AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a nursing garment that can be dressed up or down, allowing the woman to nurse as frequently as needed. The garment has a magnet embedded in the inner layer, making it easy to camouflage and comfortable to wear. The magnetic closure allows for a drop-down feeding method, making it convenient for mothers to breastfeed their children without having to pull up or down the entire front of the garment. Additionally, the garment allows for a seamless connection between the front and back, allowing for the integration of functional features without compromising the mother's ability to wear fashionable clothing.

Problems solved by technology

There is a very limited history on nursing clothing.
Fashion has not truly caught up to what nursing mothers need and want.
While this clip down access clip is functional, it cannot be used with fabric typical of most women's clothing and only allows for a thin strap.
This may be functional for breastfeeding while not being obvious, it is not necessarily practical as closing a side zipper while holding an infant can be difficult.
D736,499 uses camouflaged flaps as an opening but it is not always practical for every item of clothing.
