Pregnancy is a beautiful journey full of joy and anticipation, but with it comes new challenges - one of the biggest being getting dressed in the morning!
Your body is undergoing an incredible change, so it can become challenging to find clothes that offer comfort and support while still looking good and feeling like yourself.
Enter bamboo - a breathable, eco-friendly fabric that has revolutionised and changed the maternity-wear game.
Read on to discover the benefits of wearing bamboo while pregnant and read our top Lou Lou picks to keep you and your growing bump stylish and comfy for the next nine months.
If you’re looking for: Something Comfortable / We Suggest: Maxi Bamboo Whitney Tube Skirt
If there’s ever a time in your life to prioritise comfort, it’s during pregnancy! Bamboo fabric is unbelievably soft to the touch, as well as being lightweight - making it perfect for when you don’t want to feel weighed down or overstimulated by your clothes.
Our Whitney Maxi Skirt is a staple piece. You can dress it up for dinner or the office, and dress it down for day-to-day errands - far more stylish than tracksuit pants, and we bet you won’t even miss them!
If you’re looking for: Something Breathable / We Suggest: Quatro Bamboo Duster
Bamboo is a super fabric - it’s highly breathable and adapts to your body temperature, helping to keep you warm in cooler temperatures and cool in warmer weather. This adaptability is especially beneficial in pregnancy when your body temperature can fluctuate unexpectedly.
The Quatro Bamboo Duster is the ideal piece to throw on your way out the door. Featuring full-length sleeves and an open neckline, it’s the perfect extra layer to keep you not too hot and not too cold. Plus it's versatile, looking very cute paired with anything from jeans and a tee to a nice dress.
If you’re looking for: Something Anti-Sweat / We Suggest: Supreme Bamboo Wrap
Hormones like estrogen and progesterone are on the rise during pregnancy, which can cause you to find yourself getting sweatier than normal.
Did you know bamboo fabric has excellent moisture-wicking properties? It draws the sweat away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Our Supreme Bamboo Wrap really is supreme - keep it in your handbag for when you need an extra layer or scarf, it’ll make even dabbing the sweat off your brow look chic.
If you’re looking for: Something Hypoallergenic / We Suggest: Cindy Bamboo Singlet
Even your skin can go through changes throughout pregnancy, sometimes becoming more irritable, sensitive, or even having allergic reactions you haven’t experienced before. Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those with skin sensitivities.
We are huge fans of our Cindy Bamboo Singlet for so many reasons, the main one being just how versatile it is! A staple singlet is something you could easily wear every single day, even throughout the next stage of postpartum and breastfeeding, so it’s important that it won’t cause you or your new baby any irritability or reactions.
If you’re looking for: Something Stretchy / We Suggest: Cher Bamboo Dress
Bamboo fabrics have a natural stretch, making it a practical choice to provide flexibility that accommodates your growing belly comfortably.
It’s also known for its durability and resilience, able to maintain its quality and stretch through multiple washes, ensuring your LouLou pieces will take you through pregnancy, to postpartum, and beyond.
Everyone needs a little black dress in their lives, and our pick is the Cher Bamboo Dress. Featuring a soft t-shirt style with short sleeves and a curved swing hem, this dress is perfect for a timeless, effortless style. Cute with a bump or without!
Choosing the right clothing during pregnancy is more than a matter of style, it’s also about finding fabrics that cater to your comfort and well-being.
By opting for pieces made from our signature bamboo fabric, you’re not only investing in your comfort but also supporting eco-friendly practices that benefit our planet.
Embrace the journey of motherhood with the unparalleled comfort of bamboo, and experience the difference it makes in your pregnancy wardrobe.
