The Birth of Bibi Threads

Bibi Threads is women co-owned and operated company specializing in stylish, comfortable nursing bras.

Here at Bibi Threads, we believe that every woman should be able to look and feel her best during this fantastic time in her life! Co-Founder Klarie Macias shares the passion that filled the purpose of Bibi Threads and how the company was born.

It was December 2017, and I had just had my first baby. I'll be honest with you, the only nursing bras I had were two that my mom had bought me and brought to the hospital. The thought of buying a nursing bra had not once occurred to me. Well, maybe it had happened to me, but all the ones I saw online looked like everything I did not want to wear. Frumpy, boring, and uncomfortable were those words that ran through my mind. I wasn't shocked to see so few options, but why? Just because a woman has a baby, does that mean she doesn't want to look cute? When I get dressed in the morning, part of what makes me feel good is what I wear under my clothes. If my bra says I look dull and saggy-boobed, that thought will stay with me.

I was frustrated enough that I told my husband one day, “You know, if I start a business, I will make nursing bras women want to wear, not ones they have to wear." Getting dressed in the morning should be a pleasure. It will help to choose pieces that express who you are and how you feel. I believe it starts with the first piece you put on. Bras should be beautiful and feel good and still be able to feed your baby. In this case, the function does not defeat form.
