Eye Mask

An ergonomic eye mask that blocks out light, so you can stay in your own zone in labour or rest more easily in the early weeks.

Soft contours follow your face without heavy pressure over the eyes, and an adjustable Velcro strap helps you get a comfortable fit.

When mums use it:

• Labour at home: fewer visual distractions, so you can focus on your breath, your partner's voice or your affirmations.
• A midwife-led unit or labour ward: useful if bright corridors or overhead lights bother you. It's worth adding to your bag.
• Rest in the early weeks: for daytime naps while your baby sleeps and the room is still light.

Who it's for: mums preparing for labour at home, in a midwife-led unit or on a labour ward, and new mums who want a simple, practical way to rest.

Note: this is not medical advice.
