This is a slightly unusual tip that I thought to share with you.
I wear a stretchy mini skirt around my middle underneath my clothes!
At the moment I am an 'apple' shape and due to a medical condition my belly is distended and I look pregnant. I liked the idea of wearing a 'body' under my clothes but they would need washing everyday like regular underwear. They are expensive too.
I found an old mini skirt in my wardrobe from my younger years and wondered if I could use it like a belly band. It's made from cotton with some elastane so it's a comfy fit.
I feel like it keeps in my tummy and keeps me warm under my clothes.
We had a heatwave not so long ago and I was fine wearing it then. Where I would normally perspire under my boobs I was kept dry.
Specially designed belly bands are expensive so I suggest buying a cheap mini skirt (charity shops are a good place to find them in the U.K.) Just try to find one that is the pull-on kind that's nice and stretchy.
I told you it was unusual!

PS: The photo I have enclosed is one designed for pregnant women but if that was a pull-on mini skirt you can get the basic idea.
