The Bump should only be worn under the guidance of a teacher/facilitator who has studied and understands the User Documentation provided with The Bump.

The Bump allows you to choose appropriate weights to suit the wearer, but as it is potentially a heavy garment, remember to take common sense precautions.

Ask the wearer to sit down.

Place The Bump on lap to support weight and help place The Bump onto wearer's shoulders.



Secure the straps over shoulders and ensure back straps are in position and fastened snugly.



Get wearer to stand and become accustomed to the extra weight and shift in balance.

Learn to appreciate some of the challenges pregnancy brings!



The Teacher must use common sense in judging the weight appropriate for the age and stature of the wearer. Remember that though an equivalent weight to The Bump is carried successfully by pregnant (and often young) women, they have had months to acclimatise.

We recommend that the Bump is not worn by young people of 12 or under, or by senior citizens. Ensure that the wearer can cope!

When The Bump has been securely fitted, the teacher should invite the wearer to stand then ensure that the wearer is confident of being able to cope with the bulk and weight.

We recommend that The Bump is worn for no more than 15 minutes and that repeat exercises with the same wearer are not attempted.
