MEET THE FOUNDER

Our Story: Born from a Mum's Need

Hi, I'm Shazmeen Arsha Gardiner, the founder of Milk on tap Clothing. Like you, I'm a breastfeeding mum, and my journey into motherhood was filled with incredible joy… and the very real, often messy, reality of breastmilk let-downs and leakage.

Those early days were a beautiful blur of newborn snuggles and round-the-clock feeds. But amidst the wonder, I found myself constantly dealing with unexpected wet patches. Whether I was out and about, in the middle of a conversation, or even just relaxing at home, the surprise of a let-down often left me feeling uncomfortable, damp, smelling like breast milk and constantly on guard with engorgement, clogged ducts and mastitis.

I tried countless breast pads on the market, hoping for a solution. Some were too small, not staying in place and did not provide enough coverage, others lacked the absorbency I desperately needed, and many felt rough and irritating against my sensitive skin. I remember thinking, "Surely there has to be a better way!"

That's when the idea for Milk on tap started to take shape. As a mum experiencing this firsthand, I knew exactly what was missing: a breast pad that was truly absorbent, incredibly comfortable, discreet enough to wear with confidence, and designed with the unique needs of breastfeeding mums in mind.

Driven by this personal frustration and a desire to create a better solution for myself and other mums, I embarked on a journey of research, design, and testing. I poured over materials, experimented with different constructions, and rigorously tested prototypes during my own breastfeeding journey. I knew it had to be perfect – because I would be using it myself, day in and day out.

After countless iterations and a lot of perseverance, the patented Milkontap breastpad was born. It wasn't just about creating another product; it was about solving a real problem and offering a sense of comfort and confidence that I knew other breastfeeding mums were longing for.

Milk on tap Clothing is more than just a brand; it's a reflection of my own experience and a testament to the power of a mum understanding another mum's needs. Every Milk on tap breast pad is made with the care and attention to detail that comes from someone who has been exactly where you are.

My hope is that Milk on tap will help you navigate your breastfeeding journey with greater ease and confidence, allowing you to focus on the precious moments with your little one without the worry of leaks and discomfort.

Thank you for being a part of the Milk on tap community. We're so glad you're here.

With love and milk-proof hugs,

Shazmeen Arsha Gardiner
