Nursing camisole with body contouring control

Abstract

A wire-free nursing camisole with detachable front straps is described. The nursing camisole allows the top of the camisole to be folded down in order to facilitate nursing. The lower half of the camisole encircling the tummy and lower back region is lined with a second layer of fabric capable of creating a smoothing effect of the tummy area, making it appear firmer and tighter. The camisole provides for fashionability, body shaping, and contouring, in a single garment.

Problems solved by technology

Traditional camisoles, however, fail to meet the specific needs of nursing mothers, whose milk-filled breasts may be heavier and difficult to manipulate for breastfeeding.

There lacks a selection of camisoles capable of providing comfortable breastfeeding without removal of the camisole.

This presents a problem for many women who choose to nurse in public, and desire to maintain a certain degree of modesty.

In addition, some nursing mothers may be concerned about their postpartum bodies in which a loose stomach, side, and/or back area may typically be associated due to difficulties in losing weight gained after birth, or loss of muscle tone after pregnancy and/or a Caesarian section.
