Boots is now selling ‘cooling sheets’ for pregnant baby bumps

Boots has come to the rescue for long-suffering pregnant women in this heatwave with their innovative ‘cooling sheets’ designed especially for baby bumps.

It’s safe to say that the current heatwave gripping Greater Manchester and the rest of the UK is pretty unbearable for the best of us – but for pregnant women, it can be simply unliveable.

Warmer weather can be notoriously difficult for those who are carrying a baby, and cooling down can feel like an almost impossible task.

But now, Boots has come to the rescue.

The retailer is stocking the My Little Coco cooling sheet designed specifically to provide a cool bit of relief for pregnant baby bumps.

The sheet contains aloe vera extract for optimum hydration and rosehip to help reduce stretch marks. It arrives ready to use, and simply needs to be unfolded and smoothed out onto the contour of the stomach. The size is designed to be suitable for all stages of pregnancy.

The My Little Coco sheet is also suitable for sensitive skin and vegans, according to the Boots website.

The product was shared onto the popular Facebook page, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, where it proved to be a huge hit among sweltering expectant mothers.

One woman wrote: “Highly recommended these! Pop them in the fridge for a bit, perfect in this heat.” While another commented: “If only we’d known during the hottest summer on record when I was pregnant!”

Though, of course, the sheet mask doesn’t have to be used on just pregnant bellies – food babies need cooling down, too. One person wrote: “Can this be used by people that aren’t pregnant too? Not asking for a friend.. Asking for my chunky self.”
