Side opening nursing tops

On our side-openingBreastfeeding t-shirts , you can access your breast from the side of the garment thanks to two zippers on the sides. The result: you can breastfeed without lifting anything, without having to lower your neckline, and without exposing your stomach. Over 130 styles, ranging from approximately €20 to €44.

How does a side-opening mechanism work?

There is a zipper on each side of the T-shirt, at chest level. Unzip the side you'll be nursing from: your baby has direct access to the breast, while the rest of the T-shirt stays in place.

After feeding, zip it back up. The outfit stays neat, without wrinkles or gaps.

What are the advantages compared to other systems?

• Discretion: The entrance is on the side, out of sight;
• Comfort: Your stomach stays covered, even in cool weather;
• Convenience: the zipper can be opened with one hand;
• Easy to switch between: one zipper per breast, so each one has its own opening.

What models are available?

The collection features solid-color, printed, slogan, and customizable T-shirts with short, 3/4, or long sleeves, and round, boat, or V-necks. To see the entire line, check out our Breastfeeding t-shirts and our zip-upBreastfeeding t-shirts .

How can I breastfeed discreetly using this system?

Hold your baby against you, unzip the side you want, and let the fabric naturally cover the feeding. A small cloth or a thin scarf can provide extra privacy if you'd like.

What size should I choose?

Choose your usual pre-pregnancy size. If you're unsure, go with the larger size for a more comfortable fit. Some styles run small—this is noted in the product description.

Can you wear them during and after pregnancy?

Yes, the fit is comfortable during pregnancy, and you'll get used to the zippers before the baby is born. When zipped up, they can still be worn long after weaning.

How do you care for zippers?

Wash the T-shirt at 30 °C on the delicate cycle, inside out and with the zippers closed. Do not tumble dry; lay flat to dry. Specific instructions are listed on each product page.

How long does it take for the clothing to be shipped?

Clothing is shipped within 48 business hours. For items with custom embroidery, please allow up to about eight business days.

What is the return policy?

You have 14 days after receipt to request a refund for an item that does not meet your expectations; exchanges are not permitted. Personalized items with embroidery cannot be returned or refunded. Please contact our customer service team in advance at bonjour@23maiparis.com.
