I think the C-Panty is a great idea. I had a c-section myself and it was hard because most panties waistband hit right at the incision mark. Great idea!
I love Belly Bandit. A great way to get the belly back to normal after the baby comes. They have a contest for that at YummyMummy too.
The Peanut Shell has such beautiful products. Stylish and trendy. I love them.
Thanks for the giveaway.....very nice.
Peanut Shell's gowns are pretty, which is such a nice thing in the midst of a sea of granny gowns, but to be perfectly honest, the price is high enough that I would never buy one for myself. I wonder if it would be possible for them to have a lower cost gown as well?
Thanks for the chance!
I also visited Belly Bandit and I love that the Bandit helps new Mommys to lose weight faster and minimize stretch marks. This would have been so helpful when I had my first baby a year ago!
I have to say this is THE perfect giveaway for someone like me that is expecting in the beginning of June!
Thanks:)
I went to belly bandit and I like that it wasn't swarming with pictures of models with perfect belly's. The idea that it helps with a mommy's health and llosing pounds is great
The Slings from The peanut Shell have beautiful fabrics.

Wish i heard about the Belly Bandit with my first pregnancy! At least i know now!
I loved the hospital gowns on the peanutshell.com. They have so many nice prints and look like a dress rather than a grandma gown. I lived in my robe in the hospital the 1st 2 days after delivery because of pain with my c-section scar. I wouldn't have a problem living in these gowns. Plus I like the easy access for breastfeeding.
Ok, so I think one of my favorite things though is the bellaband. This is such a great idea. I love that it can be used through the whole pregnancy and even after pregnancy. I know my biggest complaint with maternity pants is that they always slip down. This is such a great solution. Plus it would be nice to be able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans after delivery(nobody has to know i can't button them, right?).
Crista, you do make me sick!! If that belly bandit works like that, then how can you go wrong?
Oops sorry on my previous comment. My computer was acting up so I accidently posted the comment twice.
www.thepeanutshell.com, I like the feel of the site design and the adorable gown paterns. I love how they have a close up of some of the gown patterns.
www.bellybandit.com, another nice site. I especially like the history section here to explain the philosophies and research behind the process of belly binding.
www.cpanty.com, This looks like a great product. If I do end up having to have a c-section I think this is a must have for comfort and recovery.
Keep sharing these great products with us!
And after having already had one c-section, the C-panty seems like a brilliant idea - I would LOVE to reduce irritation and that weird little bulge! And they present the info on their website in a straightforward manner - no beating around the bush.
The hospital gown is nice, I think it would be nice if they designed it a little tighter on top so that you wouldn't have to wear a sleeping bra with it. I found that with blistered nipples it hurt to have something rubbing against them. And I needed to wear pads so I didn't have to wear a bra that would have been great.
I love the Time for Tea Nursing Cover. So pretty!
I love slings and the Champagne Brunch sling from Peanut Shell is gorgeous! Babywearing is great!!
Also? LOVE the maternity gowns from Peanut Shell! I brought my own sleep shirt when my son was born, but these are gorgeous! And much more practical for nursing, etc! My favorite is the Snap Dragon!
I looked at PeanutShell-love the graphics and the prints are really cute!
The Bellybandit site could be designed with a better look and maybe better colors-a bit washed out. But I liked their products and the Zebra band is adorable!
Great and useful giveaways!
I really like how the Belly Bandit website explains so much about the history of postpartum belly binding.
Peanut Shell - Love, love, love their fabrics. Gorgeous closeups of the patterns so you really see what you are getting! I used slings with both my kids and they are so good for baby and mom. One suggestion is to move "Product Info" so that it is under the Slings menu on the left. There is a ton of great information on that page but the name doesn't tell you it's just about slings.
Ingrid & Isabel....the belly band is wonderful.....I need one for Thanksgiving or other holiday meals, even when I am not pregnant! ;) And the ruched tank is sooo flattering.
BUT, the Peanut Shell 'DESIGNER HOSPITAL GOWN' is something every preggo woman should receive as a shower gift.
Anything in the giveaway that I can't use, I can give to my BF.
OUTSTANDING GIVEAWAY!!!
The Peanut Shell gowns are so cute. I love all of the prints, especially the Cherry Blossom print. I would love one of those for next time in the hospital! Such great products.
I also love the Ingrid & Isabel line. All of their products are functional, useful and yet stylish. Their site is simple and easy to navigate.
I like the everywhere pant from ingrid and isabel. Those type of pants are so comfortable when you're pregnant. I wish they were available for purchase online.
Belly Bandit: I know someone who had a bellybandit and she had very little problems with stretch marks and looked noticably better after 6 weeks post partum in the tummy area then any of my other friends did at that time. I would love to try one of these..they looked very well planned and researched.
At C-panty's site, it's neat how they have the testomonials and it will be even better when they have the before and after photos posted. I saw that they were coming soon.
I love the hospital gowns at Peanut Shall, especially the Sweet Pea Designer Hospital Gown. Cute and practical!

I also love the Peanut Shell hospital gowns. It's so hard to feel pretty in an ugly flimsy hospital issued gown. I think if I had a pretty gown to wear that it would boost my spirits, which is always a good thing after giving birth!!!

And the Bella Band is such a great idea! Looking at maternity clothes, I hate to spend a ton of money on pants I won't get a lot of wear out of, so anything to extend my current wardrobe is fabulous!!!
Once your baby arrives, your tummy could use a bit of support to return to its former glory. The Belly Bandit post-pregnancy tummy wrap can help!

Also visited Peanut Shell....Everything is so stinkin cute!!! Love the baby slings. I am ordering retro pink for my sister in law who is due in June!!
I love the nursing covers on thepeanutshell.com. They have such cute patterns. I also really liked the swaddle blankets. Again, I like the patterns. They need more blue though.
I like that Belly Bandit gives very detailed sizing information.
I love the concept of the hospital gown at Peanut Shell--I know I would have loved to have slipped into on of these for all those photo ops! I know a preggo friend who would love this!
the Belly Bandit is a great product! anything that can make me lose inches faster and improve my posture is for me.
Peanut Shell site---The hospital gowns are so sweet and a great shower gift. How about offering a matching layette/outfit for baby?!
Belly Bandit--Love the ecofriendly twist!!!
I love how The Peanut Shells mission is to to make sure the following years, months, weeks, hours and minutes, that you share with your child, will be the most exhilarating, rewarding, and yes, stylish moments, ever.
Very good mission!
The Belly Bandit: I think its great how they list the history behind belly binding and how different cultures have different traditions to this process. Interesting
Between these essentials and the c-panty, I'll be all set!
I have never owned a Bella Band but am noticing on their sizing scale that I am right in between sizes (8-10). I guess with added pounds of pregnancy I would size up!
As for Peanut Shell--I love how they include video instructions with how to wear their sling! The videos really demonstrate how easy it is to use!
The peanutshell has the prettiest fabrics and prints!!! I really like them a lot.
Belly Bandit is awesome, I have never heard of it. It is neat how they state "it is all worth it" having a baby--loose belly and all. I would try this product.
At Peanut Shell, I would love it if they expanded their line to include stroller blankets in their fab prints!
I love that the Belly Bandit helps you lose inches faster and reduces pressure on your back!
I love the fab Peanut Shell nursing wraps. I did notice they had some great sale prices on a number of items. Hope they keep that up! And like that you can buy online, super convenient, esp. with a baby it's hard to get out somedays!
I absolutely LOVE the Peanut Shell site! The hospital gowns are beautiful something I am going to recommend to all my pregnant friends and who knows it might even be my new "thing" to give at showers. You can count me in on having one with our next baby. They are so cute and stylish for all those hospital visitors. What a wonderful idea!!!
And I still want some of those c-panty's. Even if I don't need a c-section, for those ultra bloated post-pregnancy days...why not?
The belly bandits are great all around, but releasing the pressure on my back is one of the best features for me.
The peanut shell-has a modern, clean look to their online store. I would love to try one of their slings or nursing covers. great fabrics!
Bellybandit-catchy name, memorable. would like to try from the claims listed on the site. I swelled pretty badly with my first baby so I would like some help next time around
Cpanty.com-another clean and simple site. Lets the product speak. HOW awesome are these? I had a C section with my first and will have one again with the next baby. I wish I had heard of these!
As for the Belly Bandit--this looks like such a great product--the only thing I can think to improve upon it is to somehow make it machine washable! Right after my baby was born, I didn't really have time to hand wash anything.
Thanks for the contest.

Peanut shell gowns are beautiful.
I looked at PeanutShell-love the graphics and the prints are really cute!
The Bellybandit site could be designed with a better look and maybe better colors-a bit washed out. But I liked their products and the Zebra band is adorable!
Great and useful giveaways!
C. Panty website is great, love that you included a recovery section. Maybe a testimonials section would be helpful? (unless I just missed it)
i love the pants and just might have to get them aswell
i wish all this was available my las pregnancy
kayceewilliams at gmail dot com
For Peanut Shell, it would be cool to see a matching "hospital bag" to go with those pretty hospital gowns!
I am so impressed with the Ingrid & Isabel collection. I love how I will be able to be fashionable throughout my pregnancy...not to mention COMFORTABLE!!! Speaking of fashionable...how AWESOME are the hospital gowns at Peanut Shell?!?!?! The slings and nursing covers are really killer for my post-baby time!
I also enjoyed learning about the Belly Bandit. I have to admit...I am nervous about what'll happen to my body AFTER baby comes, and this seems like a great product to help me through.
Thanks for all the links. I've bookmarked 'em all :)
And Ingrid & Isabelle's Everywhere pant is exactly what I've been looking for since my Lululemon pants tore on one of the seams. I swear it was my old washing machine, not my expanding body due to pregnancy. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
The Peanut Shells gives great instruction about how to use their slings and also how they were made. 2 very important issues to me!
www.thepeanutshell.com : There site seemed to fit (design and layout) the products they were selling. I liked how the site showed the products being used in real life.
I would love to win this contest! Everything seems so wonderful! Thank you so much! :)
BellyBandit-The BellyBandit sounds like a dream for anyone who is trying to get back to halfway prepregnancy size. I like that is lists all the things it helps with.
Great contest.
C-Panty~~I really like their website. Their main page has everything I want to know (what the product is, easy access FAQ, testimonials, and easy order access). I wish I had a pair of these panties when I had my first child.
I looked at PeanutShell-love the graphics and the prints are really cute!
The Bellybandit site could be designed with a better look and maybe better colors-a bit washed out. But I liked their products and the Zebra band is adorable!
i have had a lot of problems viewing the Ingrid & Isabel’s site...but it sounds like they have some nice stuff.
I also love the swaddler from peanut shell. Way better than using a blanket!
