that blogad
i can't get past that babybella blogad that keeps appearing with the photo of what i guess is suppose to help with nursing discreetly . . . but it keeps looking like a straitjacket for a tumor to me. with the bare shoulder it looks even odder. . .like she's topless under it.
click on the link. The brand name of the nursing cover is "Hooter Hider." Charming. You'll never convince me in a million years that a woman, let alone a nursing mother, came up with that name. My babies head "hides" my "hooters" just fine, thank you. And unattractive nursing tops? Have they never heard of GlamourMom (I've turned into a junkie for 'em.) Beyond that tank, I own no "nursing" tops. Why waste your money? I just wear a camisole under my t-shirts, and viola, instant nursing top.
I'm getting SICK of the fact that so much money can be made off my fun-bags (to keep with the sickining nicknames for my breasts. In my book, only breasts, tits, or boobs are acceptable, but that's just me) Anyway, they sell me bras to maximize, minimize and reshape. Tops to make them look just so. Creams and surgery to make them bigger. They use them to sell beer and resturaunts and perfume. And when I finally use them for what they're for, they tell me I need to hide them as much as possible. FUCK THIS SHIT!
I'm in full blown Tit-rage today. Anyone want to join me?

I just spent Easter Sunday listening to a man discuss how offended he was on a recent trip to Minneapolis - there was a woman NURSING in the restaurant where he was! Guess where? Guess where? It sounds like a bad joke, and I did guffaw when he told me...HOOTERS.
There is so much wrong with that whole thing I cannot even begin to describe it.

on purpose! A lactivist event.
Yes, I loved that.
Yes, that looks ridiculous. I can wear a sexy, bare-ing outfit, but Maude forbid I use my boobs for what they are frickin for!

our local Hooter's has a sign outside that says "Kids eat free on Sundays" and I got mr sauce to take a photo of me nursing underneath it. Sadly the pic didn't turn out so I gotta wait for the next kid to do a retake.

Looks like a tent to me and notice the model is small and blonde hmmm. I didn't BF but I'm all for it. i think that shirt or whatever the hell it is would make people pay attention alot more than just a babe being there. i think you said it perfectly dagny.most idiots don't even see the irony of it all.

checked it out the other day out of morbid curiosity. What woman with any self respect would buy a product called HOOTER HIDERS. It's so fucking derogatory and I don't remember but would guess that a group of smug male executives came up with the name. At least I hope so.
I would nurse topless in a Speedy Muffler before I'd use that thing.
I was also thinking that this product is actually breastfeeding unfriendly. The name is insulting. It makes nursing look like a big hassle. Poor unlucky nursing mother, hiding under an ugly, unwieldy fabric poncho. Wouldn't be so much easier, and prettier for you to use a bottle?.
O.k., so the maker of this product probably had the best of intentions but really...I don't know for sure, but I think people who use this stuff are probably not going to nurse all that long because of all the hassle and prep involved in hiding those hooters. And I know that even just nursing a baby for a short while under your hider is better than nothing at all...But I'm still pissed off and suspicious of this product...

love how you put that sentiment! and so sadly true. . .i remember when DS was really little (like a few weeks old) i would try to be "respectful" in public places (i.e. the train, waiting areas) with a little blanket. that lasted a few weeks until i realized how much more ridiculous i felt. now he is 13 months and i revel in nursing him whereever and whenever. i've nursed on a number of flights right next to business men who are clearly uncomfortable. . .this makes supremely happy, because i feel like i am getting back at all the uncomfortable comments i have overheard about my body or another woman's body during my lifetime. childish? yup.
