Here's the description from Ameda:
Breastfeeding moms need
supportive intimates that prevent compression and encourage healthy lactation.
Introducing the new Ameda Intimates Nursing Bra and Nursing Camisole collection
– a line designed specifically to provide nursing moms with the ultimate in
comfort and support. Backed by more than 70 years of experience in the
breastfeeding category, Ameda is proud to announce this latest addition to its
wide range of products. With flexible microfiber fabric and dual side knit
panels, both the bras and camisoles adapt to a mother’s changing shape and
won’t cut into her skin. Featuring lightly absorbent properties, the intimates also
work to prevent bacteria growth and odors, which can be a major concern for new
moms. The fabric is free from harmful substances, reducing the risk of skin
irritation and allergic reaction for both mom and baby.
The line ranges from $39.99
(bra) - $44.99 (camisole) at www.amedadirect.com, www.amedababy.com and www.ameda.com.
Here's Annie's Reaction:
I was recently given an opportunity
to try out the new Ameda nursing tank. The tank is beautiful; the fabric is
thick, soft, and stretchy. It fits the abdomen snugly, which I think will be
perfect for the first few weeks after delivering baby girl this summer! The
clasps are a ball-and-joint type fastener, rather than the typical clip you see
on nursing bras. I was able to fasten it with one hand (with some maneuvering)
but it was much easier to fasten using both hands.
The Ameda tank has a soft
cup bra built in, which offers more support than most shelf tanks. Being a
larger woman on top, I really prefer the level support an underwire provides
for being out and about, so I will most likely use this product around the
home. The tank fit me well, but runs a little small for the sizing chart. I’m
right in the middle of my size on the chart. When checking the chart, if you
are on the upper end of a size, I would definitely recommend purchasing the
next size. In all, I am very pleased with their new line and wouldn’t mind
having a few more to add to my wardrobe!
Back to Heather:
Thank you so much for your insights, Annie! I too struggle with finding the right size for things so I really appreciate your comment about going up a size! For those who prefer bras over camis, here is a picture for you:
For those of you who nursed or are currently nursing, what tips do you have for finding the right fit for you? What do you like in a nursing cami or bra? Would you like to try the Ameda Nursing Cami or Nursing Bra?
