The Butibag Company

The idea for the büti bäg company was started by Nicole Williams, now a WAHM ("work-at-home mom") to a fiesty toddler. Just like many moms, her ideas come from needing or wanting something specific not available in the marketplace.

The büti bäg company's first design brought to market, the PATENT PENDING bûndle, was created after Nicole just couldn't find anything she liked. Once her baby became a toddler, and less "stuff" was needed, she wanted something of quality that could hold a few essentials. The only things she could find were too small diaper/wipe holders, too big diaper bags and VERY bland nylon toiletry organizers. She also wanted a product which would have a functional life beyond baby/toddler-hood that she could use for several purposes in the future. She took her ideas to her wonderful step-mom (Susan), who can literally sew anything, and the bûndle and the büti bäg company were born.

We now offer several different products in addition to our bundle organizer. You can find chic and useful accessories for yourself and as gifts at http://www.butibag.com/, as well as at our growing list of retailers. Our hope is that these creations will appeal to other moms and women out there and help to make their lives just a little bit easier. We do offer an online gift registry, so sign up for your favorite items and we’ll send you a personalized discount code to give to friends and family!

The Shower Hug by Belmama & Cherub

The Shower Hug™ by Belmama & Cherub ~ a bandeau wrap worn around the bustline of pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to support and protect sore breasts, nipples and areolas associated with pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Wear it inside or outside of the shower to provide a myriad of soothing benefits to today’s busy Moms!!

Worn while showering, the Shower Hug relieves pain by providing gentle support to full breasts, creating a barrier between tender breasts and harsh shower streams, and absorbing warm shower water to act as a compress to relieve common ailments such as engorgement, mastitis and plugged milk ducts. Importantly, it also shields delicate breasts and nipples from direct contact with soaps and toiletries that can further irritate sensitive breasts. It does all this while leaving Mom’s hands free, so she can enjoy her shower in peace. Moms get to rediscover the solitude and sanctuary of the shower!

Worn outside of the shower, the Shower Hug is the perfect absorbent and supportive garment for breastfeeding Moms to wear under their pajamas at night, so they can take a break from wearing restrictive nursing bras and pads around the clock. It is made of super-soft, stretch knit terry velour, so it contours nicely to every Mom’s individual shape and feels wonderful – just like a hug. The Shower Hug also can hold therapeutic cold and heat packs in place with hands free convenience, so Mom can get the relief she needs when she needs it, while leaving her busy hands free.

The Shower Hug by Belmama & Cherub ~ a brand-new solution to an age-old problem! Created by Mamas who care. Proudly manufactured in the USA.

While the Shower Hug was initially created for pregnant and breastfeeding Moms, it is also used by women who experience cyclical breast pain, women recovering from breast surgery such as augmentation, reconstruction and mastectomy, as well as by women recovering from C-section deliveries (they wrap it around their bellies instead of their bustline!) to provide these same benefits!
