When I was pregnant with both of my children, I remember people telling me that I glowed. I truly believe that is because I was so happy to be pregnant, (despite the fact that I had some difficulties during both pregnancies) because I didn’t feel beautiful at all. I mostly felt big and awkward.
Four weeks ago, our baby girl was born…healthy and beautiful and perfect. And I think that I’m enjoying my postpartum body even less than my pregnant one. At least when I was pregnant, I had an excuse for the belly and weight gain. I vowed before I got married not to “let myself go.” If you’re pregnant or nursing, there are many things you can do to look and feel beautiful, especially in front of your significant other.
HOTmilk offers gorgeous pregnancy lingerie and nursing bras. When I first saw their collection in person, I had a difficult time believing that the line was created for pregnant and nursing women. Because apart from the extra fabric in the torso and the nursing straps, you’d never know that the line was designed for this particular population. HOTmilk originated in New Zealand three years ago and was started by two young moms who’s goal was to empower women to regain their femininity and sensuality. The company specializes in elegant designs and utilizes the best technology and highest quality laces and details in their collection.
As a woman, I believe that it’s important to feel good about myself…and that includes how I look. Having a baby is truly the ultimate expression of womanhood. It IS a beautiful time in a woman’s life, and she should look and feel beautiful. Since this is the second time I’ve done pregnancy and nursing, I’ve had quite a bit of experience shopping for this time in my life. And I have to admit that when it comes to beauty and fashion, there aren’t a ton of options. Nursing bras, in particular, are at best plain.
HOTmilk is definitely a bold maternity and nursing line. But I am highly impressed with both the quality and designs offered. And I’d wear most of the pieces offered in their collection because they’re beautiful and tasteful. In fact, I’ve been sleeping in the Delighted With Her Victory Nursing Nightwear set. The set is very cozy and made from 100% cotton. It’s fashionable, comfortable, and functional. I really like some of the subtle details like the slight flare the pants have at the bottom and the silk accents (around the ankles and the drawstring on the pants). The top could be worn both during and after pregnancy since it’s gathered and roomy and has an A-frame shelf for support.
I also received the She Blushes In Delight Lingerie Set. Stunning…gorgeous…feminine… Those are just a few words describing this lovely Lingerie Set. The set is comprised of quality laces and fabrics and even includes rose details. The bra is very supportive (and features an A-frame support and a strong power elastane back), particularly for full-busted women. The shoulder straps are wide enough to compliment the support the bra provides. The back adjuster includes six rows of triple eyes to allow for both expansion during pregnancy and slimming afterward. The color and detail are lovely, but the style ensures that the set is functional.
During and after pregnancy, a supportive, well-fitting bra is crucial. I used to think that meant the bra had to be large and bulky. My experience with HOTmilk has proved otherwise. Their collection features fresh prints, reminiscent of European styling. Comfort, ease, and support are all factors that were considered with regards to their bras. The entire line is free from underwires and each features a one-handed maternity clip. Bras are available in sizes 30A to 42 G and bottoms, in sizes S-XXL.

It’s not the stuff they had when I had my son that’s for sure;}
It is beautiful and functional! (we love that)
So pleased that HOTmilk bras have worked for you. They do fit really well. However, they won’t suit everyone – either in size, or in style. Such a shame that HOTmilk have decided not to continue making the 30 band bras on the next season’s styles as there isn’t a lot for this size of lady.
Enjoy your time with little one!
My heavens! Bras that would fit me!!!!
