PregnancyGearGuide.com is an independent editorial site about pregnancy and postpartum gear: pillows, support bands, clothing, hospital bag items, recovery products, books and gifts. To keep our guides free to read, we work with affiliate programs.
What are affiliate links?
If you buy something through some of the links on our site, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. You never pay more because of this, and the price is the same as it would be without the link.
Amazon Associates
PregnancyGearGuide.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Our Amazon links carry the associate tag pregnancygearguide-20. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. We may also participate in similar affiliate or referral programs offered by other retailers and manufacturers.
Our recommendations are editorial
Commissions never decide what we recommend. No manufacturer pays for a placement, and no product is included because it earns more. Where the honest answer is that nothing needs to be bought, that a regular pillow or a rolled towel does the job, or that a question belongs with your midwife instead of a shopping cart, that is what we write.
Some subjects carry no product links at all. Articles about pregnancy tests, prenatal vitamin labels, inducing labor and anything where the answer is medical rather than material point to your healthcare provider instead, because a purchase is not the answer to those questions. Several brands also sell mostly through their own sites; where a product is not genuinely available at a retailer we can link to, we say so instead of pointing a button at the nearest listing.
We select on fit, on published manufacturer information and on reported owner experience, because we do not physically test products and do not claim to. We keep prices out of the written guides, since the current price is always on the retailer page.
