My baby girl, Jordyn Mary, was born December 13, 2011. I was beyond thrilled. I can’t tell you how in love I am with
this little bundle. I had known
going in that I wanted to breastfeed.
I know it provides babies with the best nutrients. I especially realized
this when Jordyn had an eye infection and the doctor told me to put breast milk
in her eye. Whaaaat??? Cleared it up in a zip. It’s literally
gold.
Living in Southern California I was in a bathing suit most
of the year and the fact that my husband is a water-ski racer we end up
traveling a lot to different destinations where these races are held. Well in Feb, March of 2012 we travelled
to hot destinations and, of course, I was breastfeeding. Looking for nursing swimwear, was
absolutely frustrating. I always came to the same conclusion - small selection
of tankinis, one-pieces, ugly, out-dated and far from sexy, horrible designs
and no support or adjustability.
So I went back to my old string bikinis I had in my drawer and I
thought, this will work. I’ll just
slide the cup to the side and when done, I’ll slide it right back. Only problem
with this ladies…not only do the string bikinis offer no support for your
engorged breasts but if you are going to nurse in a semi-public or public
place, when you go to slide the cup back, the padding bunches and you have
bunched up boobs.
I remember one time I nursed while we were taking a boat
ride, so we were nowhere near a bathroom or room. When I finished nursing I was so embarrassed in front of my
husbands friends, that my bikini top was all bunched from the padding and I
couldn’t get it back into place w/o going to a bathroom and taking off to
re-adjust. I found it super
annoying. And of course, if you’re
breastfeeding, you know that you need the padding, in case there is some
leakage. So taking the pads out
was out of the question.
I was so in love with my nursing bras and thought, why
doesn’t anyone offer a hot, sexy bikini with the same ease and luxury my
nursing bra offers, with the clips.
Unclip; pull down and there you go, boob’s out and ready to go. And when done, just fold back up and
clip. Ta da.
So I decided to design my own maternity swimwear line. Something that women can use not only
just for nursing, but something throughout their whole pregnancy (that was
another thing that annoyed me…that some of the maternity bathing suits wouldn’t
be wearable after pregnancy or while nursing).
Bikini Mama’s designs are so hot and sexy, you can ‘t even
tell they’re maternity. You could
continue to wear them after breastfeeding. I’ve even had girlfriends (who aren’t pregnant or even close
to) buy my swimsuits because they offer so much support (especially for larger
breasts) that they push up their boobs to where they look like a really good
fake boob job. Who wouldn’t want
that, right?
Ladies, pregnancy and being a new mom, is a beautiful
thing. Why wouldn’t you show it
off and why not feel beautiful and sexy while doing it. My maternity swimsuits won’t only make
you feel sexy and beautiful, but they are super-supportive and easily
accessible to nurse your baby.
They are also adjustable in every sense to you can tighten or loosen
while your body grows (during pregnancy) and shrinks (after baby). I also offer the tankini option,
to cover your belly, with my wrap.
Because it’s adjustable (I understand if you’re not totally comfortable
showing off your ever growing belly) it can be used not only to cover your
bump, stretch marks or C-section scars, but you can also use the wrap as a
skirt (I gained weight in my thighs, so I love using the wrap as a skirt) but
you can also use it as a cover to nurse your baby.
Again I wanted women to get the most use out of my swimwear
line. I wanted them to feel sexy
but also wanted to provide something with exceptional support and convenience.
Rock it Moms.
Be Beautiful.
