During pregnancy, women’s bodies release special hormones that cause connective tissue and joints to relax and loosen in preparation for childbirth. This effective evolutionary development is one of the many miracles that make childbirth possible. However, the natural structural changes that occur in hip width can also make it nearly impossible for new moms to fit back into their favorite pre-pregnancy jeans. The inventors of the HipSlimmer know moms want their figures back in shape ASAP, and offer a timely solution!

Many parents don’t have the luxury of a large garage or spacious spot to accommodate all their family “wants,” so they quickly learn to focus on family “needs” instead. However, even storing necessities alone can be a real challenge in a studio or tiny apartment. For families with small children, a stroller is essential, but strollers can take up a lot of valuable room and add little aesthetic appeal to a stylish apartment. MetroTOTS understands this dilemma for urban dwellers living in small spaces, and offers the very necessary, one-and-only, StrollAway — an ingenious over-the-door storage solution that neatly tucks away bulky strollers.

Beba Bean began its business by solving a piddly diapering problem parents of boys know all too well — avoiding getting showered by the fountain of youth! After the birth of her second child, Alex, Lisa Malcic noticed that no product existed to prevent wee willie’s weeing all over her and her husband, Peter. Thus, she was inspired to create the Pee-pee Teepee™, the topper that conveniently contains old faithful’s trouble that starts with a “P”!

It can be a company’s worst nightmare when a consumer is indifferent with respect to their product. If there’s nothing compelling to convince consumers to choose between one product over another, price or possibly the flip of a coin may decide the purchase.

Consumers seek out established brands, which in turn motivates retailers to seek out these brands to sell in their stores.

As the owner of No Slippy Hair Clippy ®, Annie Salyer is immersed in all things girly — bows, ribbons, flowers, barrettes, and fabric. But this mother of two boys isn’t complaining. “Honestly, I think most girls love hair accessories,” she says. “I grew up with four sisters, and we were always putting clips, ribbons and bows in our hair. I definitely have more of a passion now, especially after serving as the sole Hair Clippy designer the past six years.”
