7 Maternity-Friendly Clothing Rental Services So You Aren’t Buying New Stuff Every Week
Pregnant? You need to rent your clothes.
When you’re pregnant, you focus most of your energy on preparing for your baby — but you also go through changes that require attention. For one thing, your body is constantly transforming, which means swapping out tight jeans for stretchy leggings and rigid blouses for tummy-accommodating tops. Bringing a baby into the world is expensive, though, so why spend your cash on clothes that may not fit in a few weeks or that you won’t reach for postpartum? Enter: clothing rental services.
If you’ve never rented clothes before, you may be surprised by just how easy it is! With most rental brands, you pay a monthly subscription fee and pick out several clothing items to wear for about a month. The clothes come to you already washed, and when you send them back, the brand takes care of cleaning them for the next customer. In other words, no extra laundry on your end.
Here’s the best part: All of the clothing sites below offer maternity-friendly clothing, so you can choose clothes that fit you, wherever you are in your pregnancy journey. Have a special event coming up that you need a dress for? Rent it! Want a few more comfortable tops in your rotation? Borrow them! Get ready because your closet is about to get an upgrade—at a much more affordable price than if you were to hit the mall every time you want a wardrobe refresh.
1. Nuuly
For $98 per month, Nuuly lets you select six clothing items from brands like Free People and Anthropologie to keep for four weeks. In addition to its maternity section, Nuuly carries women’s sizes 00 to 18, so you can maintain your subscription postpartum and keep the fashion fun going. Once you’ve worn your picks for four weeks, you can ship the unlaundered clothing back in its original bag using the included shipping label.
2. FashionPass
With FashionPass, you get your pick of three plans: “Socialite” gets you two clothing items and one accessory or basic for $89 per month; “Trendsetter” offers three clothing items and two accessories or basics for $119 per month; and “Wanderlust” means four clothing items and three accessories or basics for $149 per month. The rental site, which has a maternity-friendly section, carries popular brands like Show Me Your Mumu and Khloe Kardashian’s Good American. You can switch your items as often as you like, ordering more once you drop your unwashed clothing and accessories off at FedEx.
