Double celebration at Feelou! Last month, The Hague-based impact startup was awarded two Baby Innovation Awards at the Baby Business Borrel during the Negen Maanden Beurs. The company was nominated in two categories and won both, including the prestigious Design Award.
Recognition from both experts and parents
The professional jury awarded the patented Feelou® bra for its innovative design, while the panel of parents praised its comfort and ease of use. This means that both industry professionals and parents themselves recognize the Feelou® bra as a true game-changer.
“Winning not just one, but two awards is an incredible honor!” says Noor, founder of Feelou. “Being acknowledged by both experts and parents shows that we have developed a product that truly makes an impact. We are beyond thrilled with this recognition!”
Innovation, design, and sustainability in one
The Feelou® bra is the first nursing bra that fully adapts to a woman’s body from pregnancy to breastfeeding and beyond. Thanks to its patented closing sytem and the crossover design, the bra is highly adjustable, eliminating the need to buy multiple sizes. This not only offers ultimate convenience but also reduces waste, making it a more sustainable choice.
The Hague-based impact startup with a big mission
Feelou, founded by Anne Dijkstra and Noor Figdor, is based in The Hague, where they work daily on smart, sustainable solutions for expectant mothers. With this double win, the brand strengthens its position as a pioneer in innovative maternity lingerie.
The award-winning Feelou bra is available at www.feelou.co.
About Feelou – An innovative startup founded by Noor Figdor and Anne Dijkstra. They found it frustrating that pregnancy required so many different bras – a hassle no one needs during such an important time. That’s why they developed the patented Feelou® maternity bra.
There are 6 meetups at Clockwise in The Hague. The women have access to all the online courses on the changemaker platform.
The price per participant is 500 euros. The Hague Online has been offered a special discount for our community – email us on editor@thehagueonline.com for more information.

Entrepreneurs and property owners of the Haagse Goudsbloemlaan, Kijkduin and Eigenaren Den Haag Centrum have taken the initiative to establish three new business investment zones (BIZ).
A BIZ is a demarcated area, such as a shopping area or business park, within which entrepreneurs and/or owners jointly invest in the quality of the environment. For example, by organizing activities and providing decoration with flower boxes and mood lighting during the holidays.
In addition to the establishment of the new BIZ areas Goudsbloemlaan, Kijkduin and Eigenaren Den Haag Centrum, three existing BIZ areas have been extended: Keizerstraat, business park Westvlietweg and Dierenselaan/Apeldoornselaan eo.
In The Hague, more than 1.3 million euros are being invested by the BIZ areas. In doing so, they make an important contribution to the attractiveness and liveability of our city.
The Hague BIZs
The municipality of The Hague supports the establishment of BIZs. Entrepreneurs and/or owners in a BIZ area draw up a five-year plan and pay a contribution to the municipality.
These contributions are granted annually as a subsidy to the BIZ association or foundation. The Hague has 27 business investment zones, including the establishment of the new BIZs Goudsbloemlaan, Kijkduin and Eigenaren Den Haag Centrum.
