HerPillow Co. Proudly Supports Transgender Men and Women Through Every Stage of Pregnancy


At HerPillow Co., we believe that every pregnancy is valid—no matter the gender identity of the person experiencing it. We know that transgender men, transgender women, nonbinary, gender non-conforming, and two-spirit individuals all deserve dignified, inclusive, and supportive care—especially during pregnancy, one of life’s most vulnerable and transformative journeys.


Our mission is not only to provide exceptional comfort through our pregnancy pillows, but also to uplift and affirm all types of families, all body types, and all gender identities with compassion, education, and action.

🌈 Understanding Trans Pregnancy


Many people assume that only cisgender women become pregnant—but in reality, trans men and nonbinary individuals can and do carry children. Some transgender women may also pursue parenthood through surrogacy or other forms of assisted reproduction, and they, too, deserve to be part of the conversation and care.


Pregnancy can be physically challenging, but for trans individuals, it often comes with added emotional burdens, such as:


Gender dysphoria due to body changes


Lack of inclusive healthcare providers


Misgendering in medical spaces


Limited resources tailored to their experience


Stigma and discrimination from society



At HerPillow Co., we don’t shy away from these realities—we respond to them with intentional design, inclusive messaging, and unwavering support.

🛏️ Products Designed for All Pregnant Bodies


HerPillow Co. creates ergonomic, soft, supportive pregnancy pillows—but we go further by ensuring our designs are gender-affirming and inclusive. Here’s how:


✅ Gender-Neutral Branding


You won’t find phrases like “just for moms” or overly feminine packaging on our products. Our branding and materials are carefully worded and illustrated to reflect a diverse range of parents—including men, women, and everyone in between.


✅ Comfortable, Dysphoria-Sensitive Shapes


Our pillows are crafted to support chests, hips, bellies, and backs without forcing users into hyper-gendered designs. Whether you’ve had top surgery, are experiencing chest dysphoria, or just want neutral comfort—our pillows support you as you are.


✅ Customization Options


We offer optional personalized pillowcases and body-positive journal inserts that include pronoun options, name fields, and messages like:


> "Dear Parent, You Are Brave. You Are Valid. You Are Creating Life."

 


💬 Affirming Language in Everything We Do


Language matters. At HerPillow Co., we use inclusive terms across our website, packaging, guides, and social content. We refer to:


“Pregnant people” or “expecting parents”


“Birthing bodies,” “surrogates,” and “gestational parents”


Your chosen name and pronouns



We believe that language is a form of respect, and we will never assume your identity based on your body or pregnancy.

🤝 Building Community and Representation


HerPillow Co. is actively building partnerships with:


Trans-led advocacy groups


LGBTQ+ midwives and doulas


Online queer pregnancy forums


LGBTQ+ family resource centers



We also feature real stories from trans dads, nonbinary parents, queer couples, and surrogates on our blog and social platforms. We amplify these voices because we believe visibility reduces shame and stigma.


📚 Educating and Advocating for Better Pregnancy Care


Pregnancy resources have historically excluded trans experiences. That’s why HerPillow Co. is taking steps to change that:


Creating trans-affirming pregnancy journals


Developing free guides on trans birth plans


Offering discounts to LGBTQ+ nonprofit partners


Providing inclusive postpartum recovery tips



We are committed to educating both parents and providers, because true support goes beyond products—it’s about reshaping the pregnancy space to include everyone.

🏳️⚧️ Our Stance: Trans Rights Are Human Rights


HerPillow Co. proudly stands in solidarity with the transgender community—not just during Pride Month, but every single day. We are committed to:


Fighting for inclusive healthcare


Donating a portion of proceeds to trans-led organizations


Hiring trans voices in our content creation


Advocating for respectful, affirming pregnancy care across the globe



To us, this is not a trend—it’s a core value.
