Today we’ve got an exciting brief with our friends at Miss James for their brilliant products (as worn by Paloma Faith!!) and we can’t wait to see how the OMBLES take on this very different theme and help spread the word of the brand and their crowdfunding campaign.
Please tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @MissJamesUK with the hashtag #BeltfreeBump
Prizes: 5 x free products for yourself or friends/family members.
Beltfree by Miss James
We are crowdfunding to bring the first maternity product of its kind to the market.
Miss James maternity wear has patent pending Beltfree technology in-built into a seamless garment made of knitted compression.
It does the job of a medical support band to help with PGP as part of super soft, stretchy, and long lasting leggings or shorts. The maternity support wear lifts and supports the weight of the baby, to reduce pressure in the pelvic area, and offer an added maternity support.
Our manufacturer in Italy is ready to ship the products, so we are ready to revolutionise the maternity wear market.
What are we trying to achieve?
We will put the money raised through this crowdfunding campaign back into our business to pay for our first full production run, and launch our online shop.
This means that we can start to change the lives of pregnant women with back and pelvic pain.
They will finally be able to find a solution that will give them instant pain relief, so that they can enjoy the rest of their pregnancy.
They can also be worn postpartum to aid recovery.
We know how debilitating back, pelvic, pubis, hip, and sciatica pains can be during pregnancy. By using our products, mums-to-be can stay mobile, take exercise, and stay on their feet for work or childcare of other children.
We truly believe that our products will not only change the physical lives of pregnant women, but also empower them to enjoy their pregnancies.
What makes our products great?
Our patent pending Beltfree technology is integrated into our maternity wear.
It is the only retail product that provides pain relief and an added maternity support as part of an item of clothing.
Beltfree technology combines the function of multiple products only available in the medical market into one garment that can be worn day or night.
Our leggings are soft and comfortable, and can also be worn as tights under a dress. Our shorts can be worn at night or as a base layer under anything in your wardrobe for any occasion. We give you all the right support, in the right place, in a gorgeous seamless garment that you can wash and wear over and over again.
That means:
✅ One pair of leggings to see you through a whole pregnancy and afterwards
✅ No separate bands that move around
✅ Comfortable support day and night
✅ Instant relief from PGP
✅ Increased energy and better mobility
✅ More comfortable sleep
Where did the idea come from?
Our founder, Emma experienced back and pelvic pain from 16 weeks of her first pregnancy. She tried to find a product that could not only help her to manage her pain, but that looked good and she could wear throughout her pregnancy, day and night.
The only thing she could find were medical belts and elastic supports, none of which helped. They were also pretty horrible to look at.
So, she set to making her own! Emma wore the prototype that she'd created for the rest of her pregnancy, and then whilst she was carrying her second child.
The products that she created managed the condition from the very beginning, which meant that she could enjoy her pregnancy, and continue to care for her first child. The cherry on top was that she could also sleep well and pain free, and didn't have to strap on any ugly belts.
Testimonials
We had a huge demand for samples earlier this year, so we decided to launch a giveaway campaign until we launched the business.
The feedback has been incredible!
The Beltfree technology in the Miss James maternity support wear is changing the journeys of pregnant women. Our mums who have tried them out have felt empowered to enjoy their pregnancies without the pain of PGP.
We think every woman suffering with this condition is entitled to that.
What's our vision?
Our vision is to fully launch our website with leggings and shorts this year.
We then plan to release new products into our maternity range.
We have already started the process to secure the CE marking certification for the medical market as we know our products can help many more people with back and pelvic pain not just pregnant women.
The products can be used for chronic conditions, but also to provide beneficial support to speed up the recovery process reducing the usual long recovery journey.
We have already submitted a proposal to a major global sportswear brand to integrate our technology into sports and leisure wear.
