Why we love Moloco
Moloco is the first brand that we have found that makes comfortable and fashionable maternity swimwear. We feel like a lot of the other brands, make pieces that are meant to be thrown away after you are finished breastfeeding. The swimwear that Moloco makes, makes you feel beautiful and empowered, it is truly a line that you will want to continue wearing for many years postpartum.

Where the name comes from
Moloko is a direct translation from Slavic for “milk” They changed the “k” to a “c” – a little softer around the edges. 🤍
