Hi, I’m Rachel — founder of BFF Active and mom of five.
I’ve been breastfeeding (or tandem nursing!) for over six years — and even longer than that, I’ve been an avid runner, hiker, and lover of all things active.
These days, movement looks a little different — with kids in tow, a baby on my hip, or a toddler in the carrier — but staying active is still part of who I am.
And through it all, I kept running into the same problem: workout clothes that just weren’t made for moms.
I got tired of:
Wrestling with layers just to nurse on the go
Flashing my midsection on a hiking trail or at the playground
Sweating through clingy cotton or stinky polyester
Feeling like no one had thought of moms like me
And when I couldn’t find the kind of nursing-friendly activewear I truly needed — I decided to make it myself.
That’s how BFF Active was born.
A shirt that’s moisture-wicking, comfortable, and nursing-accessible. One that works as a stand-alone piece in the heat, or a base layer when it’s cold.
One that finally supports moms who want to move and feed freely — without compromise.
Honestly? I just wish I had started this sooner… so I could’ve used it with all my babies.
If you’ve ever paused an adventure to wrestle with your shirt, sweat through the wrong fabric, or feel like your clothes just don’t support the life you’re living — BFF Active is for you.
Let’s make motherhood more active, more comfortable, and a lot more supported.
