Boppy Pregnancy Wedge

Posted by Missy W. @ 8:20 AM

Boppy Pregnancy Wedge

I saw this Boppy pregnancy wedge pillow at Mimi Maternity the other day and thought Oh! The perfect solution to my sleep troubles (as if).

I planned on reviewing it, but that aint gonna happen. I opened up the packaging and the pillow smelled SO GNARLY. I smelled the bag to see if that was the issue, but nope, it was the foam. The sour chemical smell was overwhelming. After reading so much about safe bedding and all that rot, I decided that airing it out and hoping for the best was not an option. I then went over to the new Boppy pillow I just got, hoping it would smell better. It was fine, luckily made from materials other than total toxi-foam.

YUCK, Boppy-People, YUCK!

I bought 2 of these after reading reviews and they are useless! They are way too firm and just not comfortable…I ended up using regular pillows my whole pregnancy…wish I would’ve saved my money!

Hi Missy - that’s terrible! I use a small roll pillow for my legs but am thinking I need something later when I get bigger. I’m pregnant at 18 wks - so your blog has been super helpful with products and tips.

xo,
