# 2022 Leya |
Traditional home-birthing products are cumbersome and impractical, meaning women frequently opt for the more medicalised hospital system
Leya improves the experience of homebirths by empowering mothers to choose labouring posi-tions they find most effective. It can be used during labour, and throughout pregnancy to practice active birthing positions. Remaining active is associated with faster progression of labour and better outcomes for both mother and baby; Leya facilitates multiple positions by supporting the body and alleviating weight off the user’s legs.
