Why choose nursingwear?  To breastfeed in regular clothes you need to unbutton or lift up your clothing to access your breast.  Breastfeeding clothes have discreet openings or separate layers which allow you to breastfeed without having to expose your back and tummy.  Specialised breastfeeding clothes offer a convenient alternative. These clothes generally work on a layering principle. The bottom layer contains breastfeeding openings. By lifting the top layer, your back and tummy remain discreetly covered.

Breastfeeding is a beautiful bonding time between mother and baby and with our specialised nursingwear designs you can enjoy this moment anytime, anywhere, with complete confidence.

Interesting Facts About Modal Fabric

Most of the Ninth Moon and Maternity Plus items are made from Modal.  Modal is a processed bio-based textile made from reconstituted cellulose from the beech tree. It is very soft and popular for clothing. Modal may be used on its own or in a blend with cotton, spandex, or other textiles. In many ways, modal acts like cotton, but it also has some significant advantages over cotton.

It is also known as "artificial silk".  It is soft, smooth and breathes well. Its texture is similar to that of cotton or silk. It is cool to the touch and very absorbent. Like cotton, modal dyes easily and becomes color-fast after submersion in warm water.

One of the advantages of modal over cotton is its resistance to shrinkage, a notorious problem with cotton. Modal is also less likely to fade or to form pills as a result of friction. Its smoothness also makes hard water deposits less likely to adhere to the surface, so the fabric stays soft through repeated washings.

Modal drapes well and keeps its shape, even when wet and don't need any ironing!  In Europe, where the fabric originated, it is already widely used in clothing as a replacement for cotton.
