Passion Spice sells a fantastic array of maternity and nursing bras and lingerie – all designed to make you still feel sexy, even though you’re a mommy! There are lots of times, particularly with a newborn, that the last thing in the world that you feel like doing is making yourself put on cute lingerie and pretend you feel sexy. It’s completely nonsensical, but the trick is that if you force yourself to do some little, superficial things – like put on makeup, or a bra and panty set that actually match - it definitely puts a little bounce in your step. Your clothes may be covered in formula spit-up and dried pureed green beans, but knowing that you have your favorite lipstick on can sometimes be the boost that gets you through the day.
Now, prior to having Anna and nursing a baby for the first time, I went out and bought a few nursing bras. Since I was assuming I wouldn’t be wearing them for too long, I admittedly didn’t spend a fortune on them. I suppose that I didn’t fully realize how much work your nursing bra does and how often you interact with it throughout the day with a nursing baby. After bringing Anna home, it wasn’t long before it became extremely clear that pinching pennies when it came to my nursing bras was not the best idea. Whether it was the clasps not working, the underwire poking through or just being plain uncomfortable, I was wishing that someone had told me this beforehand so I hadn’t wasted money!
Passion Spice was kind enough to send me the Elle Nursing bra and matching Jade bikini. Even though Anna is no longer nursing, I think I’m now an expert in quality nursing and maternity gear. Perhaps the highest compliment that I can give to this bra is that I love wearing it, even though I’m not currently nursing! Available in sizes from 34B to 42F and both black and aqua colors, it is much prettier than most nursing bras. The balconette style with ribbon trim and ruffled straps will make any mom feel like herself again in no time! The Elle bra has microfiber fabric, to help keep you dry, and the lactation safe underwire 
provides the right amount of support. The Jade bikini is adorable, too – plus, it’s a great motivation tool to measure your post-baby diet progress! The bikini also comes in both black and aqua to match the Elle bra and Passion Spice carries sizes S-XXL.
Not to be outdone, Passion Spice’s collection of maternity lingerie is just as exciting! For example, check out the Giselle Babydoll (pictured right). How hot is that? The transparent mesh beautifully showcases your pregnant belly and the graceful drape of the fabric is flattering no matter what trimester you’re in. In sizes S-XXL and red or black color options, the Giselle is a great Valentine’s Day or anniversary present. Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate in style!
