Given the choice between a pair of paper knickers or ones made from soft, stretchy, cotton, not many of us would choose the paper option. Yet, that’s what many parents opt for when it comes to nappies. Can you imagine going to M&S to buy some underwear and walking out with a bulk pack of [...]

The UK isn’t exactly famed for its long, hot, blue sky summers, is it? In fact, it’s not known for its weather at all. And why? Because the weather is largely dull and cloudy. It rarely gets ridiculously cold, it rarely gets ridiculously hot. In fact, the British have decidedly unremarkable weather. This might go [...]

I set up bras4mums after I got fed up with not getting good advice when I was pregnant and breastfeeding both my boys. It was more out of frustration, than a desire to become a retailer. I have never been a shopper, much to my mother’s frustration! So for me to now have to make [...]
