Today I'm speaking with Tiffany Chiu from JulieMay Lingerie.  JulieMay Lingerie is the only underwear brand tested by dermatologists and certified by Allergy Free UK to be friendly for people with sensitive skin. Everything is made with certified organic Pima Cotton. The ethically-made collections are anti-hot flushes, and skin irritations and contain no synthetic, no harsh chemicals/harmful dyes. Across the range, they are also nickel-free and latex-free, with no exposed elastics that will rub against your skin. All underbands and waistbands are carefully wrapped with double-layered Pima Cotton, designed with 100% Pure Silk inner layers, perfect for those who have under-boob sweats or rashes on the breasts.

Tiffany shares what inspired her to set up her lingerie brand, how you go about certifying a product as allergy free and the materials they have to avoid. Tiffany also shares lots of useful information about how she has used awards to build her brand awareness and recognition, including tips on what sort of awards to enter and writing the applications.

It’s a great episode all about how someone saw a gap in the market, and filled it with a brilliant product that solves a problem for lots of people.
