Can you remember when Mary Portas did her recent programme Mary Queen of shops when she went to the charity shop and saw at what kind of things get donated and that items of clothing were donated in a hideous state? Well i saw that programme and i couldn’t believe people would do that, well thats all changed because i can now!
When a nursing top is returned to us we always check that it has no stains / make up marks / heavy perfume etc and that it hasn’t been worn and then washed and returned to us. We then iron , package up nicely again and it goes for resale – just like high street stores. Only clothes that are in the same condition as sold get refunds / exchanges as we are a small independent store and need to be able to sell all of our stock.
Now today something hideous happened, which is really unusual as you lovely ladies the majority are really respectful and do indeed send your returns back in the same condition as they were received ; i unpacked a nursing top that was returned recently , initially it looked ok , then i noticed it had no hang tag , ok, strange for something which had just been tried on to have no hang tag as all our hang tags can be taken off and reapplied without the need for breaking them. Then i took a look at the under layer of the top…….
OMG it was disgusting, 2 maooosive milk marks where obviously the nursing top had been worn, a little bit of what looked like baked bean sauce down it and if that wasn’t enough on the hem it looks like she had changed a pooey nappy too and gotten a bit of it on the top. I would take a picture of it but it’s gross.
As Aretha puts it please dudes have a little respect.
Seriously the majority of you are so lush, we know you wouldn’t even think of doing this.
It doesn’t matter if the shirt is slightly crinkled, not folded up the best , or the plastic bag is a little torn i understand, i am a mum to a young baby , i totally get it, but i don’t get how someone could send a top back like this. Thats just plain, rude, gross and wrong.
Just remember we are a small family business working as hard as we can to bring ladies something funky and cool with the best quality and service we can. If lots of people did this our price’ would have to be raised to cover all these losses and eventually just like any other store we would have to tighten up our return policy. We offer such a better returns policy than most on-line store, so guys don;t abuse it .
So the job begins of clearing out our old stock room to move to the new premises , there are loads of boxes all of which i thought were pretty organized hahaarrr how wrong i can be.
We found quite a few old nursing tops from when we first started Mama Feelsgood, it might not be that long ago ( we are celebrating our 2nd anniversary in little over a months time) but wow how things have come on since then with the design of our breastfeeding wear. They differ from our current nursing T-shirts in a few ways : A= the material , our current nursing tops have a little bit of spandex in the layers just to help stretch & retain their shape. B= our old breatsfeding tops were too short, they needed to be longer , so now our nursing shirt are long enough to hang outside your jeans or you can tuck the bottom layer in for extra cozyness!
We also found our maternity shirts prototype, these were funny, we did think about combining the two of having a maternity top that would convert into a nursing top, but we found that if you had been wearing the shirt as a maternity top for a few months by the time you come to breast feed your baby and if you breast feed over a period of months the shirt has just been stretched too much by your pregnancy and won’t go back into shape enough so is unflattering to your shape. Also lots of mums ( and i must include myself in this) don’t like to wear maternity clothes after you’ve had your babies. I know i am not spekaing for everyone here but i really didn’t enjoy either of my pregnancies , it’s truly amazing to have a new growing etc an of course i loved my babies to bits but the high blood pressure, back ache, sickness, lack of sleep etc i did not enjoy, some ladies bloom when pregnant i think i wilted!! But hey i have 2 fantastic children and i wouldn’t have it any other way. But clothes wise i found it lovely to have new nursing clothes to wear that were totally separate from my old maternity ones.
SO we have many boxes of nursing tops to move, it’s going to take some time and we are also looking to take delivery of some new style tops and nursing dresses too later this year which will need lots of room to store, all good times but blimey i wish i had bigger muscles!!! Good job Matt has i predict he will need them !!
As mentioned in our blog post yesterday we are going to keep you updated in our nursing tops stock situation as many of the tops available in our sale section are going fast.
Just a heads up on our Ray gun nursing top in pink ( long sleeve nursing top) it is now sold out in all sizes except xs (we have 2 left, and xl arge we have about 5 left), they are such a cool design, very 1950′s A movie feel about them, or kinda comic strip.
Ray gun nursing top
For £12.99 these nursing tops are an absolute steal, very good quality cotton shirts that are super funky and also provide something interesting for your children to look as whilst they breast feed.
Our ray gun graphic prints will not be re-printed so once gone that’s it;s .
Our Metropolis dark grey nursing top is going really fast, in medium there are literally like 3 shirts left so once they are gone they are gone, this style won’t be reprinted again .
As summer is edging away ( boo hoo) we are putting our pink nursing tops on sale although it;s alway cool to have a lovely colour shirt to pick you on those hideously cold winters mornings.
Newly added to our sale section is our Music Sounds Better With You long sleeve breastfeeding top it’s an absolute steal at £15.99 and will see you through the winter a treat. Again like our Metropolis nursing T-shirts once this print goes out of stock it won;t be re printed so if it floats your boat pick one up.
We are moving to our new premises too so in order not to log too much stock around we have put our short sleeve Rock Mama nursing top on sale (but only for a limited period only), this is one of our best selling nursing tops so won’t be at the super low price for much longer.
This breast feeding top is one of my favourites in our store, so i do feel quite attached to it !!! so this really will be a limited sale for this particular nursing top. We start moving into our new building friday so once this style top has been moved to its new home the sale will stop. sorry dudes!
As we add on take away different graphic prints nursing shirts from our sale section i’ll let you know here.
I admit i don’t normally watch This Morning, i’m usually bombing around a thousand miles an hour chasing your nursing tops for your orders or trying to pull things out of baby Erins mouth (she’s nearly 6 months now and EVERYTHING is going in he mouth arrhhh!) so when i got the whisper there was going to be a make over dedicated to a mum who breastfeeds i was intrigued to see what they came up with.
I’m so sorry but the lady’s name escapes me at the moment but she looked so lovely after the make over ( not saying she looked hanging before because she defo didn’t) but i can;t help thinking is it really possible to look like that everyday? Her hair was beautifully blow dried etc and her make up was lovely. If i tried that Erin would have ripped half my hair out ( as well as the mouth thing she adores to pull hair) so i generally have to scrapped back ( not quite a coventry facelift but nearly!) and i’m just too tired to put on the full make up. Am i alone in this ? Please say i’m not ha ha.
Anyways back to the makeover, they choose some lovely jeans from Dorothy Perkins for her to wear but i must admit i was a little dissapointed with the top they chose , it;s not the fact that it wasn’t a nursing top but they picked a silk one. Don’t know about you but i drop of milk goes a long way on fabric and on silk it would only take a little spillage and i’d have a mooosive wet patch .
Ok maybe i’m not being objective, after all i do sell nursing tops!
Did you see the feature, what did you think?
Our friends from Mama Scarf were approached to provide a nursing scarf, such a shame it wasn’t featured as they are really handy for breastfeeding in public.
This is a real milestone for us, we officially move into our new headquarters next Thursday.
So we now have to organise the monumental task of moving all our breastfeeding T-shirts over to the new place (and believe me there are tons of them) , so this is going to have to include a van, a few hunky men for the lifting (hey i just had a c-section 5 months ago , that is my excuse!) and a lot of time.
I do have pictures of the new place which i will post and pop up on our Facebook page for those of you who are interested , it’s had a lovely new carpet fitted today ( i am SO bad with keeping baby dribble off things so i am gonna try my best. Promise none gets on the shirt but Baby Erin is getting her teeth through and i’m sure she is loosing half her body weight in dribble at the moment! ) and Matt is goig to put our racking up, so all should look super cool .
We are getting some new stock in soon so this will make a huge help with the deliveries. Our current storage place is on a farm in a converted barn (it’s a very small barn!) so when artic lorries pull up to deliver our goods they burst a blood vessel trying to reverse down the smallest lane you have ever seen! SO now we have a proper loading bay and everything! SO cool. Also i will be sharing the building with one of my friends who runs her own company so i will get some company
Happy days guys, happy days.
Just to let you know that your nursing clothes are stored with care & love!
OMG we have got tons of stock to move to our new premises which is all good but man my arms are going to be killing me, so i have decided to put a few more of our nursing tops in the sale section.
Don’t take too long to grab some as it’s only for a few days and it’s basically only so we don’t have to move so much stock to the other side of Bristol (well few miles anyway!)
So in sale today is our Mama Rock short sleeve breastfeeding top in dark grey, enjoy!
This lush nursing top is now £15.99 reduced from £19.99.
Rock it out ladies, let your hair down and have a blast in our Rock Mama breastfeeding T-shirt. With Mama Feelsgood blazing across the chest and a retro rock band vibe about it you’ll think your back in your youth yeehaa!

Be warned this is from ages ago but i just noticed i never scanned the original article in for you guys to see and i was checking out the Bristol Evening Post’s website and found this article they wrote on us last year.
By Ekoch Emily Koch E.Koch
After the traumatic birth of her daughter, Liz Jeans decided if she could make it through that she could do anything.
Baby Amelia was not breathing when she was born and had to be resuscitated, and Liz’s blood pressure was so high doctors feared she might have a stroke.
Four years later, 35-year-old Liz has given up her day job and set up her own internet-based clothing business.
Mama Feels Good sells a range of fashionable t-shirts for mums-to-be and breastfeeding women.
Liz, who runs her business from her home in Little Stoke, has been building the business up over the past four years and finally gave up her job as a biomedical scientist at Southmead Hospital a few weeks ago to concentrate on Mama Feels Good full-time.
The Mama Feels Good T-shirts, featuring specially created designs, are sized especially for pregnant women, and the breastfeeding range make it easier for new mums to breastfeed their baby discreetly and comfortably.
She said: “There are a lot of people saying it is a bad time for business, with the recession, but I haven’t been put off. It has really taken off so it seemed like the right time to put some more hours into it. We launched the website a few months ago and we have been making lots of sales – to people in this country, the US, Australia. And now people from Poland and Canada as well are contacting me wanting to stock the T-shirts in their shops. It’s fantastic.”
She said the inspiration for the business came when Amelia, now four, was born.
Liz said: “Her birth was so awful that I felt like getting through that was a big achievement. I thought if I could go through something like that, I could go through anything. After she was born I started selling American maternity wear online in the UK, but then I thought I would like to sell clothes that I really liked.
“I also found that the maternity clothing market in this country was not very good, the clothes I got didn’t look very nice and fell apart. I wanted to buy clothes that I really wanted, not clothes that were my only option.
“Mum made up a T-shirt for me and I got it printed – and everyone said how much they liked it. It all went from there! Now we are selling at least 200 T-shirts a month. I get letters from mums saying the T-shirts have changed their life because they can go out and feel good about what they are wearing for a change.”
The idea for the name came from her husband, Matthew.
Liz said: “I was getting really frustrated coming up with a name and he said, well what do you want the business to stand for? I said – I just want mums to feel good – and we had it.”
Liz
