Oh, the humanity. Thanks to our Amazon.coms baby registry, I received an unsolicited e-mail from David Lerner Maternity. Cute kid clothes and sick curiosity led me to click (before unceremoniously unsubscribing ). And I found this:
Zippered Maternity Leggings, with pregnancy panel. Oh, the humanity.
I love how they list the model’s waist size as 25″. (without an asterisk telling you it was her pre-pregnancy size) I’m sorry, what was she before she was pregnant? I don’t even have a waist anymore, and my band-size has grown an entire 4″, thank you very much. I can’t imagine what pregnant woman thinks a) she’ll look like that if she puts these on, b) she’ll match those measurements any time in her post-partum life, or c) she’ll actually be able to pull on the leggings, let alone bend down to her ankles to close the calf zippers.
I can barely get my legs in the openings in my underwear, and my shoes are slip-on only, thank you. It would take a tow winch, some grease, and several immodest assistants for me to be able to get into an Olivia Newton John (with child)-style pair of leggings like those.

How about Thai fisherman pants? The wrap waist would surely work for any size of pregnant belly, plus they’re apparently simple to make!
