Our mission is to empower women to thrive during their breastfeeding journey.
When Mamas Thrive...
So do their babies, families and communities. This is precisely why we are so focused about walking this motherhood journey with YOU, Everything we design is centered around your needs because an investment in mothers directly translates to an investment in everyone's wellbeing.
Feminism isn't about making women stronger. Women are already strong, it's about changing the way the world perceives that strength."
-G.D. Andersen
GEnder equality
Female-designed and female-run—we are making sure we 'walk the talk' of gender equality with our products, how we operate and with the mama community we serve. Rooted in our values and guided by the UN's Women's Empowerment Principles (WEP), female empowerment and gender equality principles are at the heart of our why we exist.

We advocate for women's health
paid parental leave
This isn't about more time off, this is about a medical and health necessity. Birthing parents especially need time to physically recover, breastfeed and bond with their babies. This is why we stand alongside of Paid Leave for All.
“We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back. We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave—to embrace the strength within themselves and realize their full potential.”

ReUSE & REPURPOSE
We are passionate about protecting Mama Earth. While there is still so much more we can do, we are committed to making a positive impact in global communities and on Earth. We do this through reducing the use of plastic, and the reuse of all our products.
We are also thrilled with multiple partners such as !% for the Planet and CleanHub to fund programs that reduce plastic from getting into our oceans.
