Why you should invest in beautiful maternity lingerie - by Sera Cruikshank

Sera Cruikshank shares her love with maternity lingerie and why everyone deserves to feel good about themsleves. Find out her favourite pieces from our hotmilk range below...

If there’s ever a time to invest in beautiful lingerie its now mama. The right pieces can completely transform how you feel about yourself and your relationship with your incredible body. When you’re holding down the fort at home, you’ve barely even had a chance to shower and there’s a small human permanently attached to your breast it’s easy to lose your sense of femininity.. over time this can do a lot of damage to your self-confidence thus having an effect on your relationships.

Start looking to invest in your first maternity bras about 4-5 months into your pregnancy.. or even before if you find you outgrow your other pieces sooner. This way you’ll save money in the long run as maternity bras usually accommodate 6 or so clasp sizes and will work with your expanding ribcage and cup size. I suggest investing in a minimum of maternity and nursing bras, and take note of your wardrobe when selecting colours. You want these pieces to be staple and versatile colours.

The moment you slip into these carefully selected pieces, you’ll feel proud, feminine and gently reminded that you’ve got this mama… Oh and did I mention that this pride will immediately be evident to your significant other, who finds body confidence sexy,remember… you can thank me later.
