Benefits of technology

[0004]While wearing the invention as described underneath a regular (non-nursing) shirt, a woman can lift or open her outer shirt, and open the bra flap to access the breast while the attached invention opens with it, and she may nurse discreetly because the invention will keep her lower torso covered while her outer shirt is lifted or opened for the feeding.

Problems solved by technology

This can be very cumbersome.
Another downside to typical nursing wear is that each shirt is just one shirt requiring a woman who wants to wear a varied wardrobe to purchase a whole new wardrobe to nurse in.
They often do not give adequate support or the desired shape to the woman's figure.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]This invention basically looks like a camisole with no straps. There is an attaching device (such as a hook) at the location where a strap would normally start in the front of a camisole. It is manufactured out of fitted, stretchy material such as a cotton / spandex blend and has an ample length. The hooks are sewn in the front at the location a strap would normally start at the front top of a camisole. The hooks used are metal coated with nylon. The method of manufacturing is to have a manufacturer produce camisoles in the regular manner, but leave the strap unattached to the back of the camisole. A hook can then be slid onto the strap until it is fitted snugly at the front. The strap is then folded down and the sewn at near the hook right in the area where the front of the strap meets the front of the garment. The remainder of the strap can then be removed (cut off) so you no longer have any remaining strap, just a hook at the place where the strap would have been. The underga...

Abstract

This invention is an undergarment in the form of a strapless camisole that attaches to the flaps of any top opening nursing bra just below the clasp and opens with the flaps of the bra, staying, attached, when the woman opens the flaps to access the breasts for nursing. This invention therefore allows the woman to wear non-nursing shirts over the invention that is attached to their bra and keeps their lower torso covered when they lift or open their outer shirt to breastfeed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention is an undergarment that attaches directly to the flaps of any standard top-opening, nursing bra. It allows the nursing mother a way to keep her sides, back and belly covered when lifting or opening her outer shirt to breastfeed. Because the invention attaches to the flaps of a nursing bra, the mother does not have to open and close additional layers in order to gain access to the breast. She just opens the nursing bra and the invention stays attached and opens with the flap of the bra.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]Most nursing shirts typically require the woman to go through additional layers, slits or flaps in order to gain access to the breast. This can be very cumbersome. This invention simplifies the process because the invention is attached directly to the flaps of a nursing bra and does not need to be unattached in order to nurse. Therefore, a woman would just open the bra like usual, with the attached invention opening wit...
