Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Pregnancy is a special time in a mom's life . . . Our pregnancy belly cast kit enables an expecting mom to create a lasting memory of her pregnancy in minutes that will be treasured for a lifetime. As one mom aptly put it, "It is a really cool way of capturing your pregnant body. You can show your child later that this is what mom looked like when you were inside!" No mixing of messy materials is required; it is as simple as 1-2-3! To make a belly cast, you simply cut the casting material into strips, dip them in water one at a time, apply them to mom's skin in overlapping layers, allow to dry for approximately 10 minutes and then gently remove. All you need to provide is a pair of scissors and a basin of water. Once made, a belly cast can be left as is for a simple, yet elegant look, or it can be decorated in any way imaginable. These pregnancy belly cast kits have been featured on the national TV talk shows "The View" and "LIVE with Regis & Kelly" as well as that fabulous pregnancy show on TLC "A Baby Story"! A belly cast is usually made 4-6 weeks before a mom's due date, but you could also make multiple belly casts to capture the miraculous changes in mom's body.

As the father that actually had to apply this to a pregnant wife, it went much better than I expected. It was pretty straightforward and went on quite well and quickly. I would recommend cutting into smaller strips to make it easier to apply.

While I cannot fully appreciate the beauty and joy of the belly cast my wife is absolutely thrilled and that's all that really matters to me at this point.

This review is from: Proudbody Pregnancy Belly Cast Kit (Baby Product)

i had casted a friend's belly once before. we used plaster from home depot and thin, soft gauze strips. it didn't work all that well and so i thought i'd give an actual belly cast kit a try. first of all, the fact that the plaster was in the strip rolls was so convenient! just had to dip in water and it was ready to go! didn't use the belly cream that came w/ it b/c altho it's not "organic" vaseline works much better. liked that it included a plastic drop cloth and gloves...that was great! and the rolls of gauze were so abundant! i have enough left over to make another cast!

the reason i gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that i think that the gauze should be a little stiffer. it's stiff when u cut it, but when u dip in water it becomes too limp and there is some work required to try to keep in flat and to keep it from rolling in on itself. i had a friend help me, she dipped the strips and flattened them out and i applied. if she hadn't helped, it would've taken me twice as long. as it was, it took about an hour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked well, October 17, 2007

I would definitely recommend doing this in a place that you don't mind making a mess. Using smaller pieces works better than big pieces. It helped that my husband is an artistic guy - he was able to make this turn out very nice. We'll probably go back and put some type of extra casting material or wiring in the back of the cast to give it more support (and hopefully it will last.) I was so happy that I did this the last week of my pregnancy (since baby didn't come early!)
