I Highly Recommend Design Veronique Maternity Bras!

I have tried three types of bras from this line and I wanted to share my feedback with other moms. My favorite bra is the Everyday Bra with Seamless Comfort Cups.  It incorporates the wide comfortable band around the midsection along with front and back clasp closures. It makes it extremely easy to put on, […]

Mariko’s Pick of the Week

Mid Body Support with Wireless Contouring Bra featuring Self-Adjusting Cups #MG160B This garment is one of my all-time favorites ever created by Design Veronique.  This is NOT your grandmother’s girdle!  It is most importantly helpful to the new mother dealing with considerable changes to her body.  It’s super cute and comfortable, slims down your waist […]

Comparing a Design Veronique Postpartum Garment to Wearing a Regular Girdle

Before my first son was born, a friend told me that wearing a girdle immediately after birth and beyond was a good way to help your stomach shrink after delivery.  So with my first son, I used a girdle and the results were good.  This pregnancy, I saw in some magazines that special garments were […]

Question of the Week

Question: I’m pregnant and due in early April.  I want to get the Mid Body Support Mid-Thigh but I’m a little worried that it might show if I were to wear a short dress. So I was thinking about the Mid Body Support Brief. Are they basically the same, besides the fact that one is […]

Design Veronique C-Section Garment

I have twins so it is unbelievably busy at my house!! I love the c-section garment! It has helped me immensely and made the recovery process so much more comfortable. I can’t say enough how much I love this product. Thank you so much!

Thank You!

Dear Mariko and everyone at DV-  I had the pleasure of speaking with Mariko (who is delightful) a few weeks ago before I had my son (my 3rd child in 3 years) and she was so helpful in giving me direction on which garment to select. I was scheduled for a c-section (my first) but […]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

What a brilliant idea to design a post-pregnancy girdle that gets tighter as you get smaller!  I had a baby 9 weeks ago and I’ve been using this thing for 3 weeks.  I love the fact that I can tighten the corset as needed.  It’s also nice to know that my waist is shrinking and […]

When should I begin wearing my postpartum girdle, and how long should I use it?

That’s an excellent question that I am happy to answer.

Wearing a support garment will promote:• […]

Your Letters

Mariko, you were right! The size 3 was perfect.  Thank you for all your help.  The empathetic approach you take with helping your customers is rare these days.  I feel like I have gained a friend through this whole postpartum girdle shopping experience.  I could not have gone through this alone. See you at the […]
