About Bosom Buddies
Invaluable mobile bra fitting service for nursing and expectant mums. Supplied and fitted there and then in the comfort of your own home or at hospital.
Bosom Buddies Description
Bosom Buddies is a unique home and hospital bra fitting service, dedicated totally to ensuring the comfort of nursing and expectant mothers. It was founded in 1993 by our highly experienced nursing bra fitter Jo Dunn, and has been helping mums all over Glasgow, Lanarkshire Ayrshire and beyond to have a better pregnancy and breast feeding experience, by taking the stress out of bra shopping at a time when many mums simply cannot face high street shops and feel at their most vulnerable. The service is widely recommended by all of the Glasgow /Paisley maternity units, where Jo visits the mums- to- be at their breast feeding workshops to offer advice and give them the opportunity to organise their fitting in preparation for birth. Most mums have their bras fitted at home where they feel comfortable and have total privacy, before they have their babies, but Jo is there to rescue the ones who end up in hospital early, deliver unexpectedly at home or have simply bought the wrong size or the wrong type of bra for their needs prior to birth.
Jo is present at the Breastfeeding Workshops held in the Southern General, Victoria Infirmary, Princess Royal Maternity, Royal Alexandra in Paisley and Rutherglen Maternity Care Centre, at the invitation of the midwives, who recognise the need for this service, and she is now on her second generation of nursing mothers, who continue to appreciate her expertise. Bosom Buddies use Emma Jane bras, a well respected name in nursing underwear, who have 30 years experience in the field of nursing rather than fashion garments, using fabrics and styles that are correct for nursing and help to minimise the risk of breastfeeding issues such as thrush and mastitis.
The hospital service is well used by mums with babies in special care or who are in for a longer period and need urgent attention and the home service is in constant demand, as many mums are referred by the community midwifery teams after birth, should they need a fitting as quickly as possible.
Our commitment at Bosom Buddies is to help nursing mums as quickly as we can, and many mums have said that had the service not been available they would have considered giving up breastfeeding.

love this! jo coming to the house makes life with a newborn so much easier! I had a sore back due to a poor fitting bra that I had been measured for in a store. now I have a proper fit the difference is amazing! Thank you! xx
Wow! What an incredible lady Jo is! Just been fitted for a nursing bra and sleep vest in the comfort of my own home. Cannot get over how well they fit compared to the ones I've tried on the high street. Jo knows her stuff and makes you feel completely at ease. Will be recommending to all my pregnant/mum friends! Xx
Would highly recommend. Best feeding bras and vests, fitted in the comfort of your own home by such a lovely lady. If only more shopping experiences were the same, especially when you're heavily pregnant.
Would highly recommend Jo. She is a lovely lady and provides a superb service. I feel like I have had a boob lift, all thanks to some nice new bras!!Thank you so much Jo �
What an amazing service. It's so hard to get out to try but nursing bras with a newborn and it's such an important essential. Jo is very friendly and genuine and offers a fantastic service.
Thank you to Jo for my new bras. Fab and quick service. It’s great to have a nursing bra that fits!! �
Thank you so much jo. Glad to get measured again after having Holly and not having to fit in travelling to a decent fitter around the.3 kids. Really happy with my bra, feels so much better than was previously wearing x
Thank you Jo for coming to see me yesterday. A brilliant service! Perfect for 5 days after our baby arrived and getting out of the house isn't so easy! X
Such an amazing service. Jo was very friendly and fitting carried out in the comfort and privacy of my own home. The bras I bought are very comfortable and great quality. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Jo was amazing - can’t recommend this experience enough rather than trying fit in a teeny fitting room in a shop in town! Knows her stuff, happy to give advice and recommendations on other maternity problems and really reasonable prices! x
Jo is fantastic. Such a lovely lady, makes you feel very comfortable and she defo knows her stuff regarding size and what's best for you. Thanks Jo. xxx
Jo is fantastic at what she does. Great products and well priced. Great advice and after care. Thank you!
Jo came out to my house today, 10 minutes later the joy of wearing a properly fitted bra was immense. Jo was friendly, punctual and very knowledgable and I would highly recommend. Thank you Jo!
I met Jo recently at the RAH breastfeeding education class and everything she said made complete sense so booked her for bra fitting today. Jo was so friendly and informative and I am now set up and ready with correct and comfortable products waiting for our wee bundle to arrive any day now. Thanks again for all your help xx
I can't thank Jo enough!! This is the second time Jo has come to measure me and what a difference she has made. Have recommended her to my friends and would definitely call her again! X
I can't recommend this service more. What a nightmare I had getting proper nursing bras, especially as our son is in SCBU after an unexpected early delivery, we don't have much time on our hands to go shopping!
Jo visits our house, within 5 minutes I'm sorted out with great fitting nursing bras, and also boobie cold/hot packs absolutely delighted!
Thank you.
Cannot recommend Jo enough. I was struggling with huge engorged boobs and wearing a shop bought maternity bra which was giving me no support. Jo came to my house and within 20minutes I had 2 bras and 2 feeding tops which fit me perfectly and give me so much support. Feeding is now easier, more comfortable and my boobs are now under control 😁 Will be recommending Jo to just about everyone! Thanks again!
Can not fault Jo. Lovely person, great service, wonderful bras! (And not as dear as I imagined.) Would recommend to all. Thank you!
