BellaBand for Expectant Moms

September 13, 2008 by Brenda

Here is a neat little item made especially for women in all stages of pregnancy. Made by Ingrid and Isabel, the BellaBand™ is basically a piece of fabric worn around the growing belly. As simple as it is in design, it actually serves several purposes. It keeps the tummy from popping out when wearing regular clothes that do not quite fit for an ever expanding stomach, it prevents underwear from being visible, it is a layering must-have for pregnant women, and it holds up pants and skirts that are slightly too big.

A comfortable fit with no seams, the tummy hugging band in light-weight, breathable spandex and nylon knit, is stretchy but does not constrict the stomach. It is worn both fashionably to be seen by others and discreetly underneath clothing to keep unbuttoned pants and skirts in place. It is also ideal for tops that are no longer long enough to cover the stomach. Lastly, it is perfect for smoothing out bunched up material from clothing that might be a little too big.

In plain knit or lace, the Winter 2008 colours are now available.

Ke’Koqueta Maternity Lingerie

January 18, 2008 by Kelly

Ke’Koqueta began as many maternity lines do – the founder, Diane Benko, was in the middle of a pregnancy when she couldn’t find exactly what she wanted. She could find maternity clothing she liked, but the selection of intimate apparel was severely lacking. So, she founded the maternity line Ke’Koqueta (which means “how coquettish or flirtatious”) to help pregnant women feel “sexy, stylish, and comfortable.” The line started distributing recently in Fall 2007 with babydolls, camis, pajamas, chemises, gowns, and slips. Check out these pictures from the latest collection:

The Fall/Winter ’08 collection will even be featuring a maternity thong with buckles on the side – so very pregnant women don’t have to go through the lopsided torture of trying to bend down to put their panties on! By the end of the month, the site will be updated with a new collection and easy access to online purchasing. We’ll let you know as soon as the updates are complete!

New 2007-2008 HOTmilk Range

December 15, 2007 by Kelly

HOTmilk, an enduring TLP favorite, now has a new range! The “Whisper Sweet Wickedness” black and cream lace bra and panty set is sexy and luxurious, but the real stars are the “Ruffle My Feathers” camisole and “Slip Into Seduction” nightie! Rare in the maternity lingerie world, the steamy microfibre camisole has shelf support and one-handed nursing clasps. The slinky nightie shares these features, and is a dream come true for new mothers who want to look fabulous in their slumber but still be able to nurse when their baby inevitably wakes them up crying for a midnight snack!

The range will be available very soon (mid-December) so this is a great last-minute Christmas present for the beloved new mom or mom-to-be in your life!
