I started Sustene to create the maternity underwear I wish I had when I was pregnant.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I couldn't find underwear options that fit well and were also made from non-toxic, organic materials I felt good about wearing against my skin.
Then, I was diagnosed with cancer on the eve of my son's birth. My husband and I started our new life as parents juggling newborn care with my intensive chemotherapy for the next five months. Experiencing both new parenthood and my first major health crisis at the same time only deepened my belief that we need better choices for our health, our environment, and the future world we are leaving our little ones.
I left my career as a lawyer to build Sustene because I couldn't stop thinking about how much better this product could be, and how routinely pregnant women are asked to settle for less.
Sustene's maternity underwear is designed to work for your body through every trimester and beyond. You deserve both clothing that fits and clothing that is made with materials you can feel good about.
