It's also very well priced, and the customer service is excellent. I think lilo maternity is the way to go for maternity clothing....

The Bella Band was a life saver. It allowed me to keep wearing my normal pants well into my second trimester, and even a few items into my third. It is really comfortable to wear, washes well and is much cheaper than buying a ton of new clothes. I also think it will work well postpartum while I'm getting back into shape, but I'll have to wait and see! — —...

NEVER will I make that mistake again! These nursing pads litterally fall apart while they are being worn. There were many times I would be getting ready to nurse my son and the cotton filling they have inside the pads would be all over my breast! The outer liner came off no problem, so did the cotton part inside. I buy the Lansinoh breast pads and have had absolutely no problems with them. Evenflo seems like a good brand, but not for Breast pads. Don't waste your money on these, pay a little bit more money and get a lot better quality....

I bought the Medela from the hospital upon their and friends' suggestion. It is easy to use and clean and pretty much gets the job done but I have found it to be pretty uncomfortable if used often and the Medela does not seem to express nearly the amount of milk the Avent does....

Very durable construction, easy to clean accessories, and it comes in a very discreet and stylish bag/backpack with all the room you need for storage. — It has a cycle that stimulates let down before the main pumping cycle. Both "cycles" have adjustable suction. Also comes with the ac adapter to plug into a wall and battery pack, with the option to hook up a car adapter. — We have a Mother's Room where I work with a few curtained areas that allow breastfeeding mothers to pump. You can tell when someone has a Medela pump by the soothing noise it makes. Haha...but really. No obnoxious squeaky pump on this product. —...

The waistband rested in the perfect spot, and I never had any troubles with frequent re-adjustments as I'd had with other brands.........Plus, they're well-made, and completely affordable. Even my husband liked them! He said they made my rear-end look cute. I must have washed and dried them over a hundred times, and they never fell apart. — ...

If you do not use one then you will be showing the world what is under your shirt. ha ha. These tops are light weight and comfortable. You can wear them before, during and after your pregnacy and birth. They are very versatile and go with many things. I enjoyed the shirts very much because they are so comfortable and perfect for everyday use. —...

Then, I tried the Johnson and Johnson brand - I thought I had found the right ones this time - they were thick and so I thought that meant extra-absorbant, but No! I would leak through those in no time and they didn't stick very well. PLUS, their thickness made them very visible under clothes. I decided to try again - fortunately, the Lansinoh pads were on sale the day I went searching so I bought them. I was immediately relieved. They combined all the great qualities of the Gerber and Johnson & Johnson brands - they were thin but very absorbant. Plus, They are larger in diameter as well- which works well for me with my DD chest! I was nervous about the lining on the back that is supposed to keep you from leaking through to your clothes, because...
