Let's Talk Why Renting During Pregnancy Just Makes Sense
Dressing through pregnancy isn’t just a style challenge — it can feel like a full-time job you’re trying to crack at 4am, half-asleep, scrolling in a panic, or stood in a changing room wondering what size you even are.
The truth? Buying a whole new wardrobe for a body that changes every few weeks is hard to justify — financially, emotionally, and environmentally.
That’s where renting clothes during pregnancy comes in.
Whether it’s bloating in the first trimester, a baby shower in the second, or finding something to wear to work when nothing fits — renting gives you options, without the waste.
Over 7,000 mums have already tried it with For The Creators. This guide walks you through when to rent, what to rent, and how to build a wardrobe that works for right now.

Commitment: Less than your phone bill. It’s a monthly rolling plan — cancel anytime, no strings.
Bonus: love your rentals too much to return? Enjoy 20% off our gently rented prices.
10-day rentals

Enjoy: one item that you wear, love, selfie and then return.
Commitment: zero. One rental fee - no hidden cleaning or postage costs.
Bonus: great as a gift (hint hint).
How to Build a Rotating Maternity Wardrobe with Rentals
We’ve put together a simple styling formula to help your wardrobe feel fresh, functional, and still like you. It’s all about mixing and rotating between three key pillars: foundation pieces, joy-sparking items, and ready-made outfits.
1. Foundation Items
Start with a solid base. Renting 1-2 great foundations makes outfit-building simple — and comfy. Think maternity jeans, dungarees, oversized shirts, and a reliable all-black go-to that does it all.
2. Rent One Joy-Sparking Item
When everything feels a bit flat, pulling on at item that really sparks joy will help you deal with pregnancy hormones. Bold prints, bright colours and or luxe loungewear (Desmond & Dempsey we're looking at you) are great ways to bring some happiness into dressing again.
3. One-and-done outfits
When pairing things up just feels like too much work, and your bump has given traditional waistbands the err, bump, rent a dress or a maternity jumpsuit to do literally all the work for you. We are the biggest fans of one and done looks - being lazy never looked so good.
From One Mother to Another: Why I Rented Maternity Clothes
‘Refreshing my wardrobe via rentals helped me feel more myself in this moment – not an awkward version of an old me, or someone in sartorial crisis (which admittedly I was, at times),' shared Bridget March, Mum of thee and Beauty Director at Harper’s Bazaar UK.
‘I rented clothes when I was postpartum — not only convenient, but genuinely helped my mental health,' shared mum Jenny Davis.

‘I wish I’d known about For The Creators during my first pregnancy, it’s been a total godsend during my second!...Highly recommend for any mums to be who are fed up of frumpy fast fashion options,' shared mum Lucy Brennan.
Got Questions? We've Got Answers
What size should I rent while pregnant?
For maternity-specific items you should rent the size you are, while if it’s a non maternity outfit being used as such, you may need to size up. If you order an item that doesn't fit, simply get in touch with the team and we'll get you a new rental that does thanks to our free swaps policy. Email orders@fothecreators.co
What happens if something doesn’t fit?
Just let us know - we offer free size swaps on all rentals, no fuss.
Can I rent if I’m nearing my due date?
Renting isn’t just for maternity wear, you can rent at any point during your pregnancy, and beyond. Many mums find us postpartum and stay with us through motherhood.
Do I have to wash my rental(s) before returning?
No, no. That's what we're hear for. We take care of the cleaning for you.
Can I cancel my membership?
Absolutely. We get that life happens. During these times, simply get in touch (orders@forthecreators.co) and we'll support you in cancelling your membership.
Pregnancy isn’t one-size-fits-all and your wardrobe shouldn't have to be either. Explore our maternity rental collection now and try our membership from just £30/month.
