergarments, it's pregnant women! someone actually told me that the maternity spanx really helped their back because it gave them just a little support lifting the belly, so i can see how that could be a good thing =) but no one should rock the crotchless undergarments with that jumper!

With how often I pee, a romper = a nightmare.

@mrs. bird: Haha they should! I've already had to peel these bad boys off three times today...

I was laughing at both of those, too! The Audrey Hepburn styling on the pumping bra is the best.

@mrs. bird: hahaha that second picture is ridiculous!! Let me just grab my sunglasses, faux tiara, & black satin gloves so I can pump!

@highwire: you should DIY! just cut 'em and then put some iron on tape stuff around the edges to keep it from going further! =D

That is exactly why I decided to get the handsfree breast pump, so that I was not forced to dress up like Audrey Hepburn and wear a hands-free bra. Pearls, sunglasses, & pumping just don't mix!!!

@MamaMoose: omg, I just read your comment and felt terrible...until I read the bottom line. LOL.
@mrs. bird: I literally just laughed so loud my husband asked, "are you going to make it over there?". spanx are crotchless?!?
@MrsH: LOL!
I just showed my husband the pictures, and in response to the second one, his eyes literally bugged like a cartoon and he goes "oh...that's different. that's...cool." until I told him I thought it was ridiculous lol...I think he thought I wanted it??
