Comments from testers

Aneta

I would recommend this shirt to every future mother because of the convenience and comfort of use. For my part, I would like to add that despite the already large belly, the shirt is cut in such a way that it does not shorten at the front, which, for example, is very important to me. The shirt keeps its shape and fits very nicely. Importantly, it is very nicely packed in a small box and not in foil - so there is no unnecessary plastic either.  

Monika

I am very happy with this product, it worked well during pregnancy, it is practical and nice, very comfortable during night feedings.

Aneta

The product is very comfortable, the form of the dress makes you feel comfortable and at ease regardless of whether you sleep in it or walk around all day.

Natalia

The system of undoing the shirt along the entire length works best for me (it was very easy to take off for a bath, gynecological examination, etc. when I was sore and weak). Great material and finish.   

Magda

The shirt is very comfortable, the material is pleasant to the body, I also liked the cut, and the pockets turned out to be convenient and useful.  

Diana

The shirt is of very good quality - both material and workmanship. An additional advantage is Polish production and composition of 100% cotton. Sliders very aesthetically made, but not entirely practical. A bit too long in my opinion. Too bad it can't be tumble dried.  

Marta

Shirt very comfortable for feeding, the material is pleasant to the skin. It was also to my taste in terms of appearance.  

Klaudia

The product fulfills its functions (it can be used during pregnancy, later feeding is facilitated by snaps), the length is appropriate (also when using a hospital shirt).

Katarzyna

Very pleasant, airy material that does not irritate the body. Snaps for easy on and off. Beautiful, feminine cut.
