The Shower Hug
Tuesday, 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.
January 27, 2009 4:45 PM
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!
January 27, 2009 4:48 PM
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 (-:
January 27, 2009 5:20 PM
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!
January 27, 2009 5:20 PM
I am nursing twins now and would love to have this! How nice to not have to wear a bra at night!!
January 27, 2009 5:29 PM
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.
January 27, 2009 5:47 PM
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. :-)
January 27, 2009 6:28 PM
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! :)
January 27, 2009 6:35 PM
This is a wonderful idea.
January 27, 2009 6:37 PM
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.

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.

this looks like heaven- seriously this looks amazing
January 28, 2009 1:23 PM
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!!!
January 28, 2009 2:08 PM
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!
January 28, 2009 3:01 PM
I love that this can be used on the mid area after a C-section delivery. . . which I have had two of myself.

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

This product looks like a big helper during a breastfeeding process.
January 28, 2009 11:10 PM
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!

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"
January 29, 2009 8:19 PM
I really like that is helps a pregnant/nursing woman take comfortable showers. Keeping chemicals away from the baby is very important!

January 29, 2009 9:45 PM
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!
January 30, 2009 2:23 PM
This would be so nice. I remember screaming the first time the shower hit my nursing breasts. I love how thoughtful this product is.
January 30, 2009 2:54 PM
I've gotten engorged a few times these past ten weeks (have a ten week old) while BFing...this would help so much.

January 31, 2009 12:02 AM
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.
January 31, 2009 12:17 AM
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.

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.
