Bump Boxes begins providing breast pumps to expecting Moms
Apr. 28, 2020 (PEORIA, Ill.)—Bump Boxes, the #1 pregnancy subscription box, aims to ease and accelerate the process for expecting mothers to claim a free breast pump with insurance.
All from the Bump Boxes website, Moms will be able to fill out an easy-to-use application form with their insurance provider, and once coverage is verified, Bump Boxes will get a prescription from your doctor. From there, Moms will be able to select which breast pump is best for her and baby and have the breast pump shipped straight to her—for little to no out-of-pocket cost.
“Our goal is to make it easier for Mom to receive a breast pump when she needs it, and reduce the waiting time to receive it,” Christine Deehring, CEO and co-founder of Bump Boxes, said. “We want Mom to have the best products in her hands exactly when she needs them. Most health insurance providers are required to provide breastfeeding support, counseling, and equipment—which includes the cost of a pump.”
Without insurance, breast pumps can cost anywhere between $15 and $2,000, depending on if they are manual or electric.
“We want to alleviate any headache or confusion Mom could have during the process of selecting a breast pump that’s right for her,” CPO and co-founder of Bump Boxes Leland Deehring said. “We essentially take all of the work out of this for Mom—she just has to fill out an application form, and we take care of everything else for her.”
Moms interested in getting their breast pump through Bump Boxes are able to select between a variety of brands depending on their insurance coverage, such as Ameda, Ardo, Elvie, Lansinoh, Motif, Medela, Spectra, Evenflo, and Freemie.
“Mom deserves that the best options be presented to her, with as little hassle as possible,” Paul Singh, CRO of Bump Boxes, said. “The form is easy to fill out, and takes only a few minutes for Mom to submit her information. Bump Boxes will then suggest the best breast pump option based on mom’s location and insurance coverage.”
Those interested in applying for a free breast pump with insurance are able to go to https://bumpboxes.com/free-breast-pump to get started today.

What You Didn’t Know About Bacteria & Your Toothbrush!
You might not imagine that after you brush your teeth some germs still linger, but bacteria thrive on yourtoothbrush once you set it down after use. In fact, bacteria on your toothbrush can double every 20 minutes resulting in as many as 100 million microorganisms on those bristles. Gross!
This extra bacteria can be harmful to your overall dental health because it can lead to plaque, cavities and gum disease, but how can you keep your toothbrush as clean as your mouth feels after brushing?
Brush with one of Dr. Plotka’s toothbrushes! Using Naturally Antimicrobial* Bristles that are infused with EPA-approved silver, they naturally eliminate 99.9% of bacteria that grow on the bristles within six hours. This means that when you go to brush your teeth at bedtime, you aren’t reintroducing any additional bacteria into your mouth that otherwise would have grown & multiplied in between uses!
Silver is nothing new to the medical world–in fact, it’s been used for hundreds of years for its natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Silver suppresses a bacteria cell’s respiration and metabolism, thus inhibiting cell growth that normally causes infection, odor, illness, etc. Here are some other key features that make Dr. Plotka’s toothbrush better oral health tools:
- Flossing Bristles™ – Dual-layered bristle structure provides superior cleaning: the inner bristles, thin as a human hair, gently brush away food and plaque in places other brushes miss while the outer thicker bristles ensure complete cleaning of gum and teeth.
- Soft Long-Lasting Polyester Bristles – Get up to one extra month of use thanks to polyester bristles which bend better than the nylon bristles found in most other brushes on the market! (The ADA recommends changing your toothbrushevery 3 months. The Doctor Plotka’s brush will last about 4!)
- Dentist Developed – Dr. Ronald Plotka designed this innovative toothbrush as part of his thriving 40+ year Boston-based dental practice.
ADULT MANUAL TOOTHBRUSH
YOUTH MANUAL TOOTHBRUSHRecommended for ages 3-12, teens with braces, or anyone who enjoys a smaller brush
- Antimicrobial Silver Technology* -99.9% of bacteria is eliminated from bristles within 6 hours after brushing due to our proprietary silver bristle technology.
- Flossing Bristles™ – long, soft bristles with 1 micrometer diameter tips reach areas missed by other toothbrushes. Our bristles reach deep into teeth grooves and the periodontal pockets (area between tooth and gum), while harder inner bristles ensure a complete cleaning.
- Superior Quality – Our polyester bristles outlast traditional nylon bristles and our comfort grip makes for an enjoyable brushing experience.

Types of yoga that will make a difference in your daily life
Yoga is an excellent way to get your daily exercise in.
Yoga has been around for centuries and its expansive health benefits have been widely documented. It helps with cardiovascular health, flexibility, posture, inflammation reduction, balance, strength, and so much more. Yoga is originally an Eastern practise and there are many different schools of yoga; while the overall goal is often the same, the methods to reach it might vary a great deal. Here we give you an overview of five different types of yoga that you can easily do at home or at your local yoga centre.
Yoga in a modern world
We live in a fast-paced world where there is always a new adventure waiting around the corner. However, many of us find ourselves sat in front of a computer for hours at a time, whether for work or in our time off, and electronic devices such as smartphones have become a permanent part of our lives. Our phones have the ability to connect us to almost every corner of the world and we can reach whatever we desire at the touch of a button. As such, newspapers like The Guardian have adapted to readers’ requests for streamlined news, and gaming platforms such as PokerStars have adapted their games to be better and more accessible on a smartphone. Streaming companies such as Netflix, Hulu, and HBO are constantly updating their content for mobile devices, making it even easier for us to stream and watch on demand wherever and whenever we want.
This constant access to entertainment definitely has its benefits, but it can also take a toll on the body and posture. This is where yoga comes in. Yoga is a reset button in a busy day. It is a chance to sit, relax, and breathe, centering yourself once again. Sometimes it might feel like there is no time to sit and balance yourself, but those are usually the times when we need it the most. Yoga can be done anywhere, anytime, and just as you are. All you need to do is wear comfortable clothing, have a bottle of water nearby, and tune into yourself as you block out the world.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga is typically how beginners first encounter yoga. It is a type of yoga that focuses on slow, controlled breathing, and learning correct postures. It is great for beginners because of the slower pace but can be practised by anyone as it is a gentle form of yoga that aims to bring the focus back inwards.
Kundalini Yoga
There are many similarities between the yoga styles but each have their own distinct characteristics.
This type of yoga is great for people at all stages of their yoga practise, but might be more geared towards people that want to delve even deeper than the basics. People who practise Kundalini Yoga do so with equal focus on both the physical and spiritual part of the practise, and the practise aims to release the kundalini energy that is believed to be trapped, or rather coiled, at the base of the spine. It can be a rather intense form of practise that involves a lot of core work, breathing, meditations, and mantras.
Ashtanga Yoga
This kind of yoga is definitely more for the experienced yogi. It is typically a series of vigorous yoga poses strung together to create a beautiful, but physically exhausting, flow. It is great for strength, focus, repetition, concentration, flexibility, and dedication.
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa yoga springs from Ashtanga yoga. It is a very dynamic style that focuses on creating a routine where the movements and the breathing flow together effortlessly. It is a very popular yoga style and for good reason as it is physically challenging and also brings in the spiritual aspect of meditation and breathwork.
Bikram Yoga
If you want to practise Bikram yoga you have to be prepared to sweat – quite literally. It is a type of yoga that is done in a very hot room with a high degree of humidity. It is a sequence consisting of 26 basic poses and each pose is usually performed twice, putting extra emphasis on stretching your mind and body even further in the second execution – but still with a great deal of focus on proper alignment of the body.
There you have a bit of inspiration for your summer yoga practise, whether you are just starting out and have planned to make this summer the one where you learn yoga, or if you are an experienced yogi with years of practise behind you.
