Bao Bei Speed Bump Maternity Band Review

June 28, 2019

BaoBei Speed Bump Maternity Band Review

Disclaimer: This is an unsponsored, unaffiliated, honest review. I purchased the product on my own. I am reviewing it because I liked it and relied on reviews when making this purchase. Running during pregnancy has become more mainstream over the past decade or so. Female elites such as Alysia Montano raced with prominent bumps and baby bumps have graced the cover of Runner’s World. With more women running through their pregnancies, a niche emerged in the running gear market: maternity ...
