[Under the bump Capris] "Good quality product. Comfortable to wear. Good support for your pregnant belly. Not many products available to purchase online. However, easy to use website and easy to order goods. No telephone is given and some people who don't have email access should be given the opportunity to call. The testimonials from current users are good as it gives people an understanding of who has used the product and what they think. The whole range of sporty clothing has been designed well. The trousers were not too long or clingy so easy to get on and off which is important when you are pregnant. This clothing range offers good designs and very practical for its intended use. Good quality material. Very comfortable and flattering. Emphasises the bump but feels supportive at all times especially when exercising. Very comfortable to wear and never caused any skin irritation. Machine washable so easy to maintain. £16.00 is a bit steep but it is a good quality item. There doesn't seem to be much of these items available on the market to purchase so it's hard to compare prices. Will certainly continue to wear these items as good quality, good fit and supportive. Have no hesitation in recommending to others. Very comfortable, good quality sporty outfit for pregnant women that want to keep fit."

[Racer back top] "Good quality product. Comfortable to wear. Good support for breasts, especially when exercising. Not many products available to purchase online. However, easy to use website and very easy to order goods. No telephone is given and some people who don't have email access should be given the opportunity to call. The testimonials from current users are good as it gives people an understanding of who has used the product and what they think. This top is a very good and well thought out design. The top was tight but this is required for good support. This clothing range offers good designs and very practical for intended use. Good quality material. Very comfortable and flattering. Emphasises the bump but feels supportive at all times and especially when exercising. Very comfortable to wear and never caused any skin irritation. Machine washable so easy to maintain. Personally I felt £20 was a bit steep for this top, but it is a good quality item and gives good support. I must admit there are not many clothing items designed especially for pregnant women who like to exercise so not many companies to compare too as these items are quite unique. Will certainly continue to wear this top as good quality, good fit and supportive. Have no hesitation in recommending to others.

[On the bump shorts] "Very Smart and looked very comfortable to wear for a work out. I think the products look wonderful, and website informative, easy to use and navigate. I was very impressed when this came and very good value for money. Design Smart and trendy, not like some maternity clothing. I could easily move around in the shorts and my bump didn't feel squashed. Brilliant quality as my bump is ever growing it fitted perfectly and there is enough stretch in it, but do feel the shorts could have been a bit more stretchy. Easy to wash, just popped in with my normal washing load. Very good value for money. Will definitely continue to wear. Will recommend to friends and family as it is so comfortable flattering leaves room to grow. A nice and comfortable way to make exercising more enjoyable and value for money!"

[Cross over top] "The product was really good quality thick material, and looked stylish with the white edging across the cross on the bust. The company's website is colourful and easy to use the pictures could be larger but overall a fantastic site. The design is really practical and comfy for both pre and post pregnancy, although the top could have been a longer length to cover the entire bump. I am very tall so I don't know if this is what made a difference. I love the material used and the white edging makes it stand out. The design is very practical and supports you very well. The cross over design helps reinforce the support for the bust which is fantastic. The material is thick and supportive but also soft to touch and has enough stretch for an ever expanding or shrinking bump. Very comfortable to wear during exercise although the top does ride up occasionally, I think this is down to the length, overall though really comfortable when exercising. The only irritation that is caused is when the top rides up. The item washes really well and is still like new after 3 washes; fabric is fantastic as it doesn't really need ironing so quite a low maintenance material. I definitely will continue to use this item. I will be recommending it to many of my pregnant friends as it is fantastic for both during and after pregnancy. Perfect for exercising during pregnancy and getting back into shape after pregnancy."

"I really enjoyed wearing this product, I thought the calf length leggings were so comfortable, and the v neck top was so flattering on my bump and boobs, it was such a great shape to wear. It was very refreshing to be able to wear items that are figure hugging but that dont pinch around the waist, now im reaching my third trimester clothes tend to pinch at my sides more and more, which can be so uncomfortable. The items were easy to wash and dry, i just literally put them in with the rest of my dark load and they washed well. The only down side i found was there was quite a lot of loose cotton on all of the items but this pulled out easily without leaving any damage, so overall not a big issue. The RRP for the items were £20 each... Im not sure I would buy all of the items for the amount of time you would use them but having said that they were so versitile, the tops especially could be worn with jogging bottoms or jeans and still look great,so I think they are well worth the RRP. All in all a great product, which i would recomend to any expectant mum."

"The sporty Bump range is extremely comfortable which is perfect for pregnancy. I find my skin is quite sensitive to labels etc so this was good. The styling was great - I'm a great fan on black, particularly, when pregnant. The detail was great also and still felt like you meant business (!) even though you're stamina is not quite the same when excersising during pregnancy. All round a great range."

Generation One magazine reader review, March 09 (www.generationone.co.uk)

"The sporty bump sportswear is an innovative product. It is versatile and offers a flair of style with the comfort of a stretchy high quality material. The idea of exercising no longer fills me with dread. I can now exercise with confidence and feel good about myself. Pre-natal or Post-natal, these products offer the flexibility to exercise and gives you 100% confidence in the under support to get fit with ease. The sporty bump logo is attractive and allows you to fit in with the class without the frumpy style of maternity wear. A highly recommended sport companion".

"I was asked to review four items from the current Sporty Bump collection and was only too happy to help!

"Just so you know, I am 20 weeks pregnant with twins, about 5'8 tall and am usually a size 14 when not carrying around an instant family! All the items I tried were size 'Large'.

"My first impression of the maternity sportswear was really good. They felt lovely and soft to the touch and had a quality feel about them which gave me great confidence that they would actually be suitable for what they are designed for!

"I received two tops and two bottoms and wasted no time in trying them out.

Racer Back Top - £20
"This was my favourite out of the two and is the one I am wearing in the photo. It was really comfortable to wear, nice and stretchy and the inner support bra meant I didn't need to have my maternity bra on. A real bonus! It fitted me relatively well but my only concern is that it may not fit me for much longer. I realise that I am much bigger at this stage than someone carrying a singleton but this should still be considered before buying. It was very comfortable across my bump, not at all tight and I felt really stylish wearing it. Much nicer than wearing an extra large t-shirt which makes me look like a very big sack of potatoes! For me personally I would have preferred it to have been slightly longer at the front so it didn't gape at the bottom quite so much but that's just me. I would be more than happy to wear it down the gym or as a casual top over leggings or jeans.

Cross-Over Top - £20
"This top is also great with all the same features are the Racer Back such as the inner support bra etc. It's probably slightly more versatile than the other one as it has a nice V neck line and could be dressed up quite easily. Personally I wasn't so keen on the V neck as even though my boobs have grown considerably from what they were they are still not that big and I felt like I needed a bigger bust to do the top justice!

Under the Bump Capris - £16
"These are lovely, really comfortable, soft and stretchy. They come to just below the knee and being black are nice and slimming on the legs. They are designed to be worn under the bump and the waist is very soft. Personally I would have liked them to have been over the bump but that's just my preference. When teamed with either of the tops the whole outfit looks really good and is perfect for trying to stay fit whilst pregnant and for getting your shape back afterwards. I also think that these capris are good value as they could easily be worn with everyday tops and look great!

On the Bump Shorts - £15
"These shorts are just as comfortable as the capris but they are designed to be worn on the bump. They are extremely soft and stretchy and I was quite happy to wear them across the middle of my bump without feeling uncomfortable. I would say that they look more like gym / sportswear then the capris and so would not really wear them as an everyday item. The fact that they stop just above the knee means I wouldn't wear them personally (I hate my knees!) but that shouldn't put anyone else off from buying them.

"My overall opinion of the Sporty Bump range was really good. It was good quality, soft, very comfortable and looked very stylish which can be quite hard to achieve with an ever expanding bump! For me I would just have liked the tops to be a little longer at the front."
