FACTS about Bamboo (Did you know?)
Fabric made from bamboo is incredibly soft, smooth and luxuriously comfortable

Bamboo: bamboo fabric is highly breathable in hot weather and also keeps you significantly warmer in the cold.

Bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticides or fertilizers
Bamboo fibre is 100% biodegradable
As the fastest growing plant in the world, bamboo grows to its maximum height in about 3 months and reaches maturity in 3-4 years. It spreads rapidly across large areas. Because of this, bamboo is known to improve soil quality in degraded and eroded areas of land.
As a grass, bamboo is cut, not uprooted, also helping soil stability. Bamboo also can grow on hill slopes where nothing else is viable.
The yield you get from an acre of bamboo is 10 times greater than the yeld you get from cotton.
Bamboo requires very little water.
FAQ
What is SPD ( Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction)
Many women suffer from severe pelvic pain during pregnancy and in the months after their baby is born.
SPD or symphysis pubis dysfunction can occur from the first trimester onwards and is caused by a loosening of the pubic symphysis, a joint at the front of the pelvis, during pregnancy. Symptoms include tenderness, pain and a feeling of pressure in the pubic area, severe discomfort lifting or parting your legs, shooting pains in your lower body, a clicking feeling in your pelvis as you move (possibly feeling like your hip is moving around in the joint) and backache.
What causes it?
The symphysis pubis is the strong, ligamented joint that holds the front bones of the pelvis together. It helps to stabilise the pelvis, allowing free movement of the legs and lower body and under 'normal' circumstances is very inflexible. During pregnancy the pelvis needs to move more than usual to make room for a growing baby and to allow for the baby's passage during birth. However, just as you can overstretch other joints in the body during pregnancy, some women experience an overstretching of the symphysis pubis.
It is the pregnancy hormone 'relaxin' that is responsible for this loosening and stretching of the ligaments to make room for a baby. Its believed that SPD and pelvic pain may be down to an excess or oversensitivity to this hormone coupled with misalignment of the pelvis or lower back. Unfortunately for this reason its believed that if you suffer with SPD during one pregnancy and do not receive treatment, you may also experience it during subsequent pregnancies.
What can be done?
If you are suffering from pelvic discomfort you should visit your doctor as soon as possible as they will be able to advise you on the best course of action, however there are steps you can take in your day to day life that will help to reduce your discomfort. These include...
Wearing a maternity support belt which will provice support to the pelvic area. (please note our band is not a belt and will not help with SPD)
Placing a pillow between your legs whilst sleeping
Using a birthing ball to sit on, as this can help relieve SPD
Keeping your legs as symmetrically together as possible when sitting or lying down and when getting out of bed or a car
Taking the stairs one at a time; placing one foot on a step and bringing the other up to meet it before moving to the next step
Swimming, floating or exercising in water to help aleviate pressure on this joint
Practicing pelvic floor exercises to help bring more stability to this area
Resting whenever possible
