About Us

We are all familiar with maternity bras where the cups drop down for breastfeeding, however it has come to most of our attention that these aren't the most practical garments to wear when breastfeeding in public. It's fantastic to see so many new garments designed to help us feel more confident during breastfeeding, but at Top Secret Maternity we didn't want to change something that has worked for so long; so we just made it better.

Underneath the fashionable outer layer is the patented built-in bra with privacy layer:

Top Secret Maternity garments combine the features that you are familiar with in a traditional maternity bra with the comfort and discretion that many women are now looking for.

In with the old:

• Adjustable straps to allow for changing breast size during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Standard maternity bra clasp for easy one handed opening and closing.

In with the new:

• Unlike most shelf bras, Top Secret Maternity tops incorporate a shaped built-in bra, so it's as supportive as a traditional bra.
• This bra layer is made from a tightly knitted cotton lycra fabric so it's stretchy enough to be pulled over the head, but firm enough to offer support. The back is a single panel with no clasps, so they are comfortable enough to sleep in.
• The privacy layer is exposed when the cup is dropped. It is designed to be lifted to allow the baby to attach, and the opening is large enough for the entire breast to be accessed if desired. The privacy layer can then be pulled down to meet the baby's mouth and cover the upper part of the breast during feeding. As the baby comes off it can be pulled back over the breast before the cup is done up.

So why not pre-shaped cups? - Some pre-fabricated cups are padded and don't offer the flexibility needed when the cup is dropped. Other pre-fabricated cups are flexible but not supportive enough for breastfeeding.

Please Note: Garments with a triangle-shaped breast cover (like the Sari) have a built-in shelf bra with privacy layer, but the additional breast support needed is provided by the individual cups.
