When I first had my daughter three years ago, my first shopping experience was when she was five weeks old.

I was stretched out, exhausted and hormonal. She was tiny, hungry and not a great shopping partner. But I needed nursing bras, so to the maternity store we went. My 34DDs had stretched to an uncomfortable 38EE and it was time to invest in some serious coverage for them.

I was horrified by what I saw. Not only was the body in the mirror someone else’s (perhaps an elephant’s or some large amphibian’s), I was unable to wear any of the cute lingerie I once enjoyed. The only bras now available to me seemed to be white, black or skin-colored, minus any of the cute, lacey embellishments that made them girly or even cute.

I nursed my daughter for a year, got pregnant again and have been nursing my son for almost 1.5 years and for all that time, I have been resigned to ugly underwear. Well, no longer.

HotMilk is a New Zealand based company that sells sexy nursing bras, camis and nightwear. I got my first set from them recently as part of my quest to be more fashionable and it was the first time in 3.5 years I actually felt sexy in my lingerie.

Why can’t we moms celebrate our new curves with underwear that celebrates it rather than grannifies it. Check it out:

I mean, why should moms have to sacrifice femininity just because we are nursing? I am glad someone finally thought of this. Now I want to see sexy orthopedic shoes. Let’s get to work on that ASAP.
