About Lactivist Bling
How it started
Lactivist Bling was set up after the huge demand for nursing necklaces sold on www.lactivist.co.uk meant that they needed a website all to themselves! Lactivist is the home of funky slogan t-shirts that promote breastfeeding and is run by a work at home mum who was once critisised for breastfeeding in public. Her reaction was to use her design skills to create a tiny pro-breastfeeding t-shirt for her son and Lactivist was born!
A Lactivist is a lactation activist, and Lactivists have a networking site at www.lactivist.net where you can read lots of useful articles and get the latest news about breastfeeding.
How Lactivist Bling works
When you place an order on Lactivist Bling it will go straight to the manufacturer and you will deal with them directly.
Payment
Lactivist Bling prefers payments through PayPal which is the safer, easier way to pay online. The service allows you to pay in any way you prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information.

Safety
Lait d'Amour safety statement:
Our hand made Nursing Necklaces are made from brightly coloured Non -Toxic acrylic beads and beaded using 100 lb - 300 lb tested cord. Our 300 lb tested Nursing Necklaces are by far the STRONGEST nursing necklaces available on the market! We do not use dangerous glass beads that can splinter or crack, and all our nursing necklaces areSafety Tested to British standards. BSEN 71-1:2OO5 clause 5.1 (toy standards).
We do not to use break-away clasps on our nursing necklaces. Apart from defeating the object of a nursing necklace (babies have a tendency to pull and play with these) customer experiences show that they pop open too often making them irritating to keep putting back on, plus they are prone to wear and tear (becoming even looser over time) and even run the risk of falling apart at the clasp. Other sellers claim that the knot is the weakest point. This not true. It is in our experience and PROVEN during safety testing - that our secure knoting methods ensure that Lait d'Amour nursing necklaces are the very strongest!
Please note: As confident as were are about our products, everyone should be aware of the possibility or rare, unforeseen accidents. No child should be left unsupervised with any type of jewelry because of the risk of possible strangulation or choking. Always use supervision when using your nursing necklace. We (Lait d'Amour) are not liable for any unforeseen accidents. These products are not recommended as teethers. Our product packaging will carry a safety label.
Babybeads safety statement:
Our necklaces are specifically made with safety in mind from fun colourful and attractive non-toxic acrylic beads. We do not use dangerous glass beads or wooden beads that may splinter. The necklaces are strung on ultra strong waterproof cord (not fishing line like some other necklaces on the market) tested to 100lbs (approximately 45kg) breaking strain and are knotted to minimise loss of beads in the unlikely event of a breakage. The necklace is secured very strongly using a unique knotting method.
Nursing Necklaces and Reminder Bracelets are not toys and due to the risk of strangulation they must never be worn by a baby or young child. It is our recommendation that it is only ever worn by a sensible adult. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the safety of our products Babybeads UK cannot be held responsible for any injury caused by our products. By buying from us you agree to take responsibility for the proper use of this product, ensuring full supervision at all times. When you are not wearing your necklace it must be kept out of the reach and sight of children. While safety is in the forefront with our designs, like anything it can pose a risk when used incorrectly.
Acquiescentbeauty safety statement:
We use magnetic clasps and natural silk to give the strongest possible thread for the crystal we use, our necklaces are to be used as a homeopathic remedy to help mother and baby bond and enjoy their time together. They are not nursing necklaces in the traditional sense and are not toys to be played with. However they are stronger than traditional jewellery and are designed to take the rough and tumble of daily life with your child. We use only natural materials and our crystals are sourced from the countries they are found in.
A child should not be left with any type of jewellery because of the risk of strangulation and choking hazards, so supervision is always needed but then I am sure parents do not need to be reminded that a child should not be left unattended.
L'Agulhas Baby safety statement
The bracelets we provide are normally finished with non-tarnishing stainless steel end balls, stainless steel wire and silver rhodium plated numbers, and will be supplied with a metal charm. The style of charm supplied may be subject to change, depending on availability. The components of these bracelets are sourced from reputable suppliers who comply fully with the EU Nickel Directives. Although best efforts are always made to ensure that the end balls are carefully and strongly fixed in place, these items of jewellery are not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of small children as beads may present a choking hazard.
Cleaning your Breastfeeding Jewellery
Nursing Necklaces and Reminder Bracelets are not sold as baby teethers therefore there is no real need to sterilise them
However all the Nursing Necklaces and Reminder Bracelets are 100% waterproof unless otherwise stated and therefore can be sterilised in cold water with the exclusion of necklaces with bells.
Wiping the beads with baby wipes is also very effective.
