The Shower Hug by Belmama and Cherub is a versatile breast soother for the use in the shower or bath.
Pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding. A marathon welcome to motherhood! Needless to say, our bodies go through a lot, especially our breasts and nipples, and most moms understand the extent of breast pain and tenderness associated with pregnancy and early stage breastfeeding. Sore breasts deserve a bit of TLC and the Shower Hug™ provides it!
The Shower Hug™ brings therapeutic relief that is long lasting, by providing support and relief when and where it is needed most. For many Moms, their only “me-time” in a day is their time spent showering. We believe that showers are a time to cleanse the body and renew the spirit. They are about rituals. They are about relaxation. They are a mini “time-out” and sore boobs should not get in the way of Mom’s precious time alone! Made in the USA.
For use in the shower:
- Provides gentle bust-line support for full and engorged breasts (particularly important when breast milk first comes in and when weaning!!)
- A soft barrier between Mom’s delicate breast tissue and pelting shower streams
- Protection from harsh ingredients in toiletries
- A soothing warm compress affect to ease pain associated with engorgement, plugged milk ducts and mastitis
For use outside the shower:
Mom may also wear her Shower Hug outside of the shower to hold therapeutic warm or cool packs with hands free convenience, and it is the perfect breast support to sleep in! It is nonrestrictive, super soft, absorbent and easy to nurse baby while wearing.
Other uses:
- Perfect for wear during water birthing
- Comforts, protects & supports C-section tummies
- Eases cyclical breast pain & mastalgia
- Soothes breast pain related to breast cancer treatment & breast surgery recovery

Locate your pre-pregnancy bra size in the left hand column on the chart below. The column to the right shows the proper size Shower Hug to purchase. If your bra size does not fall into one of the categories shown on our sizing chart, then go by the size sports bra you wore before you were pregnant. For example, if you typically wore a Small or Medium sports bra before you were pregnant, then order a S/M Shower Hug. If you typically wore a Medium or Large sports bra, then order a M/L Shower Hug.
Bear in mind that each Shower Hug comes with a 4” Velcro closure to provide for size adjustability and to allow Mom to obtain her ideal fit and level of support. Moms’ bodies change drastically over the course of pregnancy and breastfeeding, so the adjustable 4” wide closure allows Mom to enjoy her Shower Hug for a long period of time.

What type of fabric is the Shower Hug made of?
The Shower Hug is made of the highest quality knit terry velour. It has a gentle stretch built-in, to provide you with bust-line support needed during pregnancy and after your little cherub has arrived. The fabric is super soft and will add comfort and luxury to every shower. Available in white with slate blue trim or white with petal pink trim.
The Shower Hug has gone Green - Introducing the ORGANIC Shower Hug! Made from the softest 80% organic / 20% eco-spun stretch terry with all the same great features of our standard Hugs. Available in natural beige color with sage trim.
How do I wear and adjust the Shower Hug?
Simply wrap the Shower Hug around your bust and attach the Velcro closure along the front midline of your chest. The Shower Hug should fit snuggly when dry. This will ensure adequate bust-line support and prevent sagging when wet.
How should I wash the Shower Hug?
We recommend washing the Shower Hug in a gentle detergent free of dyes, perfumes and other additives that may irritate your tender skin or the tender skin of your little one as he or she snuggles close to your chest. After use, just wring out the excess water and toss it in with your next load of baby clothes. Care instructions can be found on the care label of each Shower Hug.
Does the Shower Hug sag when wet?
No. Although the Shower Hug will become slightly heavier when wet, it will never sag or become uncomfortable to wear. The fabric is made of stretch terry and is perfectly suited for wet conditions!
Andria Sgro’s life and dreams changed forever when she learned she was pregnant with her first son. Andria, who once enthusiastically worked as a CPA, quickly forgot about the world of numbers and analytics with one glance at her little one. Never was she so fulfilled or content than in her new role as “Mama.”
It was in her new role as stay-at-home Mom that she conceived the idea for the Shower Hug. “The idea struck me when I was struggling to comfortably shower in the early days of motherhood and breastfeeding. My breasts were so engorged and tender, and my nipples were cracked and bleeding. The force of the shower sprays hitting my chest was just too painful to tolerate. My solution at the time was to hold a heavy towel over my chest with one hand, while I shampooed, conditioned, soaped and shaved with the other. I had looked forward to the solitude of long, hot shower all day but, as soon as I stepped in, I was hurrying to get out.”
Andria founded Belmama & Cherub LLC and began production of the Shower Hug in 2006, just one day after her son’s first birthday. She treasures each day, knowing life’s most beautiful gifts are beside her in her husband and two young children. “As a stay-at-home enterprising Mom, work gets done at the strangest hours, but I love working on ‘mommy-care’ products. Moms don’t put themselves first, it’s not in a Mom’s nature to do so, and that’s why I am here! To provide Moms just a portion of the TLC they selflessly give every day.”
Andria was born and raised in the small town of Ewing, N.J. She graduated from the Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania in 1998. She resides in San Diego, C.A. with her husband and two young children and manages Belmama & Cherub LLC with her most trusted confidant, sister and partner Alaina Tonelli.
