NURSING WEAR
Maternalove

With the use of soft, breathable fabrics, Maternalove designs create feminine silhouettes with clean, fluid lines. These pieces wears both beautifully and comfortably, with nursing openings cleverly integrated to make breastfeeding a breeze for the trendy mum on-the-go.
Annee Matthew
Founded in 2001, local brand Annee Matthew is the brainchild of a woman who got tired of looking frumpy and attracting ego-deflating stares as she nursed her children in public. Since then, Annie, the founder of Annee Matthew, has been designing her own line of dual function clothing, suitable for both maternity and nursing. You'll love the use of both style and functionality in all her designs, which allow all mums to look pretty and discreet even as they nurse in public. She makes clothes that you'd want to wear even after pregnancy!
Mayreau
An offspring from the popular 1 in the Oven™ maternity line, Mayreau™ is a "during" and "after" range that can be worn both during your pregnancy and after for nursing. This U.S. brand blends amazing style with the highest comfort.
Mothers En Vogue
Look forward to nothing less than the best and most subtle nursing pieces (with various styles of discreet openings!) including trendy basics, shrug dresses and leopard camisole designs from this nursing wear specialist. Also, streamlined, sexy silhouettes inspired from their maternity range.
Dote
What we love about Dote is how its nursing wear collection is just different from the many basic styles found in the market. Undeniably classy yet youthful, you'll want to wear these styles even if you're not nursing, and that's the true sign of a winning nursing design! This local brand, designed by a trendy women's wear fashion designer and mum of one – is certainly one to look out for.
Japanese Weekend
A sensational range of nursing tops and dresses are now available from US brand Japanese Weekend. Their "d & a™"(during and after) styles, made of super stretchy fabrics, cater to growing tummies during pregnancy, as well as after-pregnancy waistlines. Best of all, they also feature discrete openings for nursing. It's won us over, and we're certain you'll love them too.
Mothers En Vogue's Bodybra
The newly launched bodybra hasstrong adjustable shoulder straps that provide mums with their desired lift and support, and lightweight padding for a seamless finish. It's extremely flattering with a slightly relaxed fit that skims the body, and it also keeps mums incredibly cool with its unique bamboo- fibre fabrication. Fuss free access - simply lift the outer layer - makes for efficient nursing too. Available in white, black and dusky pink.
LINGERIE
Hot Milk Lingerie A desirable, delightful and decadent range of pregnancy and nursing lingerie from New Zealand. Yes, if you’re tired of plain lingerie, then this is the brand for you! HOTMILK celebrates the sexy, sensual woman inside the loving mother.

Solidea Support Stockings These amazing maternity pantyhose are designed to provide the ultimate in comfort, fit, style and health for your lower body. Graduated leg compression effectively prevents ankle swelling and water retention while preventing varicose and spider veins.

Sassybax Lingerie This brand has created waves with its revolutionary designs that eliminate bra lines and fat bulges, giving you that perfect silhouette. Best of all, its Sassybax microfiber nylon and lycra blend also means its bras are extremely comfortable for mums-to be and nursing mums. The bras stretch to accommodate changing breast size, provide fabulous support and can even be used for nursing - you just pull the stretch fabric cup down. Try the Sassybax Bralette (which functions as the perfect camisole as well!) and the Sassybax Bandeau, which is the perfect strapless for pregnant mums.
Arabella B Maternity Underwear Arabella B's maternity bras and bottoms feel like second skin, thanks to its superb quality elastane fabric, which makes them super comfy while offering adequate support. The seamless bra doubles up as a camisole or a nursing bra and there's none of that unsightly bunching with normal cotton maternity or nursing bras. For your bottom line, Arabella B's maternity panties come in three styles -- Brazilian, Thong, or overbelly.
Japanese Weekend Lingerie
These basic intimates from Japanese Weekend feel like second skin. We currently carry the hug™ range. Nursing bras are available in normal double strap bras and convertible halter/t-back styles. They also have double-banded elastic fronts for easy access. The panty offers full coverage, is worn under the belly and is available in sets of two. Bras and panties are available in white, black and taupe.
Mothers En Vogue Knitted Bras
An essential basic for any mum, these bras have been flying off the shelves ever since they arrived in the store, and for good reason. They're super comfy, seamless, and come with removable padding. The thin straps are great for showing under your tank tops but they can also be removed should you prefer more supportive straps. No uncomfortable wire and its great stretch factor means the bra can accommodate the growth in your bosom. To nurse, simply lift up from below or pull to one side.
Inujirushi Maternity and Nursing Bras
This Japanese brand's bras are not only pretty but also easy to use. Slight to thicker padded options ensure no nipples show through. There's also a wide range of nursing access options like side pull, drop cup and front button styles. Cooling and comfortable, all the bras can be worn for both maternity and nursing needs, with stretchy material to accommodate changes in cup size and girth. Most are non-wired but there are also soft-wired versions available for those who prefer more shape.
Inujirushi Maternity Support and Postpartum Shapewear
The Belt Style Maternity Support provides just the lift you need to support your growing belly and helps prevent backaches and overstretched abdominal muscles. The Postpartum Shapewear helps bring your body back to the original pre-pregnancy figure by encouraging the internal organs to reposition themselves into their proper location, and narrowing the waistline. All styles have been developed under the guidance of certified OB-GYN specialists. Certain styles are also winners of the Good Design Award in Japan.
C-Panty, The After Caesarean Underwear™
For mums who have undergone a caesarean or C-section, the C-Panty will help you get back on track. This is underwear designed by a mom and US medical surgeon team to address post-caesarean recovery concerns including scarring, swelling, sensitivity and discomfort. They key lies in the interior silicone panel localised to the incision area that increases moisture content and reduces scar formation. The C-Panty also has a gentle compression panel to address swelling and support the area. What's more, a fluted waistband avoids the discomfort of elastic panty waistbands. No more digging in waistbands or big ol' granny panties!
PREGO Swimwear
PREGO swimwear makes it a breeze for you to continue your exercise and swimming routine. From tankinis and halters to spaghetti straps and flattering one pieces, the US brand also makes swimsuits in prints like swirls, polka dots or basic blacks and browns.
