One quick glance at our size chart, and you'll discover that one measurement is all you need
Even with limited mobility, most women won't need help (a win for independence and modesty)
We took away the seams and underwires, the tight straps and shoulder pain, rigidity and restrictions, and delivered.... ahhhhh.
You won't even need the delicate cycle (we've even tested ours by washing with mop heads and dog beds)
There's no need to "handle with care" or replace every few months.
We've worn our bras for days, sleeping in them overnight, heading to the gym, and hiking outdoors.
Holli Markwald, CEO, Owner, leads the team of dedicated, quirky and totally appreciated Prairie Wear professionals - super amazing folks from all over the world with different areas of expertise, a whole lot of personality, and a huge passion for life with the goal of generating positive global impact, one person and one design at a time :)
Holli wears a Hugger every day, is always the first to wear-test new designs, and she’s also the one tossing the bras into the laundry with dog beds and mop heads to be sure they hold up and won’t need to be handled with delicate care!
Others are taking note of Prairie Wear's success too: Holli has been nominated as one of RBC's Women of Influence for three years running. High five!
If you ever have the pleasure of speaking with our Support & Education Teams, then you already know how serious we are about "Communities of Support" and how thankful we are for the opportunity to share our Huggers with you :)

Prairies are strong, resilient & beautiful - like you!
Our hearts are tied to the expansive blue sky and endless green fields of the ever-changing, always strong prairie landscape.
Even when the sky isn't blue and the fields are not green, we carry with us the knowledge the sky will once again be blue and the wildflowers will continue to bravely peek out in the spring after a harsh winter.
Our Prairie Wear circle symbolizes the blue sky, green fields and the horns & wings of Prairie beings on the horizon within the global circle of life.
Pretty wordy, we know, so take a minute to just visualize the powerful prairie spirit - with her blue sky, green fields, animals grazing & birds flying in connection with each other.
We super appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your landscape :)
Our Huggers are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified!
What does that mean to you?
Every component of our Huggers, including our high-performance, antibacterial yarn, is made from materials that are tested and certified as safe for direct skin contact.
Also, just as important to us, the materials themselves were manufactured sustainably and safely.
