When you start breastfeeding you can’t know how it’s going to go. But when the stats tell us that 79% of women will experience cracked or painful nipples due to breastfeeding, and many women stop breastfeeding before they want to because of pain – well it’s clear something’s not working.

Of course it’s not just your nipples that need support (and boy do they need it). You want to wear what feels comfortable, without worrying if a breastpad is going to slip or slide out. You want to make it through a coffee without checking for leaks every five minutes. You want to dress for you – and not think twice. And yes, you want your boobs  treated kindly through all of it.

Turns out, that's a lot to ask of a cabbage leaf.
