Okay ladies — today we are going to get a bit personal and talk about breasts. Are you blessed in that department? If so, you might notice some discomfort when you sleep at night. Well, I am here to say that thanks to Bosom Buddy, your breasts will be thanking you!
So what is the Bosom Buddy? It’s a small pillow that you can put in your tank top or sports bra that gives some support to your breasts while you sleep.
From their website:
The bosombuddy breast pillow is very portable and easy to use. Its compact, contoured design consists of a high-quality memory foam core with a soft, removable cover made of washable Polartec® wicking fabric that is pleasant against the body, night-sweat friendly and slip resistant. Place the pillow between breasts for cool comfort, and even use a body pillow for added overall comfort.
I’m not even going to lie to you, I was completely skeptical about this product because they say its for women who fall into the following categories:
• Women who have a C-cup or larger
• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Women who have had breast reconstruction or augmentation
• Women who have had or are waiting for a breast reduction
• Women who are recovering from cardio-thoracic surgery
• Women who are developing wrinkling or creasing of the upper chest
While I am a C-cup I don’t fit into any of the other categories. I tried it every night for a week and I loved it. It’s super comfortable and really helped to relieve some soreness that I was experiencing due to changing my birth control pills. I was having a hard time getting my body to regulate to it. I was amazed at how much better the Bosom Buddy made me feel.
Reading further about the product made me like it even more. Bosom buddy is environmentally friendly, made from recycled materials. They are also trying to help prevent breast cancer. A percentage from the purchase of every Bosom Buddy goes to support breast care for uninsured women. Having just lost an old friend (who was entirely too young) to Stage 4 breast cancer this week, that really hit close to home.
The woman who created the Bosom Buddy - Rebecca Mann Kass – was the youngest bone marrow donor ever at the time for her sister who had cancer. Her story is quite inspiring and from it she created an amazing product.
The Bosom Buddy retails for $39.95, but is currently on sale for the New Year at $32.95 and can be purchased directly from their website. You can also follow up with them on Facebook.

I can see how this can be helpful. I could really use one of those, especially in “those days” when my breasts really stat to act out.
Awesome! Being more than blessed with breast, I would LOVE to try this pillow. I wake up all the time to re-adjust or separate them for air! This is a wonderful idea, and I’m glad to see proceeds go to such a worthy cause.
I’ve always just bunched up the blankets in that spot… I can definitely see how this could be a nice replacement for that. Thanks for sharing.
My breasts are a DD and I often just try to wedge my arm between them. I am a side sleeper and it feels uncomfortable when one “hangs” down one side so much. i already wear a bra at night to keep “them” in check but it just doesnt hold it up. I am afraid that my breasts will be hanging soon. this would so help trying to be positive about my large breasts
I am a D cup and about 8 months pregnant, so they are about to get bigger again. I would hope it would help with the sleeping discomfort that can sometimes happen. I doubt I could breastfeed with it in though, any thoughts?
As a J-cup while nursing, that sounds SO helpful! Sleep bras can only do so much.
I love my large breast but they are a pain in the back! Any relief is welcomed.
This would be awesome and so helpful to have when they are a bit more tender and sensitive than normal. At that time sleeping in any position is uncomfortable

I guess would be a relief for any woman with that problem.
I get sore breasts during PMS and pregnancy
I am a 36HH and would love some relief!!!! this is the first I ever saw of this and it is an amazing idea. WOULD LOVE to win it!
I fit a few of those – D cup, and newly pregnant. This would definitely come in handy.
I notice I have wrinkles on my chest… I guess from my breast hanging down while asleep… So this pillow will be a blessing!
I am about to have a masectomy and i am a 40 D and a side sleeper. I hope this would help me post surgery.
It would certainly help a lot – because it’s very uncomfortable to sleep without any support (DD here)
This would really help my ‘buddies’! Lol! Love this idea!
The support would be great, would help a lot
I think it would help a lot.
This is brilliant. I think it would be a huge help for night-time discomfort!
This would be so helpful for me! I’m breastfeeding and my breasts feels so uncomfortable at night while sleeping.
Sometimes you just need something between your breasts to get comfortable enough to fall asleep on your side. This sounds just right.

I could really use one of those, especially during PMS.
Thanks for the chance!
It can help me when I’m laying on my side. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would LOVE to try this pillow. I’m breastfeeding and my breasts feels so uncomfortable at night while sleeping. Thanks so much for the fantastic giveaway!

It would help with my sore back.
I am pregnant (24 weeks right now) and planning to breast feed. I have to say, the ta-ta’s are already growing and having to sleep on my side makes them a bit uncomfortable when I sleep. I would LOVE to try the Bosom Buddy!
I can’t have enough pillows and always sleep with one between my breasts. How perfect to have a perfect pillow for the occasion. wowowow
I always sleep with a pillow kinda between them to help me sleep but always have to readjust thru the night. Never heard of this pillow before but would love to trip it and see if it helps
This would be helpful for my big ladies since I am breastfeeding for the next year or so!
After I stopped laughing I definitely can see the value in this pillow. I hate how heavy my breasts feel and this would help with the pain associated.
This would be great I think it could cut back on back pain!

As I am reaching perimenopause and the “girls” have gotten a bit bigger. I have developed a bit of a sweating pattern right there between them .This would help in that not happening.
My daughters sleep nude and she would simply love this for support.
I’m a DD cup. You better believe a pillow is what my girls need.
that is a great invention, i gotta try that.
I would love this! I think I would rest better!

I wear a 38 H, my insurance will not cover a reduction. I have been looking for something to relieve my neck/back pain. I have started with osteopenea. I would love to test your product.
I think the bosom buddy would help the neck pains I’ve been having. thanks!
While I’m pregnant and nursing, I could really use something like this! My breasts get very sore and uncomfortable, and I have to lay on my side during pregnancy! Awesome idea!
Well, not sure if it will help me or not till we give her a whirl. A unique idea for sure!
id like to try this because im already developing creasing! Id love to see how this changes that. jmmccarr@gmail.com
Actually I don’t think it would be me personally, but it would likely help my girl, who has to be given breast massages regularly because of her size (seriously).
This product sounds great my chest is on the larger side so this would be great to try
I would give this to my daughter who is 16 and has DD.
it would help me i’m heavily endowed- love this concept
As a 38E I love this concept. I’ve never thought there was much to do about it but am always readjusting in the night.
Does this thing help with the night sweat’s? I wake up drowning myself some night!
Would love to try this! Perhaps then I could stop “supporting myself” with one hand while I sleep.
Right now I am expecting and when sleeping I do have to be very careful because my breast are so tender right now and this would help me through the night of rolling over in any position that makes me comfortable not my breasts (LOL)
I had a breast reduction 5 weeks ago, and didn’t know this existed! Would love it! Thanks!
I would LOVE to try this!! I sleep on my side, and since I am DD, and “the girls” are starting to droop, they actually pull on my back, so I have pain all around. This would help keep them from pulling. Great invention!!!!
I am hoping this will help me sleep at night. It looks like it is very comffy
This would be great when I am nursing.
I am currently expecting my first child. I’ve never had issues until the recent sudden growth of my breasts. The aches are my main concern. However, I am also interested in the Bosom Buddy pillow as a preventative measure for slowing down the aging process!
After having nursed all seven of my children…I would love to try this support
I wish I had known this existed during my first two pregnancies! We are on our third and final, and this would have been a lifesaver. With my first I woke up in tears almost every night, thankfully it has not been as bad this time. Even not being pregnant, this would be an excellent product to try. This can take the place of my strategically placed body pillow!
I think it would be a great help. With nursing, I struggle to be comfortable at night. I’m still not quite used to my new body!
Have never heard of such a thing like this before.
I think this is a great invention and think it would help me stay comfortable while I sleep.
I feel like my chest is the one thing that gives my age away. I’m a side sleeper and it shows! This would be fab!
I think this would help me a lot. I’m a side sleeper, and I know this can cause some “problems” as my skin (sadly) ages.
I would like to win this for my daughter who has large breasts and discomfort

I am hoping it would help with support and maybe it would even help stop back pain!

I’m a thin girl, but I have DDD’s!!!! Yep, you heard that right – all naturale too! This would really be handy for the ladies at night.
I am a 38 DD and always have back/neck pain. I would love to give this product a try and see if it helps!
I would love to win this.. Not for myself though because unfortunately I need something for it to hold up LOL But a good friend of mine could really benefit from this.
I would love to try this. I’m using the “Donut” right now..but it is too bulky..
I think Bosom Buddy with also keep my chest wrinkles at bay.
this would be for a friend who is breast feeding and i think she would love it
Comfort at night would be great

Oh my goodness! I’ve been waiting on something like this for my whole life. I hate sleeping without a bra because its uncomfortable. So now us ladies with larger chests have this! awesome!
I think this could help me with my premenopausal symptoms I am dealing with. Thanks for the chance.
I am constantly rough-housing with my 5 year old son and try to stay active in sports, so my breasts definitely take a beating
At night all I want to do is get comfortable in bed…but I can’t. It takes me a good 5-10 mns to get adjusted because my breasts get in my way. It’s also kinda hard to breathe if I don’t lay just right, too. This seems like a perfect solution! I would love, love, love to win this. Pick me, please!
I would love this since i’m nursing my baby.
I’M HOPING IT WILL HELP STOP SAGGAGE THAT COMES WITH AGE! I HATE WEARING A BRA TO BED SO YOU CAN IMAGINE…
I am so uncomfortable when I sleep because of my large breasts. I cant sleep on my side or stomach because of them. I didnt know something like this existed. I would love to try this!!!
This would be amazing for me, I’m currently breastfeeding and this would help me to be so much more comfortable at night!
I’m starting to get the dreaded ‘ creasing’. I’d love to give this a try.
My husband would love it if I won this, as a have spent years sleeping with a blanket between my girls!
I’ve got big breasts that tend to saaaaaag to the side when I sleep – this’d help a ton!
I always feel crushed and sore in the morning… I’m hoping this will help!
I told my husband that I would love one of these when I saw it in a magazine the other day… So guess what I just got for Valentine’s Day!!! LOVE IT ALREADY!!! 36DD
So happy you love it Karey!! Happy Valentines. Rebecca (creator of the bosombuddy)
OMG!!!! This is just what i need. For about a year now i’ve noticed the lines on my chest and kept putting lotion on before bed hoping they would go away. I was going to try the Decollette pad but I’m also pregnant now and think this will be a better fit. Can’t wait to try it!
I saw this product and was so excited!! I am constantly putting paper towels or blankets between my breasts when I am trying to sleep. I am a DDD and have severe atopic dermatitis. Skin on skin contact can be very painful for me and cause rashes and severe itching. This product would help me catch up on some of the many hours of sleep I have lost.
