The Shower Hug
>> January 27, 2009
When I was opening the shower hug I was very impressed at the packaging. That was the first thing to catch my eye! It looked really nice, something I would see in a boutique. The shower hug is so soft to the touch, I couldn't wait to put it on. Later that evening I decided to try it out and wear it to bed. I took my nursing bra off(which was wonderful) and put it on. It was so comfy!! It felt so awesome to not wear a bra at night. I have been nursing my daughter for 7 months, and I am never bra-free. It didn't even stick to me when I leaked a little milk. I don't think I would've wore it when my daughter was a newborn because there would have been too much leakage.
The next morning I woke up and I wanted to wear it in the shower. That was a blessing. Oh how I wish I would have had this during pregnancy, or right after I had my little girl. Everyone knows how much the shower hurts your breasts during these times. And being a nursing mama I don't like to use alot of soap on my chest. This is the perfect thing! It protected my sensitive areas to enjoy a shower. It also became warm with the water and was very comforting, even relaxing!! I don't get engorged anymore, but I'm sure if I was this would be the answer!! I can't wait to have another bra-less night!!! Ahhh, sweet freedom!

What a great idea! Especially the wearing it at night thing. I hated wearing a bra 24-7 when I nursed last time and am dreading that again.
I learned that they use fabric from North Carolina!

I love that it can work for the tummy area too, espcially after a C section. I've seen these in the store and they look wonderful. Thank you!
Hey Kristan!
I'm Kristin! LOl Okay I'm pregnant and trust me my bb's hurt. I can only imagine how bad it will get. The shower hug seems so soothing.
This is AWESOME!! I wish I knew about this when I was pregnant or during the first weeks of nursing. I am 4 months into nursing now and would still love to have one!
This would have been a lifesaver when I was breastfeeding. What a great product! I love that you can wear it at night and not feel like you have a real bra on!

Wow I have never heard of this or even thought of the idea! It sounds great! I like the idea that it is also to help keep soap off the area in the shower. I always wondered how I can keep soap off there when shampoo is running down "everywhere". lol (-:
I love this! I wish I had one during my last pregnancy, and I also love that it can hold in hot or cold packs! This is ingenious! Thanks for the giveaway!
I am nursing twins now and would love to have this! How nice to not have to wear a bra at night!!
Wow, this is such a great idea! I love it. And it has so many purposes. Besides the ones you mentioned, I like how it can hold hot and cold packs. And it looks so comfy.
I remember how sensitive I was when I started nursing. I wish I had this then! I like the fact that it sheilds you from the pain of the shower water hitting you.
thanks

I'm 5 months pregnant, and I would love to have this for when I start nursing! Actually, it would've been helpful in my first trimester, too, when the shower hurt my poor tender boobies. :-)
I would love to win this for my granddaughter who is expecting her first baby. You know that grandmas always want the best for their grandkids! :)
This is a wonderful idea.
This is a fantastic idea!! I remember those days. My best friend is about to give birth and it would be a perfect gift. I learned that it could hold warm or cold compresses in place as well. I am going to bookmark their site as a resources for bfing moms. Thanks for the chance to win!!

I like that it can absorb nightime leaks so I don't have to wear a bra.
This seems like it would be so soothing! I'm definitely interested.

OH my gosh, I would LOVE this...great idea!
Gentle support without wearing a bra- what more could I want? I'm due with my first in four weeks and think this could really come in handy!

Wow, I love the idea of this. I'll be nursing my newborn next month and didn't look forward to those showers where it really hurts to have water contact.

I love how this product was made by Moms, for moms.
Great idea! Love that someone came up with something comfortable to wear at night and in the shower. rebecca6026@gmail.com
I have never heard of anything like this! My best friend is about to have a baby and I'm sure she would love this!
this looks like heaven- seriously this looks amazing
i like that it offers support without wearing a bra and can be used in the shower.
I'm having so much fun making friends and blog-hopping again this year.
Thanks for such a generous giveaway! I hope I'm chosen as the lucky winner!!!
I am pregnant with my second and remember dreading the shower right after I had him. I would have to shield my tatas so the stream of water would hurt me! I think this would help me out so much in the end stages of this pregnancy and when I first start breastfeeding with this baby!
Thanks so much for the chance!
I love that this can be used on the mid area after a C-section delivery. . . which I have had two of myself.

I really like that you can wear in at night, in the shower, or even around your stomach.

I like that it can be used after a c-section. I would love to give this to my friend. Thanks!
They buy fabric from North Carolina - and I love this idea, bras are SO constricting, I hate to wear them but thought that I had to during pregnancy!

The thought that this material would be so protective for engorged breasts from being directly sprayed with water.What a great idea. And to think that it is so soft that you could sleep in it..... Awesome
I follow
can wear to bed is nice
I am going to need this hug after I have my babies.I am never without a bra now and the hug can continue to provide support and protection in the shower.

I have heard such good things about this product, I would LOVE to try it!
I have heard such good things and really interested to see how it works! devlinm54@hotmail.com
What a great idea. I'm pregnant now and can only imagine how much pain this could save me when I'm nursing.
This product looks like a big helper during a breastfeeding process.
OH I wish I knew about this when I was pregnant and when I first started nursing! The worst part was when I was engorged and having to shower. It hurt so bad. This is such a smart idea!

This would be so great! My nursing bra digs into my sides at night and I could really use something like this!

They absorbnight time leaks. I would love to give this to my best friend who is due in April. Thanks :)

I like the belmama pendants!
The Shower Hug™ is made of the highest quality knit terry velour.
Count me in!
Thanks for the giveaway :)
This sounds like a great product. I'm pregnant and need to try something like this.
I like that it said, "Prevents nighttime leaks with or without the use of adhesive breastfeeding pads"
I really like that is helps a pregnant/nursing woman take comfortable showers. Keeping chemicals away from the baby is very important!
i follow, too!
Shower Hugs are proudly made in the USA by a network of dedicated moms. That's great! I'm 7 months pregnant and would love one of these. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow. Where was this right after I had my baby?? It sounds heavenly. And I know what you mean about always wearing a bra... Nursing can be rough! I learned that it's made of knit terry velour and you can buy it in some retail stores!

I am due in March and this product sounds wonderful. I remember how much the shower spray can sting and how wonderful a warm compress would have felt when I had mastitis the last time. This is a truly ingenious product that I feel addresses these issues and a number of others. I would love to be entered.

Love that the Shower Hug has four inches of velcro (I learned this from their website) so you can adjust it as you go. Thanks for the chance!
This would be so nice. I remember screaming the first time the shower hit my nursing breasts. I love how thoughtful this product is.
I've gotten engorged a few times these past ten weeks (have a ten week old) while BFing...this would help so much.
Great Product :)

I like that it is easy care and machine washable. I have NEVER heard of these before but would love to try them.

It absorbs night time leaks and can hold cold compresses. This would have been a godsend after I had my son!
I love that they are machine washable and offer gentle support and protection in the shower. Thanks so much for the giveaway!!
this looks great. i wish i had this after my c-section. i will definatly need one before i have #2
I love this product - I think it is such a great thing. Especially since i have to have c-sections, i would love to have one to wrap around that super sensitive area while i was showering.
I went to the site and read about how it can be used. That's great that you can use it after C-sections. My oldest daughter will be having her third C-section in March, and this would be a perfect gift for her. Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

this is pretty neat...i never saw these before
Love that it also acts as a warm compress ~
With #2 on the way, I'm trying not to think about wearing a nursing bra to bed again! This could be a lifesaver.

I love how it can be used on breasts or tummy. I wish I'd have had one of these with my last baby..
They use such sof fabric from North Carolina

The site says "great comfort and relief for those who are recovering from mastectomy, augmentation, reduction, reconstruction" I wish I'd known about this as I had double mastectomy and reconstruction 2 and 1/2 years ago and am still terribly uncomfortable.

I am due to have my first child (a boy) on March 1st. The shower hugs sounds like it would be so beneficial. My breasts are tender already, I can't imagine what it will be like after birth while I am breastfeeding...and the shower water hitting them...ouch! Please count me in and thanks for the contest!

I stumbled this contest. un: codicam
It can protect your incision from harsh shower sprays and chemical residues that can irritate sensitive and healing skin. Its great for pregnancy, post partum and breastfeeding - so pregnancy and beyond. I wonder if it would help with the pain of weaning.
Great for women who have larger breasts especially, like myself.

I read How To Wear it. It seems so easy to put it on. and It easy to wash!

Christina - xristya@rock.com - I've learned that the Shower Hug is also good for women who've had mastectomies or surgery.
i have had 5 csections and this would have been awesome i wish they had had it after my surgeries it looks like it provides much comfort :)
