Some of our products were reviewed on the Coffe Group
website

Breastmates is a New Zealand owned and operated internet based
specialty store providing breastfeeding products that are essential
for Pregnant and New Mums. One of Breastmates product lines is HOTmilk lingerie for
pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Pregnancy and being a new mother are challenging times in a
mother's life and wearing plain lingerie certainly doesn't do
anything to lift her spirits. This is a time when, more than ever
before, she needs to feel special. HOTmilk has a philosophy about
empowering women, to remind them that they are beautiful, confident
and SEXY!
Frances from Breastmates sent me a HOTmilk Maternity Bra to
review - much to the delight of myself and my husband!
I have pretty much been pregnant or breastfeeding for the past 4
years and despite all the rewards that come with having a baby and
creating a family - the process sure does take its toll on your
body. Along with being tired, struggling to lose the baby weight,
and feeling more like a milking machine than a woman (at times!),
well it's no wonder that you don't feel overly sexy and good about
yourself. I have had the same old tired, stretched, black maternity
bras for 2 pregnancies and I didn't quite realise how bad they were
until I received my new HOTmilk bra.
I chose my bra off the Breastmates website and as they all
looked gorgeous and I couldn't decide which one to get - I let my
husband choose! (well what is the point of having sexy lingerie,
anyway..!) I followed the Bra Sizing
Guide on the website, which has a great video demonstration so
that you get it right and worked out my size and when it arrived it
was a perfect fit! (For the record, if you are breastfeeding - make
sure you measure when you are full ie before a feed!!)
We chose the "Silhouette of a Secret" style and it is a gorgeous
pink and black lace nursing bra with a black satin bow in the
middle with a small diamante flower. It is a very supportive bra
and gave me an immediate 'boost' despite not being underwire. I
feel like a new woman every time I wear it! It is great for
breastfeeding, with the dropdown cup and it is really comfortable.
I find some maternity bras irritate me with their seams but not
this one. I will be wearing this bra, long after I stop
breastfeeding - it's better than all my normal bras!
Frances from Breastmates is fantastic and will go the extra mile
for you with her customer service.
Feeling good about yourself is so important and it is all too
easy to lose yourself in motherhood. I highly recommend next time
you feel like a boost - treat yourself to a new HOTmilk bra (or
matching set!) and rediscover the sexy woman in you. After all,
your partner isn't going to complain about it!
