Most women in childbirth are healthy and need to be active - so why
shouldn't you look and feel that way? BINSI® is the only labor and birth
apparel designed by a birth doula and mother of three to work well for midwives, doctors, nurses, anesethsiologists, doulas - and most of all you! Our designs were tested and evaluated by mothers and all other birth professionals to make sure that they are the best design possible. BINSI® skirts fit below your belly, so they won't irritate your sensitve skin during contractions or interfere with monitoring. They are adjustable, so they fit your ever changing figure easily, all while keeping you covered and comfortable so you can focus on what's really important. BINSI® tops have clasps on the front straps that unhook to accommodate breastfeeding and medical equipment. They also have side snaps to allow the top to be partially, or completely, removed with ease. Make sure to put BINSI® in your birth plan and go over it with your health provider before your big day.

Who knows, you might already be wearing your BINSI® clothes when you
go into labor! If you’re not, you can put them on either before
you leave for the hospital, before you are asked to change into the gown, or when
you are checked into your room. This is your big day, so put it on whenever
you like!
If you are giving birth at a hospital, you may be surprised at how
much courage it takes to ask for things that are important to you. But doctorss and nurses
want the same outcome you do: a happy patient that has a good experience.
Whether it is the courage to ask to wear your BINSI® clothes, or something
(anything!) else that you feel you need—all you need to do is
ask. The clothes were truly designed and tested with all the medical interventions,
so you can bring a brochure (download it from the web or request
one with your order), or just show them how it works. You’ll be
surprised by their reaction once they see how easy it is for them to
work with too!
We've designed and tested all of our clothing to accommodate any medical equipment
you might need or choose - even the epidural. Both the Go Go Top and
the Thankini have clasps on the front straps that unhook, clearing the
way for monitors and medical equipment alike. They also have side snaps
to allow partial or complete removal during epidural administration; or so you can
take it off quickly and easily without having to thread it over the
IV pole, or over your head. So no matter how you choose to give birth,
BINSI® wants to empower you to look and feel comfortable, and as like yourself as possible.
You may wear any of our clothing before your cesarean, and afterward. Depending on your incision however, the skirts are GREAT for the first weeks postpartum because the skirts rest below your incision, and won’t irritate it. That said,
during a cesarean, you won't be wearing anything. For sterile reasons of course!
We at BINSI® believe that birth is a normal and natural process and women
are designed to birth their babies and instinctively know how to do so.
We also believe that our birth apparel helps women have a more normal and comfortable
birth experience - wherever they are birthing. Our culture has
turned birth into a medical emergency, rather than a natural, normal experience. We want
to help women move and work with their bodies while laboring, and often medical equipment and the environment
can inhibit that ability. Whether it is modesty or inadequate clothing, we feel
that our birth apparel offers a wonderful alternative. We do
NOT encourage the use of medical intervention, but we do support a woman's ability to
make informed choices for herself and her baby. We also sympathize that too often
women need to convince their doctors that our clothing will work with their medical
equipment "just in case", and that is why we mention our apparel's ability to work with the equipment
repeatedly. We feel that in changing what women wear while they labor, we are
changing the way women look and feel about themselves, helping to
normalize the experience, showing doctors that laboring women are not sick and can move
and birth their babies naturally.
Oh dear. Well, that is always a possibility in childbirth. But since
the skirt does not hang between your legs, most often, it’s only
soiled if you sit on it. But, you know, if it does get dirty while you
are in labor you can simply throw it in the washer and dryer when you get home, all items are
machine washable.
BINSI® clothes are stylish and comfortable, and are designed to support
you before, during and after labor. They are great for prenatal yoga,
Pilates, lounging and stretching, not to mention a walk to the park
with someone special. You might find they become your favorite things
to wear - long before you deliver, and well into the months that follow
too. Wear them in great health and joy!
Because BINSI® is made for giving birth and we know how sensitive skin
is during labor! We designed BINSI® clothing without those scratchy tags
that can irritate your sensitive skin. Ok. We’ll admit that there
IS a care instruction label on the inside—but that can easily
be removed.
Whether you are at a baby shower, blessingway ceremony, or home by
yourself, stringing your beads on can be a powerful and beautiful experience.
What we had in mind is like this: string 4 beads on one side of the
drawstring and tie a knot at the end of the ribbon. Then put the last 4 beads on
the other side and tie a knot at that end. For baby showers, or blessingway
ceremonies, you can give each person a bead, then pass the BINSI® skirt around
so everyone can string on a bead and offer a prayer and blessing to
the mother. You can do this during the shower, or have it by the gift
table and have each person put the bead on before they leave. After
all the beads have been added, tie a knot at the other end and disperse
beads evenly. A truly powerful way to start one of the most amazing times
in your life!
