"Hi. In this clip I'm going to show you how to use a nursing tank when you're out breastfeeding in public. This is the Bravado nursing tank, which is one of my favorite nursing tanks because it has a full bra in the tank vs. a shelf bra, which is what a lot of nursing tanks on the market have. Just wanted to show the bra. Bravado is famous for their nursing bras. They're sort of the first on the market with a very comfortable original nursing bra. And this is their bra built into the tank, which is great. It provides great support, even for larger cupped women. So this is the tank, and this is a great thing for moms just to wear on its own if a mom doesn't mind having her chest, her upper chest exposed when she's nursing. It's also great to turn any top you're wearing into a nursing tank. If you're wearing a button down or sweater, it's easy to just come and undo your tank, lift up your sweater, or unbutton your shirt and move it aside. It's perfect. The way it works, is you just un-clip here, drop it down, and your breast would be exposed right there. And then once your baby is latched on, your belly is covered, but your chest is showing a little bit. So it's for those hot days if you don't mind your chest being exposed or for underneath a shirt or a sweater it's perfect. The other that thing you can do with the Bravado tank is it comes with a really cute little shrug that you can put on over top of it. So when you have it over top, it actually does provide some cover up for you here, and it's a really cute outfit. It ties in front, it's adorable. So another great alternative for nursing in public."
