Oilily's Russian Tale Diaper Bag

Diaper bags are a necessity during the first years with your baby (or at least as long as your baby needs his or her diapers). Most diaper or changing bags come with a wipe clean baby changing mat, which is an absolute plus when you are traveling or when you are going outdoors; to friends, to a park, etc.

Within the Winter 2011 / 2012 collection of the Dutch ‘Oilily‘ brand we found a few outstanding diaper bags designs from the ‘Russian Tale‘ and ‘Spoetnik‘ collection.
Oilily’s ‘Spoetnik’ collection, Spoetnik is Russian for ‘fellow-traveler’ or ‘companion’. This collection lives up its name perfectly.

The Spoetnik Diaper Bag has a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap with snaps for easy attachment to your stroller. Inside; zipper mesh pocket, diaper matras, 2 open pockets with elastic on top, 1 open front pocket and 1 zipper pocket on each side, including Bibi doll, bottom protection studs. Price € 149 at www.oililyshop.com international shipping available (for American mums; Oilily Diaper Bags are sold on www.zappos.com with free shipping within the USA, Oilily Diaper Bags at Zappos costs $ 220).

REVIEW OF THE VELVET DELIGHT MyBust™
In exchange for our honest opinion, our friend Jacqueline received the MyBust™ Velvet Delight. Jacqueline is pregnant with her second child, due to be born in July 2011.

A maternity bra that has glamour! It’s a very comfortable bra with lots of support that looks good beneath clothing too. The cotton lining gives it a nice soft feeling. The colour and design are also very nice. Even when your size chances you can easily adjust the bra because of the 6 hooks and eye extensions. I really love that the bra can be worn during pregnancy and after when you are nursing.

What is MyBust™?
Women are not all the same size, hence the have different needs and wants especially in nursing bras. The bras with the MyBust™ technology are specifically designed so that each bra caters for that particular size. Different construction and styling has been applied to customize each bra at every size.

Plunge bras from B-D cups are engineered to provide more lift and give that desirable shape whilst the balcony bras from E-I cups are constructed to give optimal support and comfort.

How are the MyBust™ bras personalised?

All Cake Lingerie bras have 6 hook and eye band clasps with easy drop down cotton lined feeding clips. The amazing MyBust™ technology further allows women to have an ideal bra customized to their size.

Below are some examples of the key differences between the B-D cup bras and E-I cup bras with the MyBust™ technology:

- Different cup construction offering specific styled plunge bras for B-D cup and balcony styles for E-I cup

- The gradual of the centre front from B-G to offer the right amount of support for that size

- Feeding clips and straps on the B-D cup bras are smaller than the E-I cup bras

- Foam padding added to the B-D cup bras but not in the E-I cup bras, as women in these sizes do not require it.

- As 80% of support comes from the back band the E-I cup bras have a wider back band than the B-D cup bras

How are they different to traditional bras?

All Cake Lingerie bras are working bras that have are made from quality fabrics and constructed differently to traditional bras. Nursing bras will give more support and comfort where needed and are fully functional for breastfeeding. It is also important that the bra fits correctly to ensure good breast health and proper milk production. Correctly fitted nursing bras will also decrease the chance of irritations and medical complications

As women’s breasts enlarge during pregnancy and nursing Cake Lingerie offers sizes from 70B-85I as women may experience growth by 2-4 cup sizes and increase in band size due to the expansion of the ribcage and diaphragm.
