We spoke to these real parent testers to get their review...
How did this product make your life easier?
Ceri: This product is a lovely treat for yourself or I would recommend this as a gift for mums to be. I received three at my baby shower and look forward to taking the time out to use them over the final few weeks of my pregnancy. I use an oil on my bump every day however I often apply this whilst rushing to get ready for work etc however with the bump mask it encourages you to slow down, relax and enjoy the experience.
Stacey: It gave me something to look forward to and enjoy at the end of the day. It was very relaxing and helped me cool down and feel more comfortable. Usually my stretch marks itch but after using this product they felt soft , smooth and a lot less visible. I also found whilst using the mask the baby kicked meaning we had a nice bonding moment.
Lori: It certainly helped me to relax as an expectant mum in the later stages of pregnancy. It felt like I was giving my bump a drink, and keeping it nice and moisturised and healthy. Afterwards, my skin felt smooth and soft and well hydrated. It's a great product to use if you'd like to cool your bump down too.
Would you recommend this to other parents?
Rebecca: Really nice to have some dedicated one on one time with the bump, exploring and nourishing your skin but also just taking time out of the day to connect with the little one. Sometimes it’s difficult to find an excuse to stop and relax, but this encourages you to stop, have a bath and give you and your bump some special treatment!
Brogan: I would recommend this as it’s a lovely product with lovely results that you can see as soon as the product is taken off, it leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed and isn’t overly sticky so you feel oily afterwards, it has the opposite affect and feels lovely afterwards. I will be recommending this to many of my fellow pregnant mums!
Kim: Yes I would and did as it was a lovely pamper treat as a mum and felt so refreshing on my bump. The size of the sheet was great and the amount of product on the sheet was brilliant. I was able to put the product back in the packet and use it again. The packaging was very appealing and girly and would make me stop and take a look.
Would you choose this product above all others on the market?
Ceri: I'm not sure this product is any better than using a good oil or bump lotion but the fact that it encourages you to take a rest and sit for 10-20 minutes is a good thing. First off I didn't see any noticeable difference in the hydration of my skin however the next day I felt as though the oil i use on my bump sank in a lot easier and my bump looked more hydrated.
Stacey: I would choose this above other brands as the design is appealing and easy to use. I like the packaging, I also enjoy the subtle smell of this product as other brands can be overwhelming and a bit sickly. This product is calming and relaxing in every way it has nothing harsh about it at all.
Lori: I loved this product, from the packaging to the feel of the mask going onto my skin, to how it continued to help my bump feel hydrated for hours afterwards. It comes in such appealing packaging and is really simple to use, very much like a face mask. It feels like a turbo-charged instant moisituriser for your bump which I love and would definitely buy again.
What changes would you make to this product?
Rebecca: Maybe having an accompanying oil that you could use for every day use and emphasising that this is for an intensive treatment. Maybe some suggestions of ways to connect with bump while using the mask or guided meditations for mindfulness to use alongside it which could be accessed through a link on the back for example.
Brogan: I wouldn’t change one thing about this product I throughly loved it and will be buying again I will be keeping some in the fridge for hot days too as it would be extremely refreshing in the summer when it’s hot and sticky and the sun is skin drying it was easy to use and has amazing results afterwards! Fab product.
Kim: The only thing I would change is a reduction in the price slightly or advertising that you could use it more than once as I think there is enough to reuse if stored properly in the foil packet as the sheet is saturated in lovely product. Other than this there really isn’t anything else I could suggest to change as I really enjoyed the product and purchased many more during my pregnancy and have some to use after.
