Access assessed
Nursing wear comes with dozens of different access points to suit different individuals. Here’s a list of the most common designs:
Wrap style access
Accessed simply by pulling aside fabric at the top of the garment. Simple to use, as nursing access can be gained single-handedly.
Side access
The neckline layer is pulled aside to access the nursing openings in the sides of the garment.
Empire line access
The nursing openings are accessed by pulling up the top at the empire line, just under the bust. Clothes with this type of access are styled to look like a regular top.
Oversized armhole access
A nifty invention – the overlayer of the garment is pulled aside to access the nursing layer underneath at the front.
Pull down access
Known to be the simplest nursing access, it’s great for first-time mothers and night-time feeds when you are sleepy and need quick, fuss-free access. Simply pull aside the stretchy fabric of the garment.
Crossover access
Two overlapping bands conceal the breastfeeding openings beneath. Suitable for breastfeeding twins, as both sides can be accessed simultaneously.
Double layer access
Two layers sit on top of one another – pulling the uppermost layer upwards will give access to the nursing openings, whilst keeping your back, tummy and sides covered by the bottom nursing underlayer.
Modesty panel access
In place of slits is a panel of fabric which sits flat against the chest and can be lifted at either side to give access to the breast. With no “cutout” area underneath, this gives a very smooth line to the breastfeeding top.
Inner cammi access
A style that incorporates an inner camisole layer with nursing openings. Double layer nursing panel access The chest is covered by two layers of overlapping panels. One layer pulls down, whilst the other layer pulls up for nursing access.
Drop cup access
Often worn in place of a bra for support and function in one garment, these styles let you undo simple clasps, releasing the front panel to access the nursing openings in the layer beneath.
Vertical centre opening
To access the nursing openings in the underlayer, just pull aside the vertical opening in the front. – Source: bellamama.co.uk/nursingaccess.html
