Bamboobies - Washable, reusable breast pads - BumbleWee Nursing Wear

Bamboobies – Washable & Reusable Breast Pads

Bamboobies - Washable, Reusable Breast Pads - BumbleWee Nursing WearBamboobies - Washable, reusable breast pads - BumbleWee Nursing WearWhat are Bamboobies?

Bamboobies are the Hottest Thing This Summer!

Bamboobies are washable, reusable breast pads for the nursing mother.  Bamboobies breast pads are better than disposable breast pads for so many reasons.

  • Bamboobies are very thin and don’t show through clothing.
  • Bamboobies are don’t leak and are very absorbent.
  • Bamboobies are incredibly soft on your boobies (perfect for new nursing mothers who have sore nipples).
  • Bamboobies are not cold when wet.
  • Bamboobies are organic – made with bamboo and organic cotton and  hemp.

Bamboobies are Cute

Bamboobies are cute, heart shaped & soft.Best of all, bamboobies are cute.  I bet your icky sticky disposable pad can’t say that!  Bamboobies are heart shaped, soft & sexy to the touch, and available in a variety of pretty colours.

 

 

Bamboobies Overnight

Bamboobies Overnight - superior leak protection when you need it most.Bamboobies overnight breast pads have superior leak protection when you need it most – at night.  Or even during the day when you have heavy leakage.

 

 

Bamboobies Leak Protection

Bamboobies leak proof layersBamboobies won’t leak through your clothing.  They are made up of 3 separate layers to be soft against your breast, lock away moisture in the middle, and have a leak proof backing.

Hemp fabric makes up the inner lining of each bamboobies pad.  Hemp is highly absorbant (up to 4 times more absorbant than cotton) and does not get cold when wet.

 

 

Bamboobies are Economical

If you were to purchase disposable pads for 9 months, using 2 pairs per night and day, you would rack up approx. $359!!  And think about how much waste you are adding to the landfills?  With Bamboobies you purchase them one time, no waste, and the reusable bamboobies multipack only costs $29.

Bamboobies are Organic

Bamboobies are made with bamboo and organic cotton and hemp.

Bamboo is a very earth conscious fabric – it is sustainable since it is fast growing and does not usualy require chemical pesticides to make a successful crop.  As an added bonus – bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial, breathable and is silky soft against the skin.

Hemp is also an organic fabric.  Hemp does not deplete the soil to the extent that other crops can, it requires little water and does not require pesticides to grow successfully.

How many Bamboobies

Wondering how many bamboobies you need?

A good guideline would be 2 sets for the day and 1 or 2 sets for the night. 

Of course this depends on how much you leak and how often you desire to change them.  Another thing to consider is how often you plan to do laundry.  If you can wash them every day then 1 bamboobies multipack might be good for you, if you wash less frequently then you may want to consider purchasing more than one pack so you can do laundry less often and still have clean bamboobies to change into.

BellyBandit_Size

Belly Bandit Sizing

You’ll want to wear your Belly Bandit as soon after your baby is born as possible.  That being said, you should get your first Belly Bandit before your baby is born so you have it ready when you need it.  But… how do you know what size your belly will be after your baby is born?

Sizing Tips

  1. Early in your pregnancy: Your belly will likely grow between 1-2 belly bandit sizes from your pre-pregnancy belly size.
  2. Late in your pregnancy – Your belly will likely be the same size post-pregnancy as it was in your 8th month of pregnancy.
  3. Just prior to delivery – if you are just about to give birth then measure your belly and subtract 3-5 inches to get your belly bandit size.

Measure the largest part of your belly, usually around the belly button.

  1. There is no guaranteed way to estimate the size of your post-pregnancy belly, the above are just guidelines since every women is different.
  2. You will likely need to buy a second belly bandit as your tummy shrinks out of your first one.Buy Now - Belly Bandit - Store Canada - BumbleWee Nursing Wear

Between Sizes

If you are between size you should pick the larger one, if you choose one that is too small then you will not be able to do it up and get the process started.

A better option is to buy 2 belly bandits since you will likely be needing a 2nd one once your belly shrinks out of your first one.  If it turns out you ordered wrong size then you can always exchange it with us so long as it is unworn/unused.  See our refund/exchange policy.

How Belly Bandit Works

The stomach, waist and hips have expanded due to pregnancy, this expanding process is assisted by a hormone called relaxin.  Relaxin remains in your body for up to 8 weeks after pregnancy to help your body shrink back to it’s original shape.  Belly Bandit works by applying a contant medical grade compression to the abdomen and hips which works in conjunction with relaxin to return your body to it’s pre-pregnancy size.

Benefits of Belly Bandit

  • Helps return your abdomen and hips to their original size.
  • Supports your back, adbomen and hips until your body regains it’s strength
  • Reminds you to use your core muscles
