"Bamboobies were born out of my frustration with wrinkly, hot plastic disposables and thick, rough cotton washable pads that showed through my shirt and still leaked!" says Kerry Gilmartin, creator of Bamboobies.
After having her third child this year, Kerry discovered the healing powers of hot and cold therapy for the early days of nursing and engorgement, as well as for pumping and weaning. "Nursing is tough on new mothers' bodies – even if it's your third baby! Warm and cold therapy pads helped me survive mastitis, helped with letdown when used with my breast pump, and soothed my chafed nipples during the first weeks with my new baby," says Kerry. Bamboob-ease™ marries the amazing softness of bamboo with the temperature-stable powers of flax seeds to 'ease' the pains of breastfeeding.
Going 'beyond organic,' the company uses sustainable fabrics and advocates for fair labor practices by hiring local seamstresses in Colorado. Bamboobies products are sold in almost 200 stores worldwide and online. They are re-commended by 'mommy bloggers' and Certified Lactation Consultants alike – and, of course, by nursing mothers.
