Bravado! Designs: Tanks for the mammaries!
Okay, it’s no surprise that a baby would love a nursing top — it gives her easy access to the things she loves most. But it is a surprise when she really, truly loves the top. When I wear my gorgeous new Nursing Bra Tank ($45; shown at left) by Bravado! Designs I swear to you my 4-month-old daughter’s eyes light up.
And when you add up the facts, you really can’t blame her — the new sunset splash color is brilliant and very ‘this season,’ the cut and design are ridiculously flattering (I really didn’t know I could look this good!), and the full bra inside — not just a shelf bra — supports and shapes like you wouldn’t believe. It would seem my wee girl knows a thing or two about function and fashion. She makes her mama proud.
The Nursing Bra Tank, which is available in six colors, is perfect on its own or under any kind of top layer. Bravado! even makes a Nursing Tank Shrug ($25; shown at right) to pair it with. And though I’m not really the type to care about who sees what while I’m nursing, it is worth noting that the Nursing Bra Tank is rather revealing on its own — the drop-down cup leaves little to the imagination. So the shrug might be the perfect add-on to complete an outfit.
I also was lucky enough to try several of the Bravado! Original Nursing Bras (lucky me!) — one in the pretty new blush butterfly color, the other in plain white, but with bamboo added to the fabric. Both feature the Bravado! easy-to-use-with-one-hand clips and cups that drop completely away from the breast (so baby gets full access to mom’s breastaurant… sorry, a near-unforgivable pun). And both are equally comfortable and functional, as nursing mamas have come to expect from Bravado! products.
There are some interesting added benefits of the bamboo fabric, though: it has natural antibacterial properties, excellent moisture wicking and fast evaporation capabilities — all great features in a nursing bra. Bamboo is also an environmentally friendly material. And, wow, is it ever soft!
Comfort and convenience might seem elusive to many nursing mamas. But with bras and tanks by Bravado!, they need not be. Celebrity mamas like Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, and Jennifer Garner are fans, so stop fumbling with awkward nursing bras and start shopping for some Bravado!
