MY STORY
When I was pregnant with my first child, I was shocked to be faced with only an array of basic, old fashioned maternity lingerie. I was pregnant, but I wasn't ancient! After a lifetime of wearing beautiful lingerie, I wasn’t prepared to give it up and it did nothing for my self confidence as my body shape changed. So, we decided to launch our own fashion conscious maternity lingerie company. It's such a critical time in a woman's life, we are so hard on ourselves, I'm so proud that we have been able to add joy to mother's lives through the colours and styles of our lingerie.
What inspires me is knowing that we are helping so many new mothers regain their femininity and sensuality. Our team works so hard to do their best to ensure mothers feel heard. We believe intensely in our product and the fact that we are empowering women across the world, reminding them that they are beautiful, confident and sexy! Mothers making it work in whatever way they can are super inspirational, it really can be a really challenging time and every mother deserves a pat on the back for all that we do, whether you work or not, it's a lot to juggle.

You’ve got this!We 100% support breastfeeding. It’s such an amazing gift that we’ve been given and the benefits of breast-milk are undeniable for both you and your baby. However we also believe that women should be able to breastfeed for as long as they want, or not at all, without any judgement. Essentially it’s whatever works for you and your baby. Don’t forget you’ve grown a human, just do what works, don’t add additional pressure to yourself, you’re amazing as you are, with or without breastfeeding. |
