Glamourmom

I am a breastfeeding mom.  I nursed P until he was almost 18 months old, and I am still nursing Bean.  This is NOT a post to lecture anyone about the pros and cons of breastfeeding, nor do I cast judgement on moms who can't/don't want to breastfeed.  I strongly feel that breastfeeding is a personal choice.

That being said, this IS a post about an amazing product that I just tried out, that I want to share with those of you who are breastfeeding, are thinking about breastfeeding, or need a gift for a mama who falls into one of those categories ;)

I came home to a package Thursday night containing a Glamourmom nursing tank.  Specifically the "Nursing Bra Full Bust Long Tank" in black.

It was love at first sight <3.  First of all, don't you just adore the company name?!?  Who wouldn't want to consider themselves a GlamourMom?!?  Between the rouched top, the long legnth, and the mesh inside the bra to help the girls breathe, I couldn't wait to try the tank on!  I was not dissapoited.  It was extremely comfortable and supportive, and it looked cute!  I felt like I could wear it out with a pair of leggings or jeans, and no one would know that I wasn't wearing a traditional bra.  And so I did...I ran my errands wearing it, and was so comfy that I litterally forgot that I wasn't wearing a bra.  I actually paused in the car when I realized this, momentarily freaking out that I had left the house without one...(I have done this before...on the way to an interview, none the less.  True story...for another time!)  Then I smiled and realized that I was all set with my Glamourmom tank :) 

I have now worn, washed, slept, and gone out in my tank and I am thrilled at the quality of it. My only suggestion when you buy one is to buy up a size or two, depending on your body shape.  I have a particularly wide rib cage, so I don't like the way it feels to have something tight around that area.  The bra clasp in the tank is adjustable, but even on the largest setting I wasn't all that comfy, even though I ordered up a size.  I did however wear it out and about with the clasp undone and I still was very supported and you couldn't tell from the back that it wasn't clasped.

Not only does Glamourmom sell amazing tank tops, they also sell a huge collection of maternity and post-partum clothes for nursing, and non-nursing moms that offer tummy support, soft Pima cotton material, cool patterns and pretty lace detail.

As for me, as soon as I am back to working, I am going to treat myself to the Nursing Bra Nightgown...

I mean, really??  Why haven't I ever seen a nursing bathing suit??  It's brilliant!  I hate having to whip 'em out at the beach or the pool.  I would LOVE a little privacy!  I can't bring myself to put Bean's little head under one of those hot and stuffy nursing covers at the beach.  Poor thing!  She would be miserable!

Anyway, check out the Glamourmom website here and you can enter to win $100 worth of Glamourmom products!  Enjoy my fellow glamourous mommies! :)
