What a steal

Some of you have seen the bebe au lait nursing covers or the "hooter hider" brand, but I hadn't heard of "udder covers" before. However, they look the same to me and they serve pretty much the same function.

And they're free.

They're having a great promo right now (can't get much better, actually), where you can get one for free as long as you pay shipping and handling (a $32 savings!!). The s&h is $8.95, so this is only a deal if you were planning on getting one anyway. But if you're nursing, going to be nursing, or have a baby shower to go to soon, I wouldn't pass this up.

Just go to their site here:

https://www.uddercovers.com/

And then enter the promo code "backorder" when you checkout. I did it. It works.

(and be sure to disregard the photo in the slideshow where the two friends are drinking wine in front of the nursing mother, who isn't. Jenny pointed this out to me, and I think that's hilarious. What jerks!)

As I told a couple of you to whom I sent this deal earlier, I'm not usually intensely modest about breastfeeding in public. I do cover, but don't go hide away somewhere and don't make a concerted effort to shield everyone from everything. For me, it's a matter of principle. No one asks women in low-cut blouses to cover up, and they're flashing at least as much breast as I am when I'm breastfeeding AND I'm feeding my kid!! They're just showing them off for funsies and it's okay, but me doing the most natural, God-given thing in the world is somehow offensive? I think not.

I think that the message that sends (woman's body as sex object = okay; woman's body as nourishing, comforting life-giver = gross) is demeaning to women and the people who have a problem with breastfeeding in public are the ones who ought to be ashamed of themselves.

And like I told the girls earlier, they're boobs, you know - this is what they are for.

Okay, so if I'm all hot and bothered about this, why did I get one? Yeah, good question. However, I'm going to be flying soon and do feel like that's pretty close quarters in which to be exposing myself, in addition to which, Coleman won't be there to help me get set up (sometimes it's difficult to keep something draped on you while you need two hands to get positioned, latched, etc.). So, I'd been thinking about getting one and this deal just made it an easy choice. I think I may like the two-free-hands thing in the future, too, you know?

So, I'm proud of you if you don't want one (power to the milk mamas!), but if you do, check it out. It's quite a deal.
