At Kokùn Lab, we are fans of the pregnancy brand JoliBump which shares the same values as us. Like us, it is a committed brand that offers essential, ethical and durable maternity clothing that adapts to the evolution of your body during all phases of motherhood. From the first months of pregnancy to postpartum and breastfeeding. Practical and comfortable clothes that will follow you for a long time to come!

1.A nursing bra with good support

As we know, breast size varies enormously during pregnancy and postpartum, even more so if you are breastfeeding. And even if you are not breastfeeding, it is essential to have a comfortable bra with good support to avoid developing chest or back pain.

The Jolibump organic cotton nursing and pregnancy bra is the ideal bra to wear during your 9 months of pregnancy and after the birth. Thanks to its wrap-around shape, it follows the development of your breasts with comfort and softness. In addition, it is seamless (seamless technology) and without underwiring, which guarantees you unequalled support and comfort during a period that can be very hard on a woman's body.

This bra has adjustable straps and a 3-way adjustable back closure so you can adjust it to your liking. This model is available in ecru or black, it is an innovative, resistant and comfortable model. It is available in sizes S to XL, so it can fit all breasts, even the largest.

2.A loose and feminine maternity top

 After pregnancy, the body changes, and women need clothes that adapt to their body and not the other way around. It takes time to re-inhabit the body after pregnancy and you need clothes that are fluid, not tight, comfortable and pleasant to wear to regain control of your body after the intense experience of giving birth.

The Jolibump maternity sailor with its wide, oversized cut is perfect for this. Thanks to its loose fit and soft Oeko-Tex certified cotton fabric, you can wear it in all circumstances and even while breastfeeding.

Moreover, it remains an elegant and feminine top to keep for a long time after pregnancy thanks to its pretty details: a boat neck with a nice opening, shifted sleeves for originality and a size of stripes especially designed to fit all silhouettes and morphologies.

3.Comfortable and stylish maternity leggings

Leggings are fast becoming the must-have maternity trousers from the 6th month of pregnancy. And leggings don't have to be tacky pyjama bottoms with holes and stains in them. There are cool and stylish leggings that are also durable and comfortable.

The leopard leggings in organic cotton from Jolibump, with their pretty customised print, will quickly become a must-have in your maternity wardrobe, to be worn throughout your pregnancy but also post-partum. During pregnancy, they are the ideal maternity bottoms to wear with a nice shirt and a pair of boots for a sophisticated look or with a white t-shirt, a denim jacket and trainers for a cooler look!

In postpartum, give your body time to recover, few women manage to wear their favourite jeans again after giving birth! Leggings are the comfortable and stylish option for all women.

So here they are, our top 3 tips for every future mum’s maternity suitcase. And as for baby's suitcase, that's a whole other story... It's important to prepare for their arrival, but it's just as important to think about you, your comfort and your femininity during this transitional period that is as overwhelming as it is magical!
