Bao Bei Body was created by a Women's Health Physical Therapist and Pilates Instructor. Our products are inspired by your active pregnancy and motherhood journey! Proudly made in the USA. 100% designed & manufactured in California.
At Bao Bei our goal is to be more than just a place you shop. Our desire is to be a trusted ally, a supportive friend, an encouraging advocate, and a helpful source of information.
Where We Come From
Bao Bei was created in 2006 when our founder, a then practicing physical therapist named Suzanne, noticed that her patients didn’t have the tools they needed to comfortably get through pregnancy. She began designing products that would support those who were looking to remain active and supported throughout their pregnancies and prevent them from turning to restrictive, ill-fitting girdles and binders that would squeeze their midsections and actually impede postpartum recovery. She started sharing her sample pieces with local Northern California mothers and officially launched Bao Bei at the Los Angeles Trade Show in September 2007. The Belly Sports Bra was officially born.
Fast forward to today, Bao Bei is still comprised of a small team of moms dedicated to providing support for people in all phases of their parenthood journey. We believe postpartum is forever and are constantly working to extend our reach so that everyone can feel supported, nurtured, and cared for through pregnancy and beyond.
What’s in a Name?
Bao Bei (pronounced Bow Bay) means something precious. The name was created in collaboration with a friend and artist of Chinese calligraphy, named Cheer. Together Suzanne and Cheer discussed the mission of Bao Bei, the meaning of the brand, and the message Suzanne wanted to impart to parents everywhere. They knew that the words Bao Bei would inspire and capture the intangible precious feeling of growing and nurturing another life and would embody all of what the company was hoping to achieve.
Intentional Design
Each product from our collection is intentionally created from start to finish. We begin with a design and test it again and again before it is ever publicly released. Each piece we make is more than just part of an outfit. We aim to create lasting support wear that will stand the test of time, and, most importantly, support a healthy pregnancy and postpartum. From our sizing to our fabric selection, nothing is chosen without thought and concern for those who are trusting us with their bodies.
As a promise to you, we are constantly striving to be more inclusive while maintaining our commitment to slow fashion and ethical production. Our goal is to continually expand our reach so that you feel supported, regardless of your size, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation,
Commitment to Sustainability
From the start, upholding ethical production has been a core tenet of Bao Bei. We use small batch production, ensuring both the quality of our product and the proper treatment of all those involved in manufacturing. From our fabric selection, to our sewing team, to our shipping team we work with small businesses to support our local economy and reduce our impact on the planet.
We are consistently upgrading our packaging to be more environmentally conscious and look for creative ways to use our fabric scraps so we can reduce waste. We are dedicated to supporting every caregiver, including Mother Earth.
Community Focus
Bao Bei will always strive to place our community first. We are who we are because of you. You really do matter to us. As a small business, we promise never to forget our roots and never to stop celebrating each and every purchase you make. You are the reason we are here, and we will continue honoring our commitment to you, to our community, and to our Earth. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time (hello@teambaobei.com) We look forward to the opportunity to support you and thank you for placing your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Team Bao Bei
I’ve tried many of these types of pants and honestly these are by far the best. Fits nicely - slims all your postpartum parts. Totally recommend.
These leggings are fantastic with a good compression and fit. However I would’ve rated higher if there was a way to stop them from rolling down at the top.
I like these leggings, but they are too short! I wish they had them in tall sizes. For reference, I am 5'10", and around 165 lbs (bought size large)
I was excited to try these, but I am disappointed with the quality of the fabric and fit given the price. The material is not very breathable and not quite as buttery as advertised. The fit isn't quite as hugging and snug as I was expecting it to be, so I find myself hoisting and adjusting the crotch area throughout the day. I want to return these, but I don't want to pay for the return shipment so I will keep them. I also have the bloomers, and I also find the fit a bit off--the lining around the butt feels loose and doesn't hug as much as I would expect with compression bloomers. I am 5'8 and 34 weeks pregnant, weighing about 200 lbs. I read good reviews, so I was willing to try these products, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed.
I love Bao Bei so much. From the belly support band to the hug tanks - BUT THESE LEGGINGS. Holy WOW! I have bought several different support leggings from other brands that everyone probably knows - (going to abbreviate the brands as I know some love them) as a big booty and thick thigh girl BF leggings were 1. Not supportive enough, the material was not soft and the crotch area went bad after 1 wear. PL leggings the legs were so small idk how any thick thigh girl could get them up because I couldn’t lol! And the material was terrible as well. BB leggings pretty much the same thing. Now Bao Bei - these are buttery soft, thick - but not too thick - material that is compressive for sure but the legs and booty fit in perfectly. They lift the butt and tuck that mom pooch quite nicely and if you get the right size they don’t roll down! These are a must and I’ll be replacing all my other leggings with these. I’m so beyond in love - don’t worry about the price they will pay for themselves in the confidence you get back. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
