Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really not have to wear a bra with this top?  The whole idea behind our tops and nightgowns is that you don’t ever have to wear a bra. Our Light Hug ™ is not meant to lift and support or enhance your cleavage.  It, literally, lightly hugs your breasts allowing you to feel free and unbound. The shirring on the front of our tops and nightgowns provides camouflage to help hide your nipples. When sized just right the shirring will provide the coverage you need to not advertise the fact that you are braless. Even our large chested customers find they still feel comfortable going braless in our tops.

How is the Light Hug ™  supposed to fit? Unlike other inside shelves, ours is not meant to lift and support. It is meant to have a looser fit than what you are used to in order to feel free and be comfortable enough to sleep in.  The length of the Light Hug ™ is slightly longer than a traditional shelf and the elastic should fit but not bind around the under part of your breast.

What is the difference between the regular fabric and the ribbed?  The  ribbed fabric has more texture to it because it has small ridges on both sides of the fabric where as the regular is smooth.  The ribbing adds a unique dimension to the product while also providing additional camouflage in the tops. Both are equally soft and buttery in texture and in weight. The differences are very subtle. Here is a side-by-side comparison:

How do your sizes run?  Please see size chart provided on each page. Overall, they run true to size.  Our JJs are made up of primarily a sustainable modal fabric. As soft and yummy and less harmful to the environment as that it is, we have found that, after being washed, the fibers in the garment will relax and loosen. So, if you are between sizes, it is best to size down.

What is modal fabric?  It is a super soft fiber made from beech trees.  It is considered a semi-synthetic because the raw material, cellulose, is a natural material which is then turned into fiber using an environmentally-friendly chemical process. The feel is soft and luscious.

How do I care for my JJs?  The best way to show your JJs some love is to wash in a mesh bag using machine cold wash and low temperature dryer.  Do not hang your tops or nightgowns from their straps.

Where are JJs made?  In Los Angeles, California. Our fabric is also locally made.

Will Happy Hour pants be too long for a woman under 5’4? With an inseam of 31", yes, our regular length pants will be a little long as we make to accommodate as many different heights as possible. As a lounge pant, many customers are fine with a little extra length. If this is a concern for you, try our Cloud 9 legging as that has the same comfy and forgiving fit as our Happy Hour pant, but is tapered at the ankle. We offer alternate lengths in some colors. For those, we have a petite length pant with an inseam of 28" and is best for someone 5'2" and under. For taller heights, we have a 31" long length which is best for 5'9" and over. 

Are JJs Bump Friendly?  While we are not maternity-specific, JJs work well for the first two trimesters and are the perfect choice for leaving the hospital with baby when you want to feel put together during those stressful days of being a new mom. Customers tell us the loose fitting inside shelf can be helpful when breastfeeding.

Dispute Resolution: In the event that there is a dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Us, or between you and Stodge, LLC d/b/a Postscript or any other third-party service provider acting on Our behalf to transmit the mobile messages within the scope of the Program, arising out of or relating to federal or state statutory claims, common law claims, this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, such dispute, claim, or controversy will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, determined by arbitration in Huntington Beach, CA before one arbitrator.

The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which {Company Name}’s principle place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.

Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept this Agreement, as modified.
